The NRA is urging its six million members and other freedom-loving Americans to vote like their gun rights depend on it–because they do.
The NRA tweeted:
The Second Amendment is on the ballot. If you don’t vote, you are supporting the Bloomberg/Schumer/Pelosi EXTREME gun control agenda. It is that simple. #VOTE #2A #electionday[1][2][3]
— NRA (@NRA) November 6, 2018[4]
The NRA’s point is clear: the Second Amendment is in danger at state and federal levels if gun voters do not pour into the polls.
At the state level, Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams (D) has made clear that the outcome of her gun control plans could mean Georgians have to “turn their guns in[5].” Moreover, Abrams wants to add a three-day waiting period for gun purchases and universal background checks. She also wants to repeal campus carry, which is a law that allows concealed carry permit holders to keep their guns with them for self-defense on public college and university campuses.
On the federal level, Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) claims to be pro-gun, yet he voted against both of President Trump’s pro-Second Amendment Supreme Court nominees. Conversely, Tester voted for both of President Barack Obama’s anti-Second Amendment Supreme Court nominees.
Tester has a D rating from the NRA, whereas his challenger, Matt Rosendale (R), has an A rating.
Consider Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO). She has an F rating from the NRA and has made clear she wants universal background checks. Also, her staff admitted she is open[6] to a “semiautomatic rifle ban.” Her opponent, Josh Hawley (R), has an A rating from the NRA.
