Senator Saxby Chambliss of Georgia is retiring after his term ends this year. There was a lengthy slate of hopefuls running for the republican nomination for that seat. All the republicans were pretty staunch on the 2nd Amendment. There will be a runoff between current HofR member Jack Kingston and political newcomer David Perdue. Kingston has an A+ NRA rating during his House tenure, and Perdue (cousin of former Gov. Perdue) has a good rating based on the questionnaire sent out by NRA.
Conversely, democrat challenger Michelle Nunn, daughter of former Senator Sam Nunn, isn't such a good bet for 2nd Amendment supporters. At a fundraiser hosted by Michelle Obama in Washington last fall, Ms. Obama listed Ms Nunn as one of the female Senatorial candidates that was crucial to her husband's success in getting his agenda through. She specifically mentioned passage of gun control legislation. Ms Nunn was in attendance at the fundraiser.
Hopefully, the fact that it is an "off-year" election, and the broad appeal "electability" of either of the republican candidates will result in this particular Senate seat remaining in the 2nd Amendment friendly column.

Lol... big plus in my book. I prefer normal folks to represent me.
