Are Your Candidates Hiding Anti-Gun Views?
Dear fellow patriot,
“The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”
As ardent supporters of the Second Amendment, you and I know that these rights are absolutely critical to a free society.
With the primary season heating up here in South Carolina, virtually all politicians are claiming they support the Second Amendment.
Yet once safely elected into office, many of the politicians in BOTH parties vote to restrict your freedoms in a “common sense” way.
Just look at Florida, where 67 NRA “A-rated” Republicans voted for draconian “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation or even our own Senator Lindsey Graham who worked with Biden and DC Democrats to pass the largest federal expansion of gun control in 30 years.
In South Carolina, anti-gun groups have offered an award of $50,000 to candidates who challenge the most conservative, pro-gun members of the State House.
And there’s plenty of establishment-class candidates who are jumping at the chance for that money.
Additionally, leftist groups are gearing up to spend 1.5 MILLION dollars to spread lies and smear the reputations of lawmakers who led the charge to pass Constitutional Carry.
That’s why it’s so crucial for South Carolinians to know the truth about where their politicians stand on the Second Amendment!
To find out where your candidates truly stand, I sent them the official Palmetto Gun Rights Candidate Survey –- to get them on the record in support of your right to keep and bear arms.
And I’ve got bad news and good news for you in State House District 20.
The bad news is Republican candidate Allen Kellett returned his survey with anti-gun answers.
Sadly, Allen Kellett is going on record to support Illinois-style “Assault Weapons” Bans that could turn thousands of gun owners into criminals overnight[1].
If passed, this draconian measure would outlaw thousands of different firearms just for looking scary.
Firearms for sport shooting.
Firearms for hunting.
But most importantly firearms that could be used to stave off tyrannical governments.
Allen Kellett also refuses to support legislation repealing so-called “gun free” zones, also known as “criminal safe zones.[2]”
As every gun owner knows, these dangerous laws only disarm law-abiding citizens while letting criminals know that their victims will be disarmed in these areas.
It’s a sad state of affairs when South Carolinians can’t count on Republican candidates to stand strong on the Second Amendment.
But that’s not the only bad news I have for House District 28.
Candidates Kerri Smith, Daniel Rumfelt, and Troy Prosser have all REFUSED to even turn in their PGR Candidate Survey and go on the record for your gun rights.
In not returning their candidate surveys, Smith, Rumfelt, and Prosser refuse to go on record supporting legislation to criminalize federal agents who attempt to enforce unconstitutional infringements on the Second Amendment.
Smith, Rumfelt, and Prosser are also refusing to go on record in support of your right to legally “Stand Your Ground” and defend yourself and your family against armed thugs in the street.
Finally, Smith, Rumfelt, and Prosser also refuse to oppose dangerous “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation laws, which allow government agents to seize legally owned firearms without a hearing or even a crime being committed!
We’ve seen it time and again. When candidates try to keep their stance on the Second Amendment secret, it’s usually a very telling sign that they’re up to no good.
It appears Kerri Smith, Daniel Rumfelt, and Troy Prosser are doing just that by dodging our survey and refusing to stand up for your constitutional rights.
And when politicians refuse to take a stand on guns, you can be certain that the rest of your constitutional rights are not on their list of priorities either.
But there is good news in House District 28. Republican Representative Chris Huff filled out his PGR Candidate Survey 100% pro-gun!
By returning his survey, Huff went on record to fight Universal Background Checks, which would not only place an outright ban on private firearms sales but also implement a de facto gun registration scheme on South Carolina gun owners.
As you know, confiscation always follows registration.
Chris Huff also pledged his support for our state’s preemption laws that prevent local municipalities from passing their own gun control laws and create a patch work of different rules that could entrap otherwise law-abiding gun owners.
Finally, Huff pledged to protect South Carolina’s pro-gun Constitutional Carry law that prevents governments from forcing gun owners to jump through hoops to exercise their God-given right to carry.
Palmetto Gun Rights is dedicated to keeping you informed about the true positions of your elected officials and candidates.
With thousands of members and supporters across South Carolina, we are giving people across the Palmetto State a loud voice in defense of our gun rights.
And trust me, the politicians can hear you.
There is no better time to lobby them than when they are seeking your support at election time.
So, contact Allen Kellett at (864) 607-7444 and insist he reverse course on his anti-gun positions and start supporting your gun rights!
Also, don’t forget to contact Kerri Smith at (864) 419-2377, Daniel Rumfelt at (864) 923-9155 and Troy Prosser at (864) 714-6915 and insist they fill out their Palmetto Gun Rights candidate surveys and come clean on where they stand on your Second Amendment rights.
And finally, contact Chris Huff at (864) 304-8994 and thank him for answering his survey pro-gun and for taking a stand for our Second Amendment rights. Urge him to continue.
And once you’ve contacted your candidates, please consider donating $100 to Palmetto Gun Rights right away to help us expose even more anti-gun politicians in South Carolina.
Reaching enough people to hold anti-gun politicians accountable is an expensive task, but I’m sure you’ll agree it’s worth it.
So please consider giving at least $75 or $50 right away!
I understand for some that may still be too much to ask, but even $50 or $25 would go a long way in funding the mailers, texts, emails, and hard-hitting social media campaigns needed to put anti-gun politicians on notice.
Whatever you can afford, please know that I am grateful for your commitment to preserving our liberties for future generations.
Remember, politicians of all stripes are listening closely to gun owners with the primary election just around the corner.
With our rights at stake, now is the time to take action!
