Guys and girls of ARFcom, it is election year. As such, we should practice what we preach by voting for pro-2A candidates.
Here in Tennessee, we have an anti-2A Governor (as demonstrated by his actions this past legislative session), but we will be replacing him soon. As you ponder whom to vote for, please consider the candidates carefully. For your information and reading pleasure, I offer the responses of Joe Kirkpatrick, Republican candidate. He responded to my blog - The Usagi Blog. There is a link in the Blog to a recent article of 9 questions asked by the Commercial Appeal of the other candidates for Governor, and their responses. ETA: My take? Kirkpatrick and Ramsey are spot-on. Wamp is OK. I don't know if I completely trust him just because he's been in Washington for the last 16 years. Haslam is not trustworthy. Gibbons answers the same way as the gun-grabbing Dems... |
| His responses were well-stated and in line with what the founding fathers believed in while writiing the Constitution. However, I believe that Haslam will win, but the American people are tired of the way that the government is steamrolling the Constitution, and they will vote accordingly in november 2010. Thanks for the link and for being an informed citizen. |

Remember, Haslam was a member of NY Mayor Bloomberg's 'Mayors against Illegal Guns' until he decided to run for Governor.
Ron Ramsey has the best pro-gun record, with Wamp a close second place. Ramsey has worked very closely with TFA in assisting our legislation in getting passed. He has a wealth of experience in dealing with the TN Legislature that will benefit him if he is elected as governor. |

Wamp is solid, and if he makes it to the general election (which is likely) I would not hesitate to vote for him, especially against the Dems on this ticket.
The only knocks on Mr. Wamp are his votes for Tarp and the stimulus - which is what has prompted me to openly question whether he has been in Washington too long. Either way, I still think his personal values are in the right place. The irony for me is that Zach Wamp is actually the first politician I ever cast a vote for back in 1994 in his successful bid for Congress. Yes, I'd cast that same vote if I had it to do again. |
