--- Quote from: AAllen on September 05, 2019, 09:26:25 PM ---At this point Matt's entire campaign is that Ben Sasse has not been a big Trump supporter, but last election cycle he was a Jane Raybould supporter. First glance has him looking like another Democrat running as a Republican saying what he thinks the Republican base wants to hear so he can get elected.

Thank you for this post. We always have to be on the look out for wolves in sheeps' clothing, especially in politics.
Actions speak louder than words.
It is also good to know that you are having face to face conversations with these representatives on our behalf. Thank you.

And thank you to all those others who make that extra effort to ensure gun owners' voices are not silent.

This information is from a NAGR (National Association for Gun Rights) postcard I received today.

The US Senate is considering “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation and Universal Gun Registration in September.  Call your Senators now to stop more gun control fom passing!

*** Deb Fischer at (202) 224-6551
*** Benjamin Sasse at (202) 224-4224

Tell them to oppose any and all gun control, especially:

*** “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation (including federal funding) AND

*** Universal Gun Rgistry (Including HR8 and the “Toomey-Manchin” bill)

or Text VOTENO to 67076

I just fired off (no pun intended) more e-mails but I didn't bother with the House of Representatives since that's a lost cause. Ain't much Smith can do.

I’ve contacted him and Jeff Fortenberry in the past and the is the first time I’ve gotten a reply from either. His answer is mostly good, against new gun control laws and concentrating on mental health instead. But if I read his reply correctly (parts of it are written in politician not English) it appears Ben would support red flag laws if he thought the bill adequately protected 2nd Amendment rights.

I was also disappointed that he didn’t address my question on the Senate reciprocity bill and why he isn’t a sponsor.

So for right now I’ll see if a true conservative runs against him in the primary. If he turns out to be the Republican candidate I’ll probably wind up voting for him because I think the Democrats will run a “progressive” (AKA socialist) candidate pushing “common sense gun laws” (AKA citizen disarmament).

I’ve given up on Fortenberry. I used to be in the 2nd district but a few years ago was gerrymandered into the 1st district. And just barely - across the street north from me is still 2nd district.

I followed up with Ben Sasse on the reciprocity bill. His reply was evasive at best and lots of it was boilerplate from his reply on Red Flag laws. I thought it was interesting that he said the reciprocity bill was being studied by the Senate Judiciary Committee but failed to mention he is a member of that committee. And did not commit to support it. I need to follow up with Matt Innis to get his views on concealed carry reciprocity.

“Thank you for reaching out to share your views on the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2019. We agree about the importance of protecting our rights under the Second Amendment, and I deeply appreciate and value the opportunity to hear and learn from Nebraskans.
 
 Defending responsible gun owners means defending the Constitution. The belief that government is not the author of our rights is the foundation of our Constitution. All of our rights, including the most basic right to self-defense, are intrinsic and inalienable. Our Founding Fathers considered our liberties so important that they specifically enumerated them in our Bill of Rights, and prominently listed the right to keep and bear arms.
 
 The Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2019 was introduced by Senator Cornyn in January 2019 and is currently being considered by the Senate Judiciary Committee. I will keep your support in mind as this bill moves through the legislative process.
 
 As we work to address the challenges facing our nation, I value and depend on your input. It is an honor to serve Nebraska, and I will keep working hard for our state.”

Benji is not known for giving a direct answer on anything.  He has to watch the "weather vane" for a while.   ;)
