SCGOP&#8217;s platform supports the Second Amendment by stating, &#8220;We believe in the individual, constitutionally-protected right of the people to keep and bear arms for security and defense of self, family, others, property, or the state, as well as for other lawful purposes.&#8221; But Senator Graham has backstabbed both his party and gun owners by voting for this bill. Among other gun controls, this new law includes a federal bribe pot for Red Flag gun confiscation, a backdoor for Universal Background Registration Checks, and delays\/denials for young adults wanting to purchase firearms. Please hold Senator Graham accountable by following Horry County&#8217;s lead and censuring him.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gunowners.net\/cgi-bin\/ttx.cgi?cmd=newticket\">Please keep GOA updated on any actions you take.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thank you in advance for taking action.<\/p>\n<p>In liberty,<\/p>\n<p>Jordan Stein<br \/>\nSoutheast Region Director<br \/>\nGun Owners of America<\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunowners.org\/sc08172022\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Urge the Republican Party to Censure Lindsey Graham If you\u2019re a registered Republican, please urge the South Carolina Republican Party to censure Senator Lindsey Graham.
