Did I get your attention? Good, I want to draw your attention to a critical situation developing. Yesterday the United States Supreme Court let stand Maryland’s ban on assault-style rifles, such as AR-15s, and high-capacity magazines. The decision leaves in place a ruling by the Fourth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals which ruled the state may constitutionally prohibit the sale and possession of these weapons. (see here)
Rulings like this will become more commonplace as we allow it to happen.
You’ve heard the phrase “elections have consequences.” This will be the consequence if gun owners continue to skip elections.
Following the 2024 Presidential election, records showed more than 370,000 legal gun owners in the state of Michigan were not even registered to vote. And it’s not just a local problem. More than 10 million hunters and gun owners across the country aren’t registered to vote. (here)
We must change this if we’re going to protect our Second Amendment rights. Electing President Trump was important should another opening on the Supreme Court happens in the next couple years. 2026 will be critical if we’re going to elect a Governor who will have the opportunity to appoint local judges who could rule on your gun rights. (here)
I’ve heard the argument “it’s just one vote, my vote doesn’t matter.” Every vote matters! There have been dozens of elections decided by one vote. (here)
In 2024, Democrat Elissa Slotkin beat Republican Mike Rogers for U.S. Senate by less than 20,000 votes. Just imagine what the outcome could have been if those 370,000 gun owners had registered and voted in this past election.
Now let me make it clear, please do NOT bring your weapons to the KGOP office. We are not collecting guns nor ammunition. I was trying to make a point here. If you care about your guns and your Second Amendment rights, you should also care about our elections.
The KGOP can help you register to vote. We will even help you vote for candidates that will protect our Second Amendment rights.
Also, sign up for the permanent absentee ballot list, ensuring you never miss a national, state or local election. Sign up for the “Permanent Mail Ballot List.” (here) Fill out this form and check the box in section 2 to join the “Permanent Mail Ballot List.” You can then email the form back to the Secretary of State, mail the form to your local clerk’s office or bring the form in person to your Clerk’s office.
