John Kasich’s Betrayal of Gun Owners
BY Herschel Smith
4 years, 3 months ago
Kasich is the latest in a string of “Never Trump Republicans” to cast his lot with the Democrats, the very Party his past supporters donated money and labor to defeat at the polls. We’ve noted subversive efforts by groups like the Lincoln Project and watched prominent “neocons” like George Conway, Bill Kristol, and Carly Fiorina jump ship. We’ve seen “Big Tent Republicans” like Larry Hogan making no secret of abandoning what once was a Republican core constituency to move the GOP even further to the left. And just the other day, “conservative” columnist George Will announced he’s voting for Biden.
Funny that list. I’ve always felt that Kristol and Fiorina were sniveling lackeys, Kasich just a buffoon, and George Will a true creep. I’ve never liked any of them, and never found any to be a friend to gun owners.
Not that Kasich meant anything he promised to swindle gun owners into voting for him. Except he called infringements “reforms.” He came out against “Stand Your Ground” and even vetoed a gun bill that didn’t have it because it didn’t include “guilty until proven innocent” Red Flag seizures.
It’s always about red flag laws, isn’t it? You can have these pretend rights, but we want to be able to take them away for any reason we deem fit, and we’ll send the Stasi to do it.
It’s the same thing going on in Wyoming right now. Oh, the real news can get buried under the drama that the MSM whips up. But read on and make sure to read to the end. It’s all about pol support for red flag laws.

Add Texan and former Navy Seal Dan Crenshaw to the red fag list. I don’t get it.

Every day the controllers (of both parties) wake up to find their latest efforts haven’t kicked off the third revolutionary war they are emboldened to push their agenda further.

Wyoming Gun Owners could use a little extra coin, if anyone is able to. Thank you in advance.

Kasich was not a friend to gun owners before Trump got elected.
So what a minute. Trump supports Red Flag laws so how is a vote for any other candidate betrayal? The fact is no politician wants you armed. I’m not voting for Trump, does that make me a betrayer of gun owners?

Kasich has never been a friend to gun owners. He has always been a RINO’s RINO.

I remember President Trump sitting next to Senator Fine-shteen saying…
“First we’ll take the guns, then we’ll have due process”
Makes Kasich look like a damn piker…
