Candidates in the South often have issues with answering questionnaires that they are categorically opposed to. It isn’t the issue of the use of guns in general, it is the bullying nature of the request that is the issue here…
Here is the language of the letter that came with the NRA questionnaire:
“In an attempt to provide our members with current and accurate information, I have attached a questionnaire for your response. The information derived from the questionnaire will be used, in part, to determine candidates’ NRA-PVF ratings, which will then be communicated to NRA members. If you choose not to return a questionnaire, you may be assigned a "?" rating, which can be interpreted by our membership as indifference, if not outright hostility, toward Second Amendment-related issues.”
and here is Maureen Skinner (candidate for State Senate in District 35):
If you want to help Maureen bring a new voice to the Arkansas Senate you can make a contribution to her campaign. Her opponent retweeted a post Saturday from PragerU:
We can change the dialogue and we can change election results by addressing these issues “head-on”. The students and young people who marched by the thousands on Saturday won’t be bullied, neither will the people who are standing strong for change this election year.
