Dave Wilson for gun safety

Sat., Sept. 29, 2018

The ballots will soon be coming out. I find myself deeply concerned that Jenny Graham supported (in my opinion) the militia-style gun rights activists strutting for needed attention at Franklin Park last month. With the increase in hate groups infiltrating our area, how can anyone be 100 percent certain those persons wallpapered with assault weapons are really safe and sane or possibly affiliated with hate groups? We can’t! Yet Jenny Graham stood by and supported them. Is Jenny Graham aligning herself with possible radical militia-style hate groups just to gain votes?

I am voting for Dave Wilson, as he supports “normal” sane gun ownership.
