Me, if I was running.
I'm to the right of Alan Gura.
But I'm not, so Mark Pukita is who you want.

I looked him up, looks like a solid choice. Mike Gibbons and Jane Timken are also pro gun. So is Josh Mandel.EricTheBald wrote:Me, if I was running.

Re: Who's the most progun candidate??
I don't trust Mandel as far as I can throw Chuck.
When I spoke to Gibbons at the PITP and asked him for specifics about what he planned to do if elected, he had NOTHING. How does someone run for office without having SOME kind of clue about what to do if they get elected?
Timken I don't know anything about.
I DO know that saying you're pro-gun means exactly jack squat to me. In fact, it's likely to make me suspicious about why you said pro-gun and not pro-2A.
AND, I want to hear WHY, and what it means to you.
I know that I can answer those questions immediately and in depth, so if you want my vote you better damn well be able to do the same. If you can't, I have the right to conclude that you're a RINO who is just trying to tell me what you think I want to hear.

What does the hive think about JD Vance? He talks a good line, but I can’t get over him thinking Trump was an idiot and talking about voting for Hillary in the 2016 election.

Re: Who's the most progun candidate??
I didn't think Trump was an idiot, but I couldn't vote for the Hildebeast in 2016. Trump was (nor is) a conservative, but he was a damn good president - he could have been better if he had kept his fingers off the phone, but being against him in the Republican primaries should not at all be a disqualifier. I'm still undecided in the Senate race though.marca wrote:What does the hive think about JD Vance?

J.D. Vance has explained his opposition by saying that he was wrong.
If Kay-Suck had given the same answer about the 1994 AWB, I wouldn't have needed to vote for Strickland.

If he was dumb enough to be wrong then, maybe he isn’t smart enough to be a good choice now.EricTheBald wrote:marca wrote:What does the hive think about JD Vance? He talks a good line, but I can’t get over him thinking Trump was an idiot and talking about voting for Hillary in the 2016 election.

Re: Who's the most progun candidate??
Marca,
That might be a valid argument, but no more so that someone admitting he was wrong about something he did in the past.
What led me to vote for Strickland over Kasich is that I had reached out through an important figure in the Ohio GOP, and pretty much provided the answer I wanted to hear. I INTENTIONALLY made the question as "softball" as I possibly could; and Kay-Suck STILL wouldn't answer.
Then he pulled that Dam Scam. His PLAN was to accelerate the construction to have Buckeye Lake open again for the GOP convention in 2016. The guy who owns Quickrete, and who lives on the North Shore, offered to fix the entire 4-mile length of the dam for $100,000. But Kay-Suck needed the kickbacks from the $100m - $150m build to finance his campaign, and the good publicity to sweep the convention.
Like the Spanish Inquisition, he just didn't see Trump coming.
I did, but I grew up in NY and had been watching Trump since the 70's.
I have a friend who is a Democrat, albeit one of the Old School "Blue Dog" or JFK type of Democrat.
He's not a fan of Trump, but I did get him to admit to one good thing that Trump did, which was RUINING Kay-Sucks plans.

I'm liking Josh Mandel, Marine, pro gun, very conservative. Google his bio

Re: Who's the most progun candidate??
Mandel was a Marine then a career politician. I am not a fan of those. He may be perfectly fine, but those don’t always work out too well.
I like Gibbons so far. It’s been a while since the PITP so I don’t remember how specific he was on things. I do remember that time seemed to be short and he had lots of people talking to him. I also left the party with a good impression of him.

Mandel's quest has always been the next rung on the ladder. Not for me...

Re: Who's the most progun candidate??
FYI, JD Vance is also a prior service Marine Corps veteran. Here's a link to an article he wrote in the Columbus dispatch describing his early firearms training and gun control concerns.
