Jane Timken: I own guns; I'll fight for your right to do the same

Keeping the right to bear arms. Frederick Douglass said: "Our rights rest in three boxes. The ballot-box, the jury-box, and the cartridge-box." I own guns, and I'll always fight for your Constitutional right to do the same. "Shall not be infringed" means shall not be infringed, and as your Senator, I will fight to stop Democrats' unconstitutional push to take away our Second Amendment rights.

JD Vance: I will fight the gun grabbers punishing law-abiding citizens

Joe Biden and anti-democracy multinational companies are trying to find new ways to take guns away from law-abiding citizens. They're making it harder to buy firearms and ammunition, and imposing new, unconstitutional regulations on American citizens. I will fight the gun grabbers, whether they're federal bureaucrats enacting regulations or multinational companies punishing people for exercising their rights.

Matt Dolan: Liberals will stop at nothing to grab our guns

Having the same, one-size-fits-all gun laws apply to New Yorkers, Ohioans and Texans is nuts. It's an invasion of rights and liberties explicitly afforded by the Constitution. Liberals will stop at nothing to grab our guns. In the U.S. Senate, just as I did in Ohio, I will work with local law enforcement to ensure not only safe homes, schools and communities, but also iron-clad protections of our Second Amendment rights and the honor and traditions we hold dear.

Dolan co-sponsored the Castle Doctrine giving Ohioans the right to self-defense in their own home.
Dolan regularly voted for pro-Second Amendment bills, including expanding an individual's right to bear arms and state preemption of local firearm regulations.
Dolan helped establish the apprentice hunting license.
Dolan voted to keep firearm dealers open during pandemic-related shutdowns.
Dolan co-sponsored legislation that expands and updates concealed carry license rules for veterans.
