Gun Owners Of America Backs Randy Brogdon

The Gun Owners of America Political Victory Fund announced today its endorsement of Randy Brogdon for governor.
"State Senator Brogdon is a leader in protecting Second Amendment rights and in the battle against federal intrusion in Oklahoma," said Tim Macy, Vice-Chairman of Gun Owners of America.
"Senator Brogdon stood up for states' rights when he opposed the 2005 Real ID Act, a law that would have compromised the privacy of gun owners," said Macy. "He has stood up and supported every pro-Second Amendment bill that came up in the State Senate, including several votes for implementing the castle doctrine in Oklahoma."
This year, Brogdon authored the Firearms Freedom Act, now moving through the Legislature. It says that any firearm made in Oklahoma and kept in the state is exempt from federal regulation.
"I am one of the few elected officials,” says Brogdon, “who truly understands what the Second Amendment is all about. It’s not about a turkey shoot, or a quail hunt, it’s really not even about me being able to protect myself from you, or vice versa. The Second Amendment states that you and I have the right to bear arms in the event that the federal government gets out of control."
