[Vision2020] Poll Shows Leads for Democrats

[Joe Campbell]

Gary,

I guess I don't understand the need to pass a law that suggests that there be "no restrictions" on "LAWFUL" uses of firearms or anything else. 

What good did the legislation do, anyway, besides waste a lot of time and give you some non-issue to talk about this election season? 

This is not a rhetorical question. I want to know, according to you and Roger Fallen, what purpose this law is intended to serve? Was there ever a situation in which the state imposed such restrictions? I don’t see it.

I'm voting for Shirley Ringo and I encourage everyone who is not influenced by fear-driven rhetoric to do the same!

Shirley said yesterday on vision 2020 that she had never voted to confiscate 
guns. That she supports your right to hunt.

She voted against a bill originating in the Senate  SENT BILL NO. 1401 2006 
which amends existing law relating to emergency powers to provide that no 
restrictions shall be imposed on lawful uses of firearms or ammunition 
during a disaster emergency.
Being able to defend yourself against marauders during a disaster is even 
more important than being able to hunt.

Anyone who cares about the second and fourth amendments and is even a little 
bit framiliar with the travisty that occoured in New Orleans should be 
outraged by Ms. Ringo's vote on this bill. The idea of having government 
officals barge their way into your home sans warrent and forcably seize your 
legaly owned firearms without recourse or compensation should be a nightmare 
for any citizen who cares even a little bit about the constitution and 
personel freedom. During an emergency of the magnitude of Katrina, one might 
reasonably expect law enforcement personel to be preocupied with rescue 
operations and that one would be on their own when it comes to defending 
your loved ones and property. The idea that those same officers should be 
harassing law abiding citizens instead of performing more usefull work is 
outragous. The fact that Ms. Ringo not only doesn't realize this but totally 
mischaricterizes the right to bear arms to be about hunting is enough for me 
to question her fitness to represent my interests. With this in mind, I'll 
be voting for Roger Fallen and I urge everyone else to join me in this.
There is no question but what Mr. Fallen has a better understanding of the 
concerns of firearms owners and Idaho voters in general.
