During the event, she referred to pro-life voters with open-carry gun permits as "extremists." "These extremists there claim to be for life but instead of acting to save lives from gun violence, state-by-state, made it legal to open carry a gun without even a permit or background check," Harris said.

The event was held at Flourish Legendary Events in Buckhead, a District in Atlanta, Georgia, and was organized by the Democratic Party of Georgia. Harris referenced a woman killed on Thursday in Atlanta and said, "Meanwhile, we mourn for the mother killed at a medical facility just a few blocks from here."
