I had to do a little adjusting to my mass e-mail to pro-gun citizens. If you want to join the effort, just sign up as a member of Huck's Army and go to the post "Second Amendment E-Mail Campaign."
As someone with an invested interest in the unadulterated preservation of the Second Amendment, you are being told by the media that you have only one choice--John McCain--for President now that Mitt Romney has suspended his campaign. I respectfully beg to differ. Mike Huckabee is still in this race, and the differences between his record on the Second Amendment and John McCain's are quite substantial.
John McCain attempts to portray himself as a strong supporter of the Second Amendment, yet he and his "maverick" mentality have wandered into anti-gun territory multiple times, so much so that the Gun Owners of America gave him an "F" grade in 2004 and 2006 and called his record "Abysmal, wretched, and pathetic." GOA goes on to say that McCain supported "initiatives to severely regulate gun shows and register gun buyers"; he advocated laws that would require you to keep your guns locked up at home; and he introduced a compromise bill of gun show regulations. Furthermore, the restrictions McCain helped put on political free speech affect Second Amendment activists. In stark contrast stands Mike Huckabee, a consistent, adamant supporter of your constitutional right to keep and bear arms. He doesn’t have to hide any Second Amendment skeletons in his campaign closet, because he has none. The Gun Owners of America says that Huckabee "has proven himself to be a steadfast friend to gun owners and the Second Amendment."Who are you going to support? Will you vote for a candidate who talks the talk and walks the walk...today...but hasn’t always in the past? Or will you vote for the candidate who has persistently and consistently been a proponent and a protector of your right to protect yourself?
We could be headed to a brokered convention. Huckabee is suited well to the upcoming states holding primaries and caucuses, and, if he wins the majority, he will be propelled into the gargantuan contests of Ohio and Texas.
Don't settle for less than a true proponent of the Second Amendment!

While I fully understand the angst of Conservatives in their policy opposition to John McCain blunders like Illegal immigration, Conservatives are beginning to amaze me in their inability to see the larger picture.
Many talk radio hosts have battled a McCain nomination. Even Focus On The Family Director Dr. Dobson (who I admire ) has declared his refusal to vote for McCain. This astonishes me because it’s the same as saying “if I don’t get the conservative I want, I’ll let the country go to hell in a hand basket:” This, in my opinion is very naive and unthoughtful - since our children will be growing up in the aftermath of such a decision.
Anti McCain pundits and commentators such as Rush Limbaugh have ventured the idea that perhaps we should sit this election out and let the Dems have a term in office, claiming it might pave the way for a future shot at a candidate he and others will like in four years.
While I understand these expressions of dismay, I think it’s shortsighted. Imagine the damage our country will endure if Democrats control all three branches of government for 4 to 8 years. .
This would give liberals what they will treat as a clear sign from America that is it ready to move sharply to the left. Conservatism will lose most of it’s teeth and the liberal agenda could easily reverse all of the progress we’ve made in the war on terror, Tax reduction, Pro Life, and other extremely important issue.
We can always address the issue of immigration again in 4 years. What we cannot afford to see happen is a liberal agenda that makes illegal immigration the least of our country’s problems. Our country may be so torn up, it won’t have the time to even visit the issue, like we can today.
There is no such thing as a quick recovery from 4 years of liberalism unchecked. We may be facing what will take years and years of damage to undo. What’s more, there’s no guarantee that it WILL be undone. The passage of even one single liberal law is extremely difficult to outlaw - as if Roe V Wade hasn’t taught us this already!
Rush Limbaugh and others may revel in 4 years of liberal destruction as a talk radio host who can use the material, however all it takes is one liberal judge appointed to the Supreme Court to unravel the one ace we’ve achieved in the last 8 years. This doesn’t occur to me as a smart decision for Conservatives to be making..
As Evangelical Conservatives know, Pride commeth before the fall, and I hope they will study that verse before deciding to approach this election with dismay rather than enthusiasm.
Questioning McCain was right and highly useful for a time and a season. But there are greater threats looming on our horizon than John McCain.
It’s time to put our differences aside and get with the business assuring our children, they will not grow up in a socialist, liberally dominated world. This may be our cross roads, and it is certainly no time to be staying home on Election Day.

You make some good points, Danny. But I think that we need to keep pushing McCain to become more conservative. We need to keep pushing him to choose a very conservative VP (if he gets that opportunity). We need to keep pushing him so that he knows that he won't have our blind support, that he won't be able to push through his moderate-liberal agenda, that he won't have our backing if he decides to go all "maverick" on us.
Finally, I think that we need to continue to push for a better nominee. This is NOT over yet.
I think that the main concern among conservatives is that the Republic party will experience a shift, if we make our standard-bearer a moderate. That was part of my philosophy in that I would not vote for Rudy Giulani. A Giulani Presidency would serve to make abortion a non-issue--a non-priority or a non-essential for a Republican. I couldn't handle that.
McCain isn't as bad as that, but he's definitely not great.
After watching a local St. Louis television station’s interview of City Attorney John Hessel, I couldn’t help but think how he and other victims of Thursday night’s shooting tragedy in Kirkwood, Mo., might have fared better with the help of concealed firearms.
Among the 30 or so gathered in the Kirkwood City Hall meeting room that night, only one trained and qualified person — Officer Tom Ballman — carried a firearm. Had only one other trained person carried a firearm into the meeting that night, the number of dead and wounded might have been greatly reduced. Surprisingly, Kirkwood city laws don’t entirely prevent it!
