The National Rifle Association brought its “2026 Gun Bus Battleground Tour” to Savannah on Thursday, setting up outside Nine Line Apparel at 450 Fort Argyle Road. The event, billed as an NRA 2A Day, ran from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., giving local gun owners and constitutional rights supporters a venue to gather, learn, and voice their commitment to the Second Amendment.
According to WTOC, the tour is part of a national effort that began on Aug. 26 and will make 63 stops across 13 states. NRA officials describe the tour as a strategy to energize voters and ensure that both the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate retain a pro‑Second Amendment majority. The organization also said the tour aims to back pro‑Second Amendment candidates in state and local races, underscoring the political significance of the stop for Savannah residents who care about gun rights.
Amir Sports, speaking on behalf of the NRA at the Savannah stop, emphasized the group’s stance on responsible gun ownership and common‑sense laws. “We 100% believe in responsible gun ownership and that it all takes common sense laws. And that when it comes to the second amendment, there’s no one like us that’s gonna defend, promote, and protect your fundamental, constitutional rights,” he said, reinforcing the tour’s message of defending constitutional freedoms.
The choice of Nine Line Apparel as the venue placed the event in a visible commercial area, making it accessible to a broad cross‑section of the community. Attendees were able to meet NRA representatives, receive informational materials, and hear directly from advocates about upcoming legislative priorities. The presence of the bus tour in Savannah highlights the city’s role as a key battleground for Second Amendment issues in the upcoming midterm elections.
Looking ahead, the NRA announced that the next stop on the tour will be Saturday at the University of Georgia vs. Auburn tailgate at Dooley Field in Sanford Stadium, Athens. That event is scheduled to run all day, continuing the tour’s momentum as it moves through the region. Savannah residents who wish to stay involved can follow the NRA’s schedule for future stops or contact local pro‑Second Amendment groups for additional engagement opportunities.
