response to Gary’s question. Many of my family members enjoy
hunting and own guns. From my perspective, however, an

<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Gary
Crabtree has requested a discussion from me concerning my low rating from the
National Rifle Association. It’s interesting to me that Mr.
Crabtree did not attend any of the forums, nor take the time to submit a
question during the KRFP interview. I am also uncomfortable with his
vitriolic comments towards people with whom he disagrees politically.
After asking me to respond, he brands my answer “rhetoric” in
advance.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:10.0pt'>However,
he has raised an issue about which some of you may be curious, so I will give a
candid response. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:10.0pt'>I have
many friends who are sportsmen, belong to the NRA, and enjoy their
publications. I think the organization provides a service that people
appreciate. I also think that, at times, their political action wing has
been over the top. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:10.0pt'>This is
a powerful lobbying group in the Idaho Legislature. Many legislators just
produce the votes the NRA requests because of its powerful influence.
During my service in the Legislature, I have not always voted according to
their wishes. I have listened to constituents who have contacted
me. I have contacted attorneys to determine whether the legislation was
deemed necessary by them. After weighing all information, I vote
according to what seems most responsible, and I never take this lightly.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:10.0pt'>Gun
safety is very important to me. In the most recent session, the majority
passed legislation stipulating that firearms manufactured exclusively in Idaho
would be exempt from federal regulations. I think that is dangerous and
irresponsible. Our Attorney General said it was likely
unconstitutional. My vote was one of the few against that legislation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:10.0pt'>During
my five terms in the legislature, I have not introduced legislation that would
threaten anybody’s second amendment rights. I have none
planned. Nobody enjoys a low rating from a political action group, and we
should always listen to all sides of an issue before voting. But our
legislative decision-making should not be driven by a desire for high ratings. <o:p></o:p></p>
