Voting to Kill

It was utterly shameful.

Representative Kevin McCabe, the freshman representative from Big Lake (R), voted against your 2nd Amendment rights this spring.

Rep. McCabe and his cohorts voting to table(kill) pro-2nd Amendment language

He joined in with a bunch of anti-gun democrats and RINOs, to vote to kill (table) a pro-2A amendment to the State’s budget.

This amendment would prevent the University of Alaska from enforcing so-called “gun-free” zones on the campus, thus not allowing “Campus Carry”, and continuing to enforce “Criminal Safety Zones” on campus.

This is a deep betrayal of his oath to protect and defend YOUR 2nd Amendment rights.

To add insult to injury, he completely broke his word that he gave to our members to support the anti-red flag act (House Bill 152).

Not only did he refuse to support it, as he promised on his candidate survey he would, he actually worked to undermine and oppose it actively on the House Floor!

His collaboration with the anti-gun zealots was a betrayal of the highest order.

What is even more bizarre, is that he still claims to be pro-gun!

Nearly immediately (two days) after the vote, he was shouting at our members at a gun show in Big Lake, claiming that we were lying.

The votes don’t lie Kevin.

He was the only member of the Mat-Su Valley’s representation in Juneau to vote yes to table/kill the amendment which would have allowed Campus Carry.

He seems to be completely detached from the reality of his actions and votes.

Please add your name to those calling him to accountability here.

If Mr. McCabe has an ounce of integrity left, he should resign.

Stalwart Defender of the 2nd Amendment

Representative Eastman is a stalwart Defender of the 2nd Amendment.

He has voted to protect Gun Rights at every opportunity, without compromising to the demands of anti-gun extremists.

He has sponsored and co-sponsored pro-gun legislation throughout his tenure in office.

He is endorsed by the NRA, the National Association for Gun Rights, the Alaska Outdoor Council, and Alaska Gun Rights!

Vote for a proven Pro-Gun Champion!

Fire Grier!

Grier is running from his bad record against Gun Rights!

He has consistently betrayed the 2nd Amendment during his tenure in office.

Co-Sponsored Red-Flag Gun Confiscation: HB122

(Then Flip-Flopped, when he started running for re-election, and withdrew his co-sponsorship)

Voted to put ANTI-Gun radicals in charge of the House in 2019 and 2021.

He has repeatedly voted against Pro-Gun Budget Amendments:
Amendment 30 to HB69 and Amendment 37 to HB69 and Amendment 46 to HB281

You can take additional action by calling him out for his bad behavior on our Wall of Shame Action page here.

Frank Tomaszewski has returned his Alaska Gun Rights Survey 100% Pro-Gun!

UPDATE

As of May 2023, Frank Tomaszewski has since betrayed the 2nd Amendment and your gun rights, by voting to allow government to shut down gun stores. You can see more details at this Wall of Shame page here.

Tim Flip-Flops on Gun Rights

Of course it’s election season and he’s trying to spin spin spin… and misdirection.

Assemblymember Hale, voted for the anti-gun range ordinance repeatedly (before he voted to repeal it).

He voted to back Vern Halter’s shenanigans, when he “vetoed” the repeal initially, and he voted to sustain his “veto”. https://matanuska.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=4330255&GUID=A19BACC9-D40C-4AA9-9BF3-DDC3AAD7F24C

Only because he has felt the heat of the grassroots holding him accountable, has he attempted to change his tune, after seeing his co-conspirators lose their own elections last year, and the repeal of the anti-gun range ordinance was inevitable.

He’s attempting to placate and spin the people.

One vote against the 2nd Amendment is one vote too many!

Stephanie Flip Flops on Gun Rights

Of course it’s election season and she’s trying to spin spin spin… and misdirection.

Assemblymember Nowers, voted for the anti-gun range ordinance repeatedly (before she voted to repeal it).

She voted to back Vern Halter’s shenanigans, when he “vetoed” the repeal initially, and she voted to sustain his “veto”. https://matanuska.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=4330255&GUID=A19BACC9-D40C-4AA9-9BF3-DDC3AAD7F24C

Wall of Shame: Interior Alaska House Representatives

The anti-gun extremists are mobilizing. They are scheming to take your rights away by hook or crook.

This spring we saw a bunch of weak-kneed RINOs join in with them, voting to kill (table) a pro-2A amendment to the State’s budget.

All of the names in Green, voted to kill (table) the amendment.

This amendment would prevent the University of Alaska from enforcing so-called “gun-free” zones on campus, thus not allowing “Campus Carry”, and continuing to enforce “Criminal Safety Zones” on campus.

This is a betrayal of their oaths to protect and defend YOUR 2nd Amendment rights.

Interior State House Representatives that voted to attack your rights are: Steve Thompson, Mike Prax, Mike Cronk, Adam Wool, Grier Hopkins, and Bart LeBon.

You can send these State House Representatives (who are supposed to defend your rights, and not attack them), a pre-written email here.

Victory! Tyrannical 2nd Amendment Suppression OVERTURNED!

Alaskans like you who are committed to no-compromise gun rights demanded the full repeal of the tyrannical gun range ordinance, and were rewarded with a unanimous vote to fully repeal the Mat-Su Borough’s tyrannical overreach and suppression of our 2nd Amendment rights.

There were 2nd Amendment advocates and speakers demanding the full repeal, and Alaska Gun Rights:

  • Organized calls and emails demanding full repeal.
  • Recruited 2nd Amendment enthusiasts to attend and speak.
  • Educated and mobilized the pro-gun constituents to hold their Assemblymembers accountable.
  • Kept the pressure on the Assembly to bring a full repeal.
  • Delivered well over a THOUSAND petitions demanding full repeal!
(Delivering your petitions to the Borough Assembly)

And you’ve been with us every step of the way – THANK YOU!

But the work isn’t done. We went to Fairbanks this past weekend to get the word out about two dangerous bills introduced in the Alaska Legislature:

  • Adam Wool and Steve Thompson’s dangerous “Home Invasion Incentive Act,” HB 203.
  • Geran Tarr and Harriet Drummond’s radical “Red Flag” gun confiscation bill, HB 122.

You stood up and defended your gun rights on Tuesday night, and we won a critical victory.

Let’s keep taking the fight to the enemy and make sure our 2ndAmendment rights are never suppressed by anti-gun extremists again.

Repeal Mat-Su Borough Anti-Gun Range Red-Tape Ordinance Tuesday

The repeal of the Anti-gun Range Red-Tape ordinance is on the agenda for Tuesday’s Mat-Su Assembly meeting… AND the Mat-Su Assembly needs to hear from you!

Time to stand up and make your voice be heard in defense of your right to keep and bear arms!

SHOW UP 6pm Tuesday, at 350 E. Dahlia Ave., Palmer, AK 99645, and offer your testimony in support of the repeal when it is time on the agenda.

If you can’t make it in person, call in at 855-225-2326, and offer your testimony over the phone.

(When the Mayor announces audience participation or a public hearing you would like to speak to, press *3; you will hear “Your hand has been raised.” When it is your turn to testify you will hear “Your line has been unmuted.” State your name for the record, spell your last name, and provide your testimony.)

We need more gun ranges built to increase the safe handling and training of future hunters, marksmen and firearm enthusiasts. Not less.

When we repeal the red-tape range restrictions at the borough level, one of the many hurdles that gun ranges have to jump through to become a reality, is removed.

Repealing this red tape will also protect the existing gun ranges from being strangled out of existence in the future!

Demand that MSB 17.68 be entirely repealed. No amendments. Total repeal.

You can make a difference in reclaiming rights that should never have been lost, to begin with.

This is a significant step towards reclaiming your rights and the repeal of the Anti-gun Range Red-Tape ordinance.

Politicians are on notice and we won’t stand idly by while they try and steal our rights!

Make your voice heard on Tuesday – show up, and protect your right to keep, bear, and shoot your guns here in the Mat-Su!

And bring your range buddies with you on Tuesday night!

Thank you!

PS: If you’re able, could you chip in a generous contribution of $10, $25, or $50, to help us to keep fighting against the gun-grabbers and their schemes?
