Did Republicans Just KILL Constitutional Carry Again?! Yesterday I drove down to the Capitol once again to press legislators to join the 27 other states who have passed Constitutional Carry.  After more than 2 weeks, Constitutional Carry, S. 109, was finally scheduled for a full committee hearing, on the same day Nebraska signed their bill into law.  While the vote would be close, the chances of passage had never been better. And that’s why Chairman Luke Rankin stepped in, attempting to KILL...

Senator Greg Hembree is LYING to Gun Owners! Your Senator Greg Hembree not only voted to KILL Constitutional Carry but LIED to his constituents about what he voted against. Even after this bill was debated for hours and plainly explained numerous times on the Senate floor, Hembree came up with an outrageous fabrication that Constitutional Carry will allow "criminals to carry guns just about anywhere they want." Call his office at (803) 212-6350 and tell him to STOP lying to his constituents,...

Setting the Record Straight on Constitutional Carry Gun owners have weak-kneed Republicans scrambling to cover up their anti-gun votes. Many of these politicians have touted their inflated ratings with the establishment gun lobby as proof for their dedication to the Second Amendment. But if you look at their voting records it paints a very different picture.  These weak-kneed Republicans are claiming “I voted for Constitutional Carry!” but they are not telling the full story of what really...

HD 97 Candidate Robby Robbins Refuses to Return Gun Rights Survey "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 House District 97 Special Election Primary on March 8th, 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...

With near supermajorities, Republicans remain obstinate to the demands of gun owners in SC.   Even after Senate Republicans secured a super-majority in the last election, they still refuse to muster the political courage to restore your gun rights. Last session, a largely "Republican" held body joined forces with Democrats to KILL Senator Shane Martin's Constitutional Carry amendment to H. 3094 by a vote of 25 to 21. Despite their rhetoric of "supporting the Second Amendment", NINE...

A battle is raging over the Senate District 31 election and along with it, your gun rights. Republican Senator Hugh Leatherman (a former Democrat, mind you) passed away, leaving his Senate seat up for grabs and the primary election is on January 25th. After FOUR decades of Leatherman blockading efforts to restore our gun rights, gun owners in this district have a solid opportunity to lobby their next Senator to fight for you. But only if you and I decide to make that difference. For 40 years,...
