So if Askins had an R after her name you would vote for her?
Askins would never have an "R" after her name because those on the left find personal freedom repugnant. Your question is not an apples to apples comparison. Believe this... Askins is going to fall in with the DNC and do as she is told, with respect to falling in lock step with Obama's policies. Look what Henry did! We all thought he was a benign dumb ass but he shot sharply to the left when he entered his lame duck term. He wants what all ex governors want, a trip to and a gig in Washington. That's where you get rich. Askins is the same. You're an adult, vote how you want. Just don't complain here that she veto's every pro gun and anti illegal immigration piece of legislation that comes out of the State House and Senate...
If she would put it into writing that she wouldn't try to screw us over on 2a stuff..................she would have my vote. And I'm not just talking about a page on the internet, but am talking about if there was some way to make her sign a legally binding contract that she wouldn't be another democrat flake that was more concerned about "what was for our own good" and actually give us what we ask for...............
You might want to recheck how Republicans find personal freedom.
You didn't answer the question.
What has Fallin ever done for the security of the 2A?
Did Fallin do that for you?

2nd Amendment in Oklahoma Governor's Race -- Cong Fallin versus Lt Gov Askins
As many voters around the Country understand, Oklahoma is a very pro-2nd amendment state. ...
... With that in mind, imagine the shock to learn this morning that Jari Askins, the Democrat nominee for Governor, is against concealed carry and believes we need to "change our values?"
As a member of the OK House, Jari Askins was one of only 5 representatives to vote against a concealed-carry gun rights bills. According to the Oklahoman she said "she believes a change in values is needed to reduce crime, and allowing concealed weapons would not accomplish that." So basically, when it comes to gun rights, Jari was one of the 5 most anti-gun candidates in the Oklahoma House. She thinks we need to "change our values" rather than respect the Second Amendment.
Compare that to Mary Fallin who has an "A" rating from the NRA and supports both concealed and open carry laws. Mary also hosted the Lieutenant Governors Invitational Turkey Hunt while she was Lt Governor.
The 2nd amendment is so important to the vast majority of Oklahomans no matter their party, that we have a tough time believing when people learn the truth about Askins stance on concealed carry that she will get much support from Oklahoma voters.
This should be a red flag to every Oklahoma voter that Jari Askins stance on guns rights puts her in the same category as the California liberals who don't believe citizens have a right to bear arms. The political correctness that you can "change our values" of criminals and gang members could get members of the community killed. Concealed and open carry are a deterrent to crime -- shame Jari Askins doesn't understand that fact.
While you're at it, Bob, do a little reading about your candidate... http://liberaljari.com/
If it hits the fan in this country, I'd rather have Fallin in charge of the militia than Askins. Come to think of it, would Askins even call up the militia to defend the state?
