Additionally, the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/10/17/upshot/times-siena-poll-likely-voters-crosstabs.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: blue; text-decoration: none;">New York Times reported</a> last month only 1% of likely voters thought <a href="https://www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=ale&ti=11093&pri=21153&pw=275597&mi=16393&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.guns.com%2F" target="_blank" rel="ugc" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: blue; text-decoration: none;">guns</a> were the most important problem.

The fact is, there were too many factors in play for pundits to make the claim people want more guncontrol. But there were many glaring cases in which pro-gunelected officials were rewarded for strong pro-gun actions.</em></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word; font-size: 19px; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; padding-left: 40px;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Every single governor who signed a Constitutional Carry law, which would allow people to carry a firearm without a permit, won re-election. Brian Kemp won Georgia, Chris Sununu won New Hampshire, Kim Reynolds won Iowa, Kevin Stitt won Oklahoma, Greg Abbott won Texas, and Ohio Governor Mike DeWine also won reelection. All of the aforementioned either signed Constitutional Carry Laws in their current term or a previous term. Additionally, although Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida did not sign Constitutional Carry, <a href="https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/politics/2022/05/01/desantis-constitutional-carry-become-florida-law/9602819002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: blue; text-decoration: none;">he called for such legislation</a> to be sent to him for his signature.

In addition, a Republican challenger to the State Senator representing the area, won the Uvalde area by more than 17% and boasts support for the <a href="https://www.garzafortxsenate.com/issues" target="_blank" rel="noopener" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: blue; text-decoration: none;">“constitutional right to carry”</a>on his website. …</em></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word; font-size: 19px; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; padding-left: 40px;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Declaring voters don’t care about their right to defend themselves because Republicans did worse than expected is a projection of desires rather than a report of facts. Many issues were on voters’ minds, but if appreciation for gun control was one of them, then that’s just clearly not reflected by the results.</em></p></div>—————————————————<br><br><div dir="ltr"><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Seeya 'round town, Moscow, because . . .</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"Moscow Cares" (the most fun you can have with your pants on)</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">http://www.MoscowCares.net</span></div><div><br></div><div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Tom Hansen</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Moscow, Idaho</span></div></div><div><br></div><div>“A stranger is just a friend you haven’t met.”</div><div>- Roy E.
