Reader Comment: Setting the record straight on guns

To my friends, neighbors, and constituents,

Special interest groups have and will continue to attack my support of our Constitutional Right to Bear Arms among other things. Below is an open letter from your legislators in the Magic Valley.

Each rule, each piece of legislation, and each vote is carefully analyzed, vetted, and questioned.
