North Carolina -(AmmoLand.com)-It can be exhausting for Second Amendment supporters when their champions face tough re-election battles. In the Tarheel State, one such race is taking place for the United States Senate.

As of this writing, RealClearPolitics has the race as a toss-up, with Cal Cunningham having a 2.3-point lead in the RCP average.

While the 2016 election shows that polls can be very wrong, that same election did see North Carolinians vote out a pro-Second Amendment governor and put anti-Second Amendment extremist Roy Cooper in at the same time the state gave Donald Trump its 15 electoral votes.

So, this is a race that cannot be taken for granted.

In the state legislature of North Carolina, Tillis voted to preserve the confidentiality of concealed carry permit holders and backed a comprehensive improvement for law-abiding gun owners, among other actions. When he ran against Kay Hagan in 2014, he made a strong statement in support of the Second Amendment and challenging Hagans support for various restrictions in the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting.

As a Senator-elect, he followed up with another statement, and in the Senate has stood in defense of the Second Amendment. In addition to that, he has voted for judges who would uphold our rights, and also stood against the court-packing schemes that some have pushed. At this point, regardless of who opposed him in the general election, he has earned a second term.

The fact is, though, his opponent makes the decision to back Tillis even easier. Cal Cunningham has the endorsement of multiple anti-Second Amendment groups, including Bloombergs Everytown and the Giffords group originally formed by Mark Kelly. You can bet that if he is elected, he will gladly work to take away your rights.

In addition, he will be a reliable vote against the types of judges who would uphold our rights, would support various campaign finance reform schemes that would silence the grassroots activism of Second Amendment supporters, and his first vote in the 117th Congress would be to make Chuck Schumer the Senate Majority Leader. Second Amendment supporters can do without a Senator like that.

While polls show Cunningham has a lead, his campaign has been staggered by scandal.

Tarheel State Second Amendment Supporters Should Trust Thom Tillis With 2nd Term - AmmoLand Shooting Sports News

To the editor:

First in response to the article claiming the Peoples Rights organization is nothing but an extremist, dangerous group of people. Lets start with facts. The BLM movement has burned downed businesses, has destroyed property, has ripped down our statues, has viciously beaten people up for no other reason then being a different color. They scream in elderly peoples faces, theyre cruel, out of control. They are all about defunding the police and chaos. The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. Such language has created considerable debate regarding the amendments intended scope. And believe every human being has the right to make choices without the gov. intervening. We are smart human beings who respect other people and we care about others and their wellbeing, but at the same time we know we have also the right to speak out if our rights are being trampled. For some reason if you believe in free speech, the right to bear arms or you believe every baby deserves to live, or you know you have the right to freewill, youre considered a extremist, Why? Wake up! What has happened to us? The land of free, the home of the brave! Our creator Gods law, we are the last of a free country.

Monday, October 26 is a historic day for our country. For the first time in our history, Amy Coney Barrett has just become the first mother of school-aged children to serve on the Supreme Court, and I am proud to have voted to confirm her. It was disappointing that my opponent liberal Theresa Greenfield came out against holding a confirmation vote and echoed the liberal talking points. Justice Barrett is an inspiration to all and is proof to every woman and girl that we can do anything.Not only is Justice Barrett accomplished and qualified to serve on the highest court of the land, but she has also proven that she will not legislate from the bench and instead will follow our Constitution.As the newest member of the Supreme Court, Justice Barrett will protect our First Amendment rights, which includes the right of the people peaceably to assemble, but will draw a distinction between the anarchists who Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., has worked to set up bail money for who want to burn down our cities.

SEN. THOM TILLIS: AMY CONEY BARRETT INCREDIBLY QUALIFIED FOR SUPREME COURT, DEMS' RADICAL AGENDA ALARMINGWhile other liberals like Greenfield has claimed that there is systematic racism in our police department, Justice Barrett will not prejudge anyone and she will use the Constitution as her guide for thoughtful decisions, instead of highly charged political rhetoric. When it comes to the Second Amendment, it is no secret billionaire and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has spent millions including over $2 million in Iowa on behalf of Greenfield pushing for legislators who share his opposition to firearms.

In addition to hearing cases that water down the Bill of Rights, radical environmentalists led by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., who endorsed Greenfield on Sunday, will use environmental litigation as a backdoor to strip away our rights. Through the Green New Deal, liberals will try to limit the freedoms we enjoy through commercial air travel or the vehicles we drive. That includes my beloved Harley Davidson motorcycle. Yet, Justice Barrett will not succumb to these environmentalists and will protect our way of life and our liberties.

While it is hard to predict the future, one thing is certain: Amy Coney Barrett will be an excellent jurist for all Americans. She will defend our religious liberties and our individual freedoms.

Justice Barrett will only need one document to rein in the radical movement: our Constitution.

What am I voting for on Nov. 3? | The Herald-News - The Herald-News

For years the Kentucky blue blood Democrat has gone against the national party on many issues. Weve always stood for the Second Amendment, equal rights, and unions!

People from Appalachia go even further on our own, our people have always stood for what we believe to be right and have often stood out alone.

Carl Perkins, the man the Portsmouth bridge was named for, represented our area for many years in Washington D.C. In 1964, Mr. Perkins was one of very few Democrats and the only Democrat from Kentucky to vote for the Civil Rights Act. That makes me very proud to know someone from my area was willing to stand for what was right even if it meant standing alone!

I believe that to be a testament as to who we are.

Some lies are being told about a good friend of mine, Kentucky State Representative Terri Branham Clark. Congresswoman Clark has represented our area in Frankfort with tenacity and spirit about the issues our area believes in. She stood by our teachers, stood by organized labor, and has always supported the Second Amendment.

Before believing the lies, check the votes its all public record. Lets not send an outsider to represent us. Lets send someone who believes how we do, because they were raised like we were. Vote Terri Branham Clark for state representative.

McConnell best vote for pro-lifer

Democrat Senatorial candidate Amy McGrath has clearly said she is "pro-choice" and that she supports a "woman's right to choose." She has carefully avoided a further explanation that those terms refer to abortion.

That point was well-made during the recent debate between McGrath and Senator Mitch McConnell, whom she is challenging for the U.S. Senate seat, when moderator Bill Bryant asked if she thought Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court Case in which abortion was legalized in all 50 states, could be overturned if Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed. McGrath did not answer the question directly but instead said, "Well, I'm Catholic. She went on to say that she is a mother of three and she wants to protect children. She avoided further discussion on abortion and whether or not unborn children should be protected also.

Larry Glover, a radio host of 590 WVLK, did not let her off the hook so easily when he pointedly pressed her on the life of the baby in the womb. Her answer clearly showed that she believes protecting the woman's "right to choose" is more important than protecting the life of the unborn child. She answered that "being Catholic only applies to what she can do with her own life not what others can do with theirs."

Glover pressed her on that when he asked, "So you think a woman on the way to the hospital to give birth could decide to abort it instead? She answered, "I don't think that government should be involved in a woman's right to choose."

That answer tells us that she would not even protect the smallest, most vulnerable member of the human race who has been shown on the ultrasound, trying to move away from the abortion knife. Senator Mitch McConnell will protect those babies!
