Presidential Candidate Civil Rights Guide - 2nd Amendment

[Mexican_Hippie]

Hi Guys and Girls. This is not meant to be a political discussion in any way. I just wanted to pull in what the presidential candidates are saying as well as 3rd party comparisons in one spot for your convenience. Most resources below have ratings for local and Federal congressmen/women as well.

Please, for the love of all that is holy (and unholy for some of you - you know who you are ), don't turn this into a heated political discussion. This is only meant to be an index where you can find a variety information given all of the up coming elections. If you're only getting your info from one source then you may not have a complete view of a given candidates stance. Please do add if there are any additional resources with good comparisons on their stances or ratings by 2A organizations.

Presidential Nominee Candidate Sites

Mitt Romney: Gun Rights

Barack Obama: Barack Obama (No 2A page,but here's his site)
Lee Wrights: Lee Wrights for President 2012 Self-Defense | Lee Wrights for President 2012 (Just one of over a dozen Libertarian candidates)

So many other presidential candidates here that it wore me out (including the "Naked Cowboy"), but this has links to their sites. Includes ALL known parties. 2012 Presidential Candidates (P2012)

Does this exist? I couldn't find it.


Who else provides candidate ratings on 2A? Please help contribute and don't post unless it's a resource or correction.

FWIW, Obama was on the board of directors of the Joyce Foundation. You want to go down the anti-gun rabbit hole, start taking a close look at Joyce.

I appreciate the links provided. Thank you.

Also, I don't think Brady rates candidates. That might cost them their tax-exempt status.

That's right. A tax-exempt hate group. Wonderful, isn't it?

Thanks, y'all. I was out of pocket this weekend, but looking to update this week. I know the NRA has archived ratings, I just have to find them.
