Oklahoma Pro RKBA gubernatorial candidates
I realize that Steve Largent got a good grade from the GOA as far as 2A issues go, but I thought I would share a response to a question I sent to the Gary Richardson campaign. Gary is a Tulsa attorney (former US attorney) running as an independent.
Here is my question:
And here is the response I got back within 72 hours (emphasis added by me):
Now I realize Steve Largent got the good GOA rating, but I don't think he was in congress long enough to have been in on many of the gun realted votes, so it's hard to tell. I was just wondering if anyone has heard such a candid pro RKBA position from nay of the other candidates involved. Kind of refreshing. Thoughts?
Edit: I just realized that in the quote above I "outed" myself on this forum as a registered Democrat...

Here is my question:
I am a registered Democrat who was going to vote for Mr. Largent.
After the Channel 9 debate, I decided to read the Richardson plan. I am
seriously considering changing over to Mr. Richardson, but I have a couple
questions:
1) What is Mr. Richardson's take on the 2nd amendment? I am not a hunter or
sportsman; I own guns for recreational shooting and personal protection. I
need to know if Gary will support *all* my civil rights.
And here is the response I got back within 72 hours (emphasis added by me):
Hey Jay,
Thank you so much for considering our vision for Oklahoma. My dad
absolutely opposes gun control! Like the old saying goes, if guns are
outlawed then only outlaws will have them. Dad also thinks that we should
review the laws that currently abridge our rights to bear arms to see if
they are accomplishing their goal. If they're not, then we should get rid
of them.
