2018 AL Governor's race: on Gun Control


Walt Maddox: Refuses to comply with the NRA even if it costs him support

Maddox, released a letter he's written to the NRA, in response to the organization's questionnaire, saying he won't commit to any specific legislation in advance, even if it costs him support. Maddox wrote, "this process somehow implies that if I make a commitment on legislation that I would get your support. That strikes me as being the kind of quid pro quo agreement that has landed too many state leaders either in jail or out of office in recent years."
