Good to see that Stratford has endorsed candidates!
I know you pulled your endorsement of Hatfield for attorney general over her statement on 3D printed guns but if you look at Tongs assault on the 2nd (he’s not holding back on his statements) I’m surprised Hatfield still isn’t endorsed despite what her view was on the 3D issue.
Peter, we endorse candidates because we believe them to be 100% solid on 2A issues. We don’t endorse candidates just because they are opposing a antigun candidate. Hatfield has not only sided with Tong on every major current issue, she actually chastised him for not getting those antigun laws passed in the last session. If CCDL were to endorse that, what would our endorsements really mean? Nothing.

Tong. Total POS. He hates America. Link above showing he hates the 1st amendment too.
If I was there I would have arrested him for violating 18 USC 242
Proud to have it! Jim Feehan
