Are You Registered To Vote?

By Chris Chumita

One of the things that make America great is that we can elect candidates to represent us, our morals, and our beliefs. Voting takes very little effort and may be one of the most important things we can do to support our Second Amendment rights. It is our opportunity to elect pro-gun candidates who in return will help pass pro-gun legislation.

This year we are fortunate to have several pro-gun candidates running and will not be forced to make a “lesser of two evils” decision when it comes to Second Amendment issues in many races.

The only way that we can ensure victory is to have a large turn out on Election Day. In order to do that, we must encourage every gun owner to vote. Those that are not yet registered to vote must be encouraged to take the time and become involved in the most basic function of the political process. It comes down to numbers; the side with the best turn out on Election Day wins. For the skeptics and naysayers that feel their vote will not make a difference, we only have to look back at the November 2004 election to see how important voter turn out really is.

Let’s be equally clear. Gregory’s nose was out of joint because he and his colleagues didn’t get to breathlessly blitz the airwaves with the first report of the shooting. In news parlance, they were scooped by a local reporter who undoubtedly takes home a far smaller paycheck than they do, and they didn’t like it.
