Good to see folks know better.
Considering the ridiculous assertion by Wayne Schmidt in 2012 that he was a superior gun rights advocate with his deceptive bright orange mailer which stated: "Vote on August 7 to protect your gun rights"; with no candidate carrying anti gun views in competition at that time. The implication that voting for the challenger (myself) would imperil such rights was frankly, "Nutty"
Schmidt's progressive attitude with regard to big government, complete streets, expensive transportation schemes, expansion of welfare, and pandering to whomever is in power demonstrates a left of center (read: Democrat) socio-type, and should hardly leave anyone comfortable with him protecting such rights anyhow. And as for the gun positions, in 2012, he wasn't even rated by Michigan Coalition For Responsible Gun Owners like most other candidates.
So seeing the endorsements by these sportsmen and business leaders on this issue has a very receptive place in my heart.
