2022 NE Governor's race: on Gun Control


Brett Lindstrom: Citizens have a right to own firearms and defend themselves

As an avid hunter and gun owner who believes that "shall not be infringed" means exactly what it says, Brett believes that citizens have a right to own firearms and defend themselves with them. As Governor of Nebraska, Brett will ensure the radical left comes nowhere near your constitutional right to keep and bear arms.

Jim Pillen: Don't allow anyone to suspend our Second Amendment rights

I support the constitutional right of every law-abiding citizen to defend themselves, and their families. Gun control measures pushed by the left falsely assume criminals will obey gun laws. The radical left will never be satisfied with an assault weapons ban, they are already advocating gun confiscation. I oppose their gun-grabbing agenda, even when it is put forward by a different name, like "red-flag law." We should never give anyone the right to suspend our Second Amendment rights.
