Letter to the Editor: Second Amendment rights

I saw a recent post of Christina Bohannan at a staged photo shoot, where she pretends to be a supporter of the Second Amendment. I’m reminded of a recent video where Kamala Harris talked about taking away guns at one of her rallies. Let’s not forget our Constitutional right to bear arms as given by the Second Amendment.

Christina Bohannan has earned an “F” rating from the NRA Political Victory Fund. She supports radical gun control measures that undermine the rights of law-abiding citizens. This awful rating is indicative of her position against the fundamental rights of Iowans to defend themselves. She supports policies that would make it harder for responsible gun owners to exercise their Second Amendment rights. She favors increasing restrictions and gun confiscation measures.

I’ve seen Congresswoman Miller-Meeks stand up for Iowans’ rights to self-defense. She supported Right-to-Carry Reciprocity legislation, which ensures that law-abiding gun owners can carry concealed firearms for personal protection across state lines. She opposed schemes for gun control such as red flag laws that allow the government to confiscate firearms without due process, and she has voted against the Biden-Harris agenda to ban lawfully owned firearms and impose federal gun purchase waiting periods.

Christiana Bohannan supports policies that jeopardize our right to self defense and public safety. Congresswoman Miller-Meeks has always supported our constitutional freedoms and opposed radical gun control. Iowa’s First District deserves representation in Congress that will stand up for law-abiding citizens rights to protect their families.

I urge First District voters to support Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks in the 2024 election. She has a proven track record of defending our Second Amendment rights.
