Buckeye Firearms Association Endorses Sarah Palin for Vice President of the United States

Buckeye Firearms Association is proud to make its first-ever endorsement in a Presidential race, and announces the endorsement of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin for Vice President of the United States.

Sarah Palin is more familiar with the Second Amendment issues important to average American gun owners than any Vice Presidential (or Presidential) candidate in decades.

She doesn't wear gun rights on her sleeve, but is a citizen for whom guns are a natural and unremarkable part of life and tradition. She is an example of the ordinary gun owner in America.

Palin understands the simple truth that people commit crimes, while guns, knives and hammers do not, and thus such objects should not be banned or overly restricted.

She understands the Second Amendment protects the individual right to bear arms, and that the primary necessity for private firearms ownership is for personal defense and security.

Palin learned hunting from her parents. She has embraced her heritage and passed it on to the next generation. As an active and avid hunter, Palin understands the cycle of life and the meaning of providing for family. She knows that modern hunters share a love of the outdoors and contribute to the conservation of all wildlife. Hunters, back to Teddy Roosevelt's days, were the first conservationists who recognized the need for wildlife laws and conservation funding. Sarah Palin stands tall in her heritage and the proud tradition of modern hunters and conservationists.

"Sarah is the candidate we have been longing for," said Jim Irvine, chairman of the Buckeye Firearms Association. "She is strong from beginning to end, and does not let the media bias or the false claims of the rabid anti-gun movement alter her viewpoint in any way."

"This candidate represents a foundation that we can build on," agreed Chad D. Baus, Buckeye Firearms Association Vice Chairman. "Governor Palin is likely to significantly boost support from gun owners for the Republican ticket in this year's presidential election. With Sarah Palin on the ticket, the future for Second Amendment rights is very bright indeed."

Buckeye Firearms Association is a nonpartisan, single-issue grassroots political action committee (PAC) dedicated to defending and advancing the right of Ohio citizens to own and use firearms for all legal activities, including self-defense, hunting, competition, and recreation. They work to elect pro-gun candidates and lobby for pro-gun legislation.
