Everytown has endorsed Amy Acton, and Buckeye Firearm Association has endorsed Vivek, so it couldn't be any clearer. Vote the 2nd... On Gun Control: Second Amendment absolutist; supports constitutional carry Self-described "Second Amendment absolutist" Ramaswamy says, "everyone has the right to carry a gun," including felons, Forbes reported in 2023. Instead of removing guns from law-abiding citizens, Ramaswamy said people who are "psychiatrically ill and dangerous and violent" should be removed from their communities and institutionalized. In a 2023 Politico article, Ramaswamy confirmed his support for "everyone" to have an "assault weapon" and for "constitutional carry." He told Real American's Voice he is against Red Flag laws: "In April 2023, Ramaswamy told a crowd at an NRA event that he will 'shut down' the FBI and establish a new 'police apparatus' that will do background checks." Aside from background check prior restraints that Ramaswamy supports (but then, so does the NRA), another concern for a politician who calls himself a "2A absolutist" is that his campaign website doesn't talk about the right to keep and bear arms at all.

Originally Posted By CJ47: No politician has ever lied or made empty, hyperbolic promises to get elected. This must be true To be fair, that's not really a very high bar and Vivek HAS been seen, shooting EBRs before. Not posing with them, but shooting them. Can you imagine Dewine or Kasich doing that? Like I said, low bar, but its not a stretch to say its probably true. |

It's not that I'm saying he's not our best choice, because it's obvious he's better than Acton, but it's more of me being tired of "I'm the most "X" and the best at "Y" this state/country has ever seen!". In the general election, there's really no reason to be so hyperbolic for what your party cares about. The division is so large anymore, once you win a primary you really only have to cater to the "centrist", or make your opponent's insane agenda come to light. |

I'm just saying that might actually be true, in this case. That's all. |

Your choices are the untested billionaire that does mostly the right things, and says mostly the right stuff, or the true blue anti gun, shut down the state because Fauci said so, and hes a smarter doctor than me, democrat. Those are your choices. Stay home or protest vote and blue gun hater wins. Purity tests in politics are counter productive and stupid. |

His campaign isn’t going so well: Vivek Ramaswamy booed off of stage at Young Americans of Liberty Conference In fairness, Amy Acton was just revealed to be an addict and almost failed getting her medical license. Looks like Ohio has two “winners” to pick from. |

Yup, go ask Virginia what happens when a “moderate” Dem wins the state because gun owners are lazy and stupid. I don’t like or trust Vivek, but compared to the last 30 years of GOP governors he’s an improvement.

Which as ive explained to Jews looking for a new political home, is a very marginalized 15% of the Republican party. Our mainstream does not want them dead, does not require a purity of thought and would welcome them. |

I won’t go as far as to say there aren’t people who call themselves conservatives who fall for that BS, but as Casey found out, it’s a much smaller percentage of the party than scrolling X would have you believe. It’s mostly a foreign psyop. Now the Democrats on the other hand? All you have to do is look at who is winning primaries this year. |

I think Vivek is a smarmy clown, but I certainly don't want her. |

He never had a chance and hardly looked like he wanted to be taken seriously. |

Fortunately Ohioans will choose our Governor. Not North Carolinians.. Vivek will be solid, and good for the Second Amendment rights of Ohioans. Acton certainly would not be. By the way you don't get to claim first in flight either, that was 100% Buckeyes. Originally Posted By HitTheForwardAssist: I hope Vivek loses so I never have to hear from him again.

Now, if you're one of those guys who was going to stay home because you dont care for the choices. Consider your over the counter suppressors. Which candidate is likely to support amending the ORC to remove suppressors from the definition of DD? Right now Ohio mandates suppressors be on the NFA or they are illegal in Ohio. Until the ORC is amended, the recent court victory does not include us. |

Well states Shotar! BFA is respectfully but enthusiastic encouraging our State Lawmakers in the Ohio House to pass SB 214 asap. Credit where it is due - We should give a tip of the hat to Congress and President Trump for the Big Beautiful Bill making this legal challenge/victory a possibility. Let's not throw away the good victories we've had in the name of the perfect. Guys - show up for this election. Help a campaign and get out and vote and encourage others to do so!

Right, I'm worried because I heard a ton of people say they are sitting it out. When I don't like my options I pick the one I don't like the most and vote for the other guy. |

I ALWAYS donate to the RIGHT folks. I withheld all cash this cycle. Simply because they should have held endorsement and let us fucking pick. I'mstill butthurt |

We can gripe about Vivek and Husted not being perfect candidates. But the simple truth is they are both far superior to their respective opponents. The stakes are too high. Get out and vote. Remind like minded people to vote. Ask conservative friends and family on election day if they voted, and if not, pester them to get to the polls!! Second Amendment supporters were able to bring enough pressure to force DeWine to support our objectives . . . and it can be done with other republican office holders. The same is not true if democrats are elected. |
