WHO IS YOUR TRUE 2ND AMENDMENT CANDIDATE?

Tomorrow's Election in SC for the U.S. Senate Republican Primary Runoff is VERY, VERY, IMPORTANT! For gun owners, the choice could hardly be clearer, it is NOT Darline Graham! She has been given opportunity after opportunity to prove where she stands on the Second Amendment - she has absolutely failed.

When SC lawmakers were fighting to pass Constitutional Carry at the state level, Graham financially supported Katrina Shealy, a politician who worked to gut the bill!!!

Then, Graham REFUSED to answer the National Association for Gun Rights Candidate Survey, denying gun owners the opportunity to know where she stands on critical Second Amendment issues.

More recently, when pro-gun members of Congress called on the DOJ and ATF to stand down and allow a major pro-gun court ruling against the National Firearms Act to stand, Graham was once again nowhere to be found, she FAILED to sign the letter alongside her pro-gun colleagues!!!!

NOW, Graham is REFUSING to co-sponsor "Real Constitutional Carry", the most pro-gun bill in Congress, which would ensure your right to carry doesn’t disappear when you cross a state line.

Meanwhile, Congressman Ralph Norman has a 100% PRO-GUN VOTING RECORD! He scored 100% on the NAGR Candidate Survey. He is already a co-sponsor of H.R. 645, the Real Constitutional Carry Act. Unlike Graham, Norman has CONSISTENTLY put his name on the line when your gun rights are under attack!

THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR GUN RIGHTS HAS ENDORSED RALPH NORMAN FOR U.S. SENATE! PLEASE VOTE FOR RALPH NORMAN

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT WHERE BOTH SENATE CANDIDATES STAND ON THE SECOND AMENDMENT

Following the SC Special Republican Primary, Ralph Norman and Darline Graham have advanced to an August 25th runoff for U.S. Senate.

For South Carolina gun owners, that means it’s time to take a close look at where both candidates stand on the Second Amendment.

CONSTITUTIONAL CARRY - Is THE ULTIMATE LITMUS TEST for a politician’s gun rights credentials and Darline Graham has FAAILED that test on at least three occasions.

FIRST - Graham has so far FAILED to co-sponsor Real Constitutional Carry. Graham has had ample opportunity to sign on. So far, she has refused to do so.

S. 4013, the Real Constitutional Carry Act, is the most pro-gun bill in Congress, protecting the right of law-abiding Americans to carry firearms across state lines without navigating a patchwork of government permitting requirements.

SECOND - Graham REFUSED to pledge her support for Constitutional Carry on the NAGR Candidate Survey.

When NAGR sent Graham our survey and gave her the opportunity to put her positions on Constitutional Carry and other critical Second Amendment issues in writing, she refused to return it. In fact, the more they dug into Graham’s political history, the more disturbing trends were found.

THIRD - Graham donated money to a politician NAGR previously called out for helping gut Constitutional Carry in South Carolina.

Before being appointed to the U.S. Senate, in 2020 and 2024, Graham donated to former SC State Senator Katrina Shealy! Anti-gun Shealy opposed and then voted to load Constitutional Carry down with anti-gun language, fighting against the gold standard of gun rights legislation at the state level.

BOTTOM LINE - Graham failed to co-sponsor Real Constitutional Carry. She refused to pledge her support for Constitutional Carry on the NAGR Candidate Survey, AND she financially supported a politician who helped load South Carolina’s Constitutional Carry legislation down with anti-gun language.

Furthermore, Graham’s name was noticeably missing from a recent letter signed by 35 Congressmen, including Ralph Norman, urging the DOJ not to appeal the ruling in the Silencer Shop Foundation v. ATF case that states registration requirements for NFA items like silencers, SBRs, and SBSs are unconstitutional.

Once again, Graham was MIA, failing to join her pro-gun colleagues in signing a letter urging the DOJ to stand down on the anti-gun NFA and allow the pro-gun ruling to stand.

WHERE DOES CONGRESSMAN RALPH NORMAN STAND?

Norman has maintained a 100% PRO-GUN VOTING RECORD, returned his NAGR Candidate Survey 100% pro-gun AND is already a co-sponsor of the House version of Real Constitutional Carry (H.R. 645).

While Graham’s record continues to raise questions, Norman has established an unblemished record on the Second Amendment.

That’s why ALL SC citizens should be PROUD to vote for Ralph Norman!

As Patriots, we love our country and deeply care about the future of our great Palmetto State. Proverbs 22:29 offers a timely reminder of what truly matters this election season: “Do you see any truly competent workers? They will serve kings rather than working for ordinary people”

True leadership is not about the loudest voice, empty promises, or political games, it is about competence, integrity, and selfless service.

We seek leaders who communicate clearly and honestly with the people they serve. Leaders who demonstrate a genuine willingness to serve every South Carolinian - not just special interests or party insiders. Leaders who prioritize doing what is right for our state over political ambition, and who embrace transparency so citizens can see how decisions are made and where their tax dollars go.

"Do you see any truly competent workers? They will serve kings rather than working for ordinary people" - Proverbs 22:29
