To the editor:

Who will best protect our right to bear arms on the Executive Council? The answer is conservative Janet Stevens.

As a responsible firearm owner and advocate, I proudly stand with Stevens for Executive Council. Many candidates talk about their support for the Second Amendment, but when they get to Concord they take their sights off defending our constitutional right. Stevens will walk the walk.

She will stand with Gov. Chris Sununu in opposition to unconstitutional red flag laws. She supports constitutional carry. She supports New Hampshires stand your ground" law and our right to defend ourselves, our property and our families.

She will vote to appoint pro-Second Amendment judges. Lastly, she supports law and order.

Stevens will never defund our police.

Its unfortunate that one of Janets opponents, Bruce Crochetiere, supported red flag bills and stated in an interview with New Hampshire Public Radio, Its something that has to be done at a local level.

Sununu has vetoed two of these bills. Stevens will stand with the governor and support the Second Amendment.

Lets hold the line and defend our Second Amendment right by voting for Janet Stevens for Executive Council on Sept. 8th. She is the conservative ready to lead on Day One.

Letter: Stevens will defend Second Amendment on Executive Council - Eagle-Tribune

Fresh off his rousing success (or not) suing CNN and the Washington Post for grievously defaming Nicholas Sandmann, attorney Lin Wood has picked up (along with Pierce Bainbridge) another fine young man as a client: Kyle Rittenhouse, the Illinois teenager charged Thursday with homicide, reckless endangerment, and possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18 after shooting three people at protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin on Tuesday night.

Yesterday Wood released a bizarre statement describing Rittenhouse in absurdly glowing terms hes a lifeguard! a medic! civic minded and full of good will for his fellow man when hes not blowing giant bullet holes into them! and also previewing a bevy of strange defenses.

Kyle did nothing wrong, Wood wrote. He exercised his God-given, Constitutional, common law and statutory law right to self-defense.

As NBCs legal analyst, Danny Cevallos notes, the reference to Constitutional rights strongly implies that Wood intends to assert a Second Amendment defense to the charge of possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18. The Supreme Court has held that the right to bear arms is not absolute, and federal courts have affirmed the legality of prohibiting gun sales to persons under the age of 21, much less 18.

So arguing that Wisconsins arrest of a 17-year-old for wandering the streets with a loaded AR-15 strapped to his body violates the Constitution, much less Gods law, is probably a stretch. And speaking of stretching, its not entirely clear how a kid crossing state lines to deputize himself as a law enforcement officer, police the streets after curfew holding a gun he barely knows how to use (according to the charging documents), and then fire lethal rounds into an unarmed man qualifies him as a member of the well regulated militia for the purpose of the Second Amendment.

Mr. Wood will no doubt explain that after he gets through patting himself on the back for securing a 25-day continuance on his clients extradition hearing to the dreaded third-world nation of Wisconsin.

Kyle now has the best legal representation in the country. With help from Nicholas Sandmann attorney L. Lin Wood, Pierce Bainbridge and multiple top-tier criminal defense lawyers in Wisconsin immediately offered representation to Kyle.

Today, his legal team was successful in working with the public defender to obtain a several-week continuance of his extradition hearing to September 25th. This at least partially slows down the rush to judgment by a government and media that is determined to assassinate his character and destroy his life.

Twenty-five whole days! Wisconsin! Second Amendment! And lest we forget, God himself.

Lin Wood Argues Kenosha Shooting Was Justified By Second Amendment? - Above the Law

Portland Seattle Chicago New York City.

Scenes of rioting, looting, lawlessness and utter chaos in these once-great American cities have become commonplace on television news channels over the past several months.

Liberal Democrat mayors like Bill DeBlasio, Lori Lightfoot and Ted Wheeler have ceded control to mob rule, and Alabamians are joining millions across the country in asking when the violence will be brought to an end.

At the same time, these leftist politicians and many in the Hollywood elite are working to take away your Second Amendment gun rights while they remain safely protected behind heavily-armed security details.

Because the violent protesters, looters and rioters have no regard for human life or property, the ability to own a firearm if you choose is more important than ever before.

But when it comes to the issue of gun control, interim U.S. Senator Doug Jones chooses to stand with his fellow liberals like Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Nancy Pelosi and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rather than with the Alabama citizens he swore an oath to serve.

Those of us who embrace gun ownership for home protection, hunting, sport shooting and other reasons understand that Jones election to a full term poses perhaps the biggest threat to our rights in the history of our state, and there is ample evidence to prove that fact.

After receiving the National Rifle Associations lowest possible rating on the groups annual congressional scorecard, Jones attacked the NRA and accused it of holding extreme positions on firearms-related issues.

When members of the Alabama legislature introduced a bill to provide certain public school teachers with law enforcement firearms training and certification as a deterrent against school shootings, Jones called the proposal the dumbest idea I have ever heard.

And Jones has greedily raked in thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from far-left gun control groups and committed activists who are opposed to firearms possession.

At the same time, his advertisements have included photos and videos of a flannel-clad Jones awkwardly carrying a shotgun while stomping through the woods in an attempt to portray him as an outdoor enthusiast.

Ask yourself what kind of true outdoorsman receives the NRAs lowest rating alongside the most strident, anti-gun fanatics in the U.S. Congress.

Similarly, Joness record of voting to confirm conservative federal judges who will interpret the Second Amendment as our founding fathers intended has fallen short time and again, and he has cast his lot, instead, with those who celebrate Ruth Bader Ginsburg as the patron saint justice who is worthy of worship.

He famously opposed the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh and supported Senate liberals like Kamala Harris as they subjected the judge and his family to unprecedented levels of falsehoods, conjecture and character assassination.

In 2017, Jones also admitted to the Washington Post that he would have voted against Justice Neil Gorsuch had he been serving in the Senate at the time.

Coach Tommy Tuberville, on the other hand, will fight tooth and nail to protect the Second Amendment, and he will stand in the breach against liberal Democrats who attempt to grab out guns.

Unlike Doug Jones, Tuberville is a true and dedicated sportsman, and guns have been a part of his life since his father, a World War II veteran who drove a tank across Europe with General George Patton, first introduced him to hunting. Since that time, he has hunted for quail in the Wiregrass, shot white-tailed deer in Jackson County, and stalked prey on the large tract of hunting land that he owns in East Alabama.

Tuberville understands that gun ownership is a time-honored tradition in Alabama, and it is one that most who live here hold dear. Whether you want to possess a firearm for hunting or to protect your family when an intruder comes kicking at your door, Tuberville will stand strong for your right

It has often been said that the 2020 election is the most important in our lifetime, and that is no overstatement.

We are not just choosing between Tommy Tuberville and Doug Jones, but also between two distinct directions our nation will take pro-gun vs. anti-gun, pro-life vs. abortion, American excellence vs. globalism, law and order vs. mob rule, conservatism vs. liberalism, and the list goes on.

It is time for Alabamians to have a U.S. Senator who represents our conservative values, not liberal New York and California values, when it comes to gun rights and other issues.

I urge all Alabamians to join me in voting for Coach Tommy Tuberville, a proven winner and staunch defender of the Second Amendment, in the November 3 general election.

Clay Scofield is a Republican in the Alabama Senate representing District 9, which includes portions of Blount County, DeKalb County, Madison County and Marshall County.

Election of Doug Jones poses the biggest threat to the Second Amendment in Alabama history - Yellowhammer News

Its people violence! Why? Because, back in the early 1960s, prayer, the Bible and the Ten Commandments were removed from the public schools separation of church and state, which is nowhere in the U.S. Constitution. The intent of the First Amendment was to make sure we did not have a Church of the United States but rather to make sure all Christian churches were free to worship.

Christianity is a relationship with Jesus Christ. It is not a religion. The first five books of the Bible have guidelines for behavior starting with the Ten Commandments. We are told do and dont and why. Thou shalt not murder. Murder is the taking of the life of an innocent. No exceptions. Abortion: murder. Life begins at conception. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Marriage: the union of one man and one woman.

The Second Amendment is an acknowledgment of our right to defend ourselves, our homes, our families, our country. Rights come from God. Not man. To Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, et al.: If you wish to see the reason we the people have the need to exercise the right to keep and bear arms (auto, semi-auto, any size magazine), just go look in the mirror.

We are in deep need of a spiritual revival. We need, as individuals and as a nation, to turn to God and not away, as many would like us to do.

For those who find these words offensive: Your presence in this country is offensive. You are welcome to leave any time. The borders are wide open going out. Need help packing? We the people, we Americans, will gladly help.

Remember the three Bs. The Bible: Spend time in the Word. Beans: Keep extra food on hand. Bullets: Never too many, never enough.

Hoosier Governor To Defend The Second Amendment? Eric Holcomb, iStock-884171528

Indiana -(AmmoLand.com)-During a presidential year, it can be easy to overlook gubernatorial races. This can be very understandable the presidency is not for all of the marbles, but it can come pretty darn close in some areas. Governorships, though, have often been a launching pad for presidents and presidential nominees. Since 1976, four of the seven men who have held the Oval Office were governors.

That is why Indianas gubernatorial race is one Second Amendment supporters ought to keep an eye on. At the presidential level, Indiana has long been a reliable red state, save for Barack Obamas very narrow win of that state in 2008. The governorship was a somewhat different story. From 1989-2005, it was held by Democrats. Evan Bayh used the governorship to win two terms in the United States Senate, and Joe Donnelly won one term in 2012.

The current incumbent, Eric Holcomb, is running for re-election. In one sense, Holcomb is an accidental governor he was a last-minute replacement on the 2016 ballot because then-Indiana governor Mike Pence halted his re-election bid to be Donald Trumps running mate. Hed been Pences lieutenant governor for roughly six months, having suspended a Senate campaign (later won by Todd Young) to take that office. Prior to becoming lieutenant governor, hed been a staff member for both federal lawmakers and was Deputy Chief of Staff for Mitch Daniels. He also was chairman of the Indiana Republican Party.

While Indiana has always been respectful of our Second Amendment rights, Holcomb measurably improved the situation there by signing legislation that eliminated carry permit fees. Not only that, during the pandemic, he took steps to ensure that people could still exercise their Second Amendment rights. Consider, as a contrast, the actions of Roy Cooper, another governor up for re-election.

A pro-Second Amendment governor in Indiana is more important than you might think. With the high crime rates in Chicago, that states respect for the Second Amendment is often a scapegoat see Lori Lightfoot in 2019 and 2020 used by politicians to deflect blame for a failure to address crime. Of course, they also ignore a number of federal laws that can put someone who ran guns from Indiana to Chicago away for a very long time (one hypothetical puts a bad guy away for over a thousand years).

Holcomb is facing Woody Myers, whose campaign site indicates a likelihood he will join Lightfoot in seeking to punish Indiana residents for crimes committed in Chicago. As such, Second Amendment supporters need to get to work. Holcombs campaign site is here. They should also donate to the National Rifle Associations Political Victory Fund to help pro-Second Amendment candidates at all levels.
