Editor’s Note: Political correspondent Tanya Metaksa is taking a break following the passing of her husband, George last week. Here’s a roundup of political candidates who are asking for gun owners’ votes Nov. 5. Keep this list handy for reference as you fill out your ballots, and don’t forget to vote.
TGM offers its sincere condolences to Tanya. Those of us who knew and respected George lost a good friend and an unheralded champion of the Second Amendment.
Presidential race
Randy Kozuch, Executive Director of the National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA), wrote a guest editorial, The Truth About Kamala Harris’s Gun Policy, for the Daily Caller and the NRA-ILA website. The NRA-ILA editorial is entitled Kamala for Gun Confiscation: In Her Own Words.
Harris-Walz position on firearms:
Although Vice President Harris denied wanting to ban guns on the ABC debate last month, here is the exact statement on the KamalaHarris.com website.
This paragraph sums up the Democrat position on the Second Amendment:
“As President, she won’t stop fighting so that Americans have the freedom to live safe from gun violence in our schools, communities, and places of worship. She’ll ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, require universal background checks, and support red flag laws that keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people. She will also continue to invest in funding law enforcement, including the hiring and training of officers and people to support them, and will build upon proven gun violence prevention programs that have helped reduce violent crime throughout the country.”
Additionally, she is going to go after the current Supreme Court and former President Donald Trump:
“Vice President Harris believes that no one is above the law. She’ll fight to ensure that no former president has immunity for crimes committed while in the White House. She will also support common-sense Supreme Court reforms — like requiring Justices to comply with ethics rules that other federal judges are bound by and imposing term limits — to address the crisis of confidence facing the Supreme Court.”

Editor’s Note: In the Washington gubernatorial race, Democrat Bob Ferguson is a career gun control advocate who publicly supported anti-gun Initiative 1639 in 2018 and more recently pushed for state bans on so-called “assault weapons” and “large-capacity magazines.” He is opposed by former Sheriff and Republican Congressman Dave Reichert, who advocates arrest and prosecution of criminals, and who also brought gun activists and gun control proponents together while he was sheriff of King County. Democrats are pouring millions of dollars into the campaign, outspending Republicans more than 50-to-1.
