Sarah Palin, the current governor of Alaska, was just selected by John McCain to be his vice presidential running mate. Unlike Obama’s VP running mate (Joe Biden), Sarah Palin is a strong supporter of the right to keep and bear arms:
Sarah Palin’s statement in 2006 nicely sums up her gun rights stance: “I am a lifetime member of the NRA, I support our Constitutional right to bear arms and am a proponent of gun safety programs for Alaska’s youth.” Palin’s hobbies include hunting and fishing.
This should help put gun rights supporters at somewhat greater ease at the prospect of a McCain presidency. Given the extremely anti gun stance taken by Obama and Biden, the McCain/Palin ticket is certainly best option insofar as the issue of gun rights is concerned.
I love he chose not just somebody who hunts,but understands the true meaning of the 2nd Admendment.
WOW! I am a registered Democrat but I'm crossing the lines and will vote for Mr. McCain and Mrs. Palin. I, too, feel that she "gets it". Growing up in rural western Pa. I learned to hunt, fish, and play in the wild. I share Mrs. Palin sentiments about the world we live in. Protect yourself and your loved ones. Learn, practice, teach how to safely use and enjoy firearms. Way to go Mr. McCain. God Bless America.
