I think Bill Richardson has a good position on the RKBA. He has signed pro-RKBA legislation as governor of New Mexico. He was endorsed by the NRA in his last election. He has a concealed-carry permit (whatever they are called in New Mexico).
Here's an article about him.
His campaign web site doesn't say anything about the issue (yet).

There is Newt.Russell wrote:Hopefully we can stay on topic! This would be a good thread to use as discussion if it doesn't turn into a flame war.
Is there any other candidates out there besides Fred and Ron that support gun rights as well as they do? I like candidates that bring the issue to the front of the line.

I will NOT vote for Giuliani. Actions speak louder than words,and New Yok City still has the tight gun laws they had when he was mayor. I will NOT vote for H illary because her beliefs are established. She and Bill tried to outlaw guns when he was head resident of the White House. I don't like any of the present candidates, but since I don't know much about any of them, I'll keep an open mind. What I am hoping for is a conservative independent to rise from the ashes. Besides, It's still a long time 'til we have to decide.
