I look at a candidates position on the Second Amendment
first and aviation secondly. Support for private arms is a
great way to determine how that person will approach all
issues. IMHO.

I think we are screwed for at least 2 years.




I never understood the connection between aviation and guns. A good
way to assess this is to find out how many AOPA members are also NRA
members, or vice versa. I would guess that there is very little
overlap.

I don't personally know any pilots that don't also own a gun. Limited
sample size, and hardly random, but it leads me to the opposite guess
regarding overlap.
