You can be sure that gun voters are taking notice. <\/p>\n<p> Ultimately, I am writing to demand that you immediately discard any ideas about making a deal with anti-gun activists, regardless of what Ted Davis might get out of the deal. If there isn\u2019t a loud statement from you denouncing H86 and assuring voters that you will not sell them out on the Second Amendment, you can be sure that gun owners like me will be voting in the Primary Election, and it won\u2019t be for you. In fact, due to such a bold anti-gun move, I can envision an all-out blitz to replace an anti-gun Republican with one that adheres to the Party Platform on this matter. <\/p>\n<p> Do the right thing, Mr. Davis. Denounce gun grabbers like those in the NCGV, denounce any thoughts of working to move H86, and assure voters that you will stand for gun rights moving forward\u2014and then do it.
