via Breitbart Feed
Gun rights are essentially on the ballot in a number of Governor's races
around the country. Among these are the races in Arizona, Colorado,
Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Texas.
In all fives of these states, a pro-Second Amendment candidate or incumbent
is running against a pro-gun control candidate or incumbent.
In the Arizona race, pro-Second Amendment candidate Doug Ducey (R) is
running against pro-gun control candidate and former Clinton White House
Deputy Director Fred DuVal (D). Ducey believes we have enough gun laws on
the books and thinks the focus should be on bettering our mental health
system. DuVal is the complete opposite. Breitbart News previously reported
that DuVal supports a push to ban private gun sales in the state of Arizona
via the passage of universal background check requirements.
Ducey is the clear choice for Arizonans who love the Second Amendment.
In Colorado, Governor John Hickenlooper (D) faces a strong challenge from
pro-Second Amendment candidate Bob Beauprez (R). Hickenlooper infamously
ignored the concerns of Colorado Sheriffs and signed universal background
checks and a magazine capacity ban into law after talking with Michael
Bloomberg in the spring of 2013.
Since that time, Hickenlooper denied talking to Bloomberg--only to correct
his denial three days later--and admitted that the magazine ban he signed
was "unenforceable," only later to change that statement to "difficult to
enforce."
Beauprez is the clear choice for Coloradans who love the Second Amendment.
In the Connecticut race, pro-gun control Governor Dannel Malloy (D) faces a
strong challenge from pro-Second Amendment candidate Tom Foley (R).
Breitbart News previously reported that Malloy signed gun control
legislation in April 2013--at the height of the Democrat-created post-Sandy
Hook gun control hysteria--and has defended the legislation ever since.
Malloy's candidacy is supported by Michael Bloomberg, Moms Demand Action for
Gun Sense in America, and Gabby Giffords. On the other hand, Foley has
signaled he will relieve the burden on law-abiding gun owners by repealing
Malloy's gun control measures if the state legislature sends him a bill to
sign.
Foley can reverse the damage Malloy has done to the Second Amendment in
Connecticut.
In Pennsylvania, pro-Second Amendment incumbent Tom Corbett (R) is facing a
challenge by pro-gun control candidate Tom Wolf (D). On the Issues reports
that Wolf supports "universal background checks" and a "ban [on] assault
weapons."
On the other hand, on October 28 the NRA-ILA reported that Corbett signed "
the strongest firearm preemption in the country." The measure strengthens
preexisting preemption statutes to guarantee that "firearm and ammunition
laws are consistent throughout the state," which is very important for
people who carry a gun for self-defense.
Corbett is certainly the candidate for pro-Second Amendment voters in
Pennsylvania.
Lastly, in the Texas gubernatorial race, pro-Second Amendment candidate Greg
Abbott (R) is running against pro-gun control candidate Wendy Davis (D).
Breitbart News has previously reported that Abbott supports the current
concealed carry laws in Texas, but wants to expand them to include open
carry and campus carry as well. But Davis opposes campus carry--she voted
against it twice as as state legislator--and in 2000, while a member of the
Fort Worth City Council, proposed an ordinance which could have resulted in
more regulations on gun shows within city limits.
Abbott is the clear choice for pro-Second Amendment voters in the Lone Star
State. | r*********e
