Commerford: Texas, Michigan Election About Second Amendment

▶
Listen to Article

Midterm voting is underway, and John Commerford of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action warns that gun rights hinge on turnout in states including Texas and Michigan. Texas Senate candidate James Talarico has backed bans on popular semi-automatic firearms and standard magazines along with storage rules, bans on private transfers, and checks that the NSSF says would require a national registry. El-Sayed joins Talarico as an anti-gun Senate contender while House candidate Brandon Herrera, who seeks to end federal gun regulations, leads Katy Padilla Stout inside the margin of error. Georgia’s Rick Jackson is tied with Keisha Lance Bottoms in a contest with possible firearms-policy effects, as occurred in Virginia after last year’s Democratic win. Those who have not voted are asked to do so.
