Sharron Angle For Senate

Gun Owners of America endorses Sharron Angle in Nevada

Gun Owners of America Political Victory Fund is pleased to announce the endorsement of Sharron Angle for U.S. Senate .  Angle is running in a three-way primary for the right to take on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in November.

Sharron Angle is just the kind of “change” Washington needs right now.  Over her eight years in the Nevada legislature, Sharon stood 100% in favor of the Second Amendment and was a steadfast leader in protecting the constitutional liberties of all Nevadans.

Harry Reid, on the other hand, is trampling all over the Constitution.  In addition to pushing the massive, anti-gun Obamacare bill through the Senate, Reid has helped to secure the confirmations of President Obama’s left-wing radical nominees to the highest positions of power.

For instance, Sen. Reid voted to confirm Eric Holder to the position of Attorney General.  Holder was the point man for gun control initiatives such as the Brady bill and the semi-auto ban under President Clinton. 

Almost immediately after his confirmation, Holder called for the reinstatement of the Clinton gun ban.  Holder also coauthored an amicus brief to the Supreme Court arguing in favor of the complete gun ban in the District of Columbia. 

Sen. Reid secured the confirmation of Cass Sunstein as the new “regulatory czar,” despite the fact that Sunstein stated that he believes hunting should be banned.

The top legal advisor at the State Department, Harold Koh, also received Reid’s support.  Koh advocates bringing the U.S. into conformity with a draconian global gun control agenda.

And the newest Supreme Court Justice, Sonia Sotomayor, could not have advanced if Sen. Reid had objected.  Indeed, Sen. Reid voted for this anti-gun radical, who had ruled as an Appeals Court judge that a complete gun ban by a state would be constitutional.

As Majority Leader, Reid could have objected to any and all of these nominees and insisted that the president put forth men and women who respected the Second Amendment.

Sen. Reid also was the architect of the Senate’s passage of the anti-gun government takeover of health care.  For over a year, GOA had warned that a federal database of Americans’ medical records, accessible to the government gun police—the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE)—could lead to the disarming of innocent Americans.-[source]
