I'm still lost on who to vote for. Thibidoux's website doesn't even mention the 2nd Amendment on her "Where she stands on the Issues" page They all just seem like people I don't want to even know, let alone vote for.
GreggL:
I'm glad to see I am not the only one undecided on who to vote for.

No, were not.
We are talking about supposed incidents that took place several years ago and was so "upsetting" the victims decided not to report the abuse to the police. So why wait till now to report it, just a couple weeks before the primary, and still hide behind anonymity?
Because if they file a report and a prosecution takes place then the accused has a right to cross examine the accuser. Otherwise, it just another Kangaroo court of public opinion.
This tactic follows a standard pattern used several times over the last decade to destroy a person's reputation so that they appear unacceptable to do <something>:
"For the crime of being accused of <something> you are hereby doxxed, fired from your job, and forever forbidden from running for public office, etc."
I'm not voting for Hubster, but he doesn't deserve this hatchet job just before the primaries. How convenient for his opponents.
I'm not voting for Pillen either. He's been on the Univ Nebraska Board of Regents for 10 years and only started acting conservative last July when he began running for Gov. During that time Marxist have essentially taken control of campus student politics and the results are obvious. Even the faculty and adjuncts attack Pro-Life booths on campus. Pillen has no record of doing anything to stop this egregious behavior.
I got an email from Gov Ricketts today bemoaning the failure of the Constitutional Carry Bill to be passed by the unicameral. It's obvious he is planning on running for Congress or the Senate.

Unfinished Business: Enhancing Nebraska’s Commitment to Protecting Second Amendment Rights
05/03/2022 01:41 PM CDT
Nebraskans have long been strong supporters of the right to keep and bear arms. Nearly 85 years after it was enshrined in the Second Amendment at the federal level, Nebraska’s leaders chose to make our stance on gun rights crystal clear. Article I of the Nebraska Constitution proclaims that “the right to keep and bear arms for security or defense of self, family, home, and others, and for lawful common defense, hunting, recreational use, and all other lawful purposes...shall not be denied or infringed by the state or any subdivision thereof.” This should serve as the exclamation point on where Nebraska stands in its commitment to constitutional gun rights.

I'm voting for Breland Ridenour. I believe he will do better than Ricketts lip-service to the 2A.

The good news is that now they'll both have to testify under oath.
GreggL:
After doing some more research I'll be voting for Breland Ridenour in the Primary.
From the Issues page of his website:
2nd AMENDMENT
The right to keep and bear arms was settled in 1791 with the adoption of the Second Amendment. I am a very strong advocate for, not only maintaining our constitutional right, but working to regain what has already been taken. I am a full believer that "an armed society, is a polite society."
As a proponent for Constitutional Carry, I believe permits are infringement on our rights. Nebraskans have a full right to protect themselves without having to wait for government "approval".
Seems like the strongest 2A Proponent of the lot.
