Illinois is a deep blue state on the whole. And along with deep blue comes a disregard of and even a hatred for issues like gun rights for the little people among many in the political class – even among some Republicans. What’s surprised me in this election season is the unabashedly pro-gun positions staked out by many candidates.
At Guns Save Life, we can’t endorse candidates because of our tax status. We do, however, educate the people on candidates’ positions. Here are some races we’re aware of with a substantive difference between the candidates in contested Republican primary races.
Why just a handful of Republican races? Because not a single pro-gun Democrat has reached out to us. Frankly, that should be alarming by itself, but shows how Democrats running for office have moved hard left, refusing to progress toward a future of freedom and instead promoting a system of gun control that reenacts past tyrannies.
Here’s one of the races we’re looking at.
IL 14th Congressional District: James Marter vs. Charlie Kim.
James Marter, one of our steering committee team at our LaSalle County GSL meeting, has a challenger in his primary race for Congress that isn’t even a Republican.
Charlie Kim ran as a Democrat in his home district and when that didn’t pan out, Mr. Kim filed as a Republican in Marter’s home district. Kim’s politics are somewhere between Lauren Underwood and AOC. Underwood, the incumbent, has amassed a voting record that makes AOC look conservative.
If you guessed that Mr. Kim is a rabid gun grabber, you’re likely smarter than Mr. Kim.
