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 Governor’s 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/

That should do it.

Askins is not my candidate, and neither is Fallin. And I won't let a blog determine my vote.

Harry Reid got an A from NRA, did he not? So how do you trust the NRA ratings?

That should do it.

Do what? It convinces me of nothing.

I think that is a big factor in alot of people's vote. I am not telling you how to vote. Gun-control issues has alot to do with mine.

Gun control issues are big for me too, but when some one so easily violates the constitution in other areas, it leaves me with no confidence they will support the 2A when the heat is on.

I know what you are saying. That is why I said "I" feel like I just have to pick the best of the two choices. Fallin is not who I wanted, but I think Askins will go along with Obama on everything. I think at this point even the people who supported Obama has seen that the constitution means nothing to him. I think Fallin will stand stronger against him. I am sure she will do things I don't like. They all do. I do think it is a joke that they are running her as a conservative.

I agree.

 

[Biggsly]

I don't think Fallin is a conservative and Askins is not even close. I think one is a career republican and the other is a career democrat. Both are looking to move on up with there careers.

 

[Shadowrider]

I'm not voting for Askins. I'm voting against Fallin and I want her to know why. What Askins "would have done" is irrelevant.
Never is a big word. When you use it in this context it shows you're speaking from emotion and not reason. It kills your comments.

I'm confused....

I think you are correct. I just wish we had another choice but since we don't I would much rather have someone that will not veto another shot at the open carry and I think that is Fallin.
