The big losers in last night’s election? Gun control advocates

November 5, 2014

 So who were the biggest losers in last in last night’s election? According to this story it just might be the gun control advocates.

  Here is more:

the Second Amendment annihilated the left’s relentless claim that 90 percent of Americans support more gun control.

On the gubernatorial level, in Arizona, pro-Second Amendment candidate Doug Ducey (R) beat gun control candidate Fred DuVaul (D). And in Florida, pro-Second Amendment incumbent Rick Scott (R) beat gun control candidate Charlie Crist. These victories were enhanced by the fact that Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly endorsed DuVal and Giffords’ gun control PAC gave $100,000 to Crist’s campaign. 

The Second Amendment trumped their endorsement and their money. 

In Texas, NRA-endorsed gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott (R) won. In Maryland, NRA-endorsed gubernatorial candidate Larry Hogan (R) won. In Alabama, NRA-endorsed Governor Robert J. Bentley (R) won. In Wisconsin, NRA-endorsed Governor Scott Walker (R) won. In Michigan, NRA-endorsed Governor Rick Snyder (R) won. In Nevada, NRA-endorsed Governor Brian Sandoval (R) won. In Ohio, NRA-endorsed Governor John R. Kasich (R) won. In Oklahoma, NRA-endorsed Governor Mary Fallin (R) won. In Wyoming, NRA-endorsed Governor Matt Mead (R) won. In Idaho, NRA-endorsed Governor Bruce Otter (R) won. In Kansas, NRA-endorsed Governor Sam Brownback (R) won. And in Maine, NRA-endorsed Governor Paul R. LePage (R) won against gun control candidate Michael Michaud (D). (On August 8, Breitbart News reported that Michaud was supported by Gabby Giffords.)

In Senate races, gun control Senator Mark Udall (D-CO) was defeated by NRA-endorsed Cory Gardner (R) and gun control Senator Kay Hagan (D-NC) was defeated by NRA-endorsed Thom Tillis (R). In Kansas, NRA-endorsed Senator Pat Roberts (R) won. In Georgia, NRA-endorsed Senatorial candidate David Perdue (R) won. In Arkansas, NRA-endorsed Tom Cotton (R) won. And in West Virginia, NRA-endorsed Shelley Moore Capito (R) won, marking the first time that state has sent a Republican Senator to Washington DC in over five decades. 

The spotlight was also on the race between NRA-endorsed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and pro-gun control challenger Alison Grimes (D). McConnell won handily. 

NRA-endorsed Senatorial candidate Joni Ernst (R-IA) also won.

    This has summed up alot of the questions I have about Reid and what might be happening over in the Senate at this point. I am hoping that McConnell will not just lay back and do the bi-partisan thing that Reid and Obama are now putting forth. After being a totally one sided Senate, this was a big worry for me. I am hoping what I just read in this artlcle will come about. I do not have alot of faith in McConnell, guess that is what is bothering me, but maybe, just maybe he has things up his sleeve that we do not see and he is more seasoned than to fall for the “let’s just all get along”, cry.

      Thanks for the link. I also worry the Republican Senate will try too hard to play nice. The American people rejected Obama’s agenda and they gave the Republicans a mandate. If they do not follow through on it they will be voted out when the time comes, I hope they realize this.

        I just have this feeling in my gut, that the Republicans will cave on this like they usually do. I am with you, if they do not follow thru with what we voted for this time, then the Republicans will be voted out in the next election. The problem is, the Democrats will come out, with the medias help, with how much they want to work with the Republicans and the big bad Republicans will not work with them. Who do you think, after that kind manipulation, the people will side with? This will be even after the people voted the Democrats out!!! We know the media has been involved in alot of what is going down, what would make us think they would stop meddling now? They will NOT! So, guess we either start making calls for all the good it does, or we will be sitting back and watching the Republican party self destruct all for the “good” of the people and bi-partisanship. There really cannot be bi-partisanship under Democrat rules, it will be tipped in their favor.

    Don’t forget Alaska Senator Mark Begich who’s trailing Republican Dan Sullivan by 8000 votes. A gap he’s unlikely to make up after counting the rural votes. Good riddance to the Obama loving gun-control leftist fool!

      I don’t know why they have not called this one yet but it sure looks like another pickup.

    Their ‘gun control’ is working so well in Chicago why would anyone doubt it would work the same for the nation! Those who support stripping citizens of personal protection should have front yard signs stating “Free gun zone”. See how that works out for them!
    Glad to see this Steve 😊

      There are plenty of gun laws on the books….to think that to make an area gun free and no one will bring in a gun, is pretty stupid! Same thing goes for Decatur where I live, we get plenty of people coming down from Chicago because Macon County has better benefits than Cook County, so we get plenty of guns brought in. You know for a fact they are all LEGAL!!! Hmmmm!

      Yes Zip, this is great news but of course it will not stop them from pushing this agenda.
