Novembers elections are critical for trappers, hunters and gun owners and will shape our future for many years to come. This election is more important than the last election for trappers, hunters and gun owners.

Yep, starting with our Texas Senate race. If the Senate flips, bad news for our country.

Everything we have accomplished will be reversed if Dems regain control.

I hope we all realize that and turn out in Nov.

We are living a turning point in American history. Epic!

"Everything we have accomplished..."

Such as?

Specifically, what has been accomplished for trappers by a Republican controlled government?

Delaware trappers can possess body grip traps over 5”. But that was done by the people going to some Delaware Republicans and a few Democrats. Next step is using them!

Not really what you were looking for.

What gets me is everyone who complains about elections on both sides, but only 30% of registered voters show up.

I believe trap theft and poaching has decreased dramatically because of the honesty, integrity and morality demonstrated daily by President Trump.

How about you get to keep more of the money you make

And I no longer have to pay a penalty b cause I don’t have Obama’ care because I can not afford it

So that’s a little more money in the pocket to buy more things I do need or help if I do get sick or laid up

Economy is good and people are confident. Instead of going to TSC and buying a trap for that groundhog under their shed they are calling and paying us to come take care of it.

We still have Obamacare, still have legalized abortion, still no borderwall or increases border security, still no national constitutional carry, my taxes are still too high and too complicated, etc, etc, I could go on and on, even though we have a republican president and a republican congress. How is that any different than if we had a democrat controlled white house and congress? Both truly are different sides of the same coin.

Confidence of investors, that is the difference.

When the dems are in control, money holders hold tighter. Repubs in control tend to loosen that grip. When that takes place, opportunities are created.

I will assume most trappers have firearms. Just think what the Witch would have promoted if she had been elected. As far as national constitutional carry, see that it happens in your home state first. If enough states have it then it might be possible to get it nationwide. If you remember years back, Florida got the ball rolling to get to where we are at today with concealed carry in this country. Might be the same can happen with constitutional carry, here in Kansas we respect your right as an American citizen to carry.

I shudder to think of what a Dem. controlled congress and white house would do to our gun rights. Probably make a lot of us outlaws.

And Trump will have 6 1/2 more years to get those items changed out. And resend the Obama Executive orders.

Plus work with the Congress to get individual health care available, on a personal choice, not mandated.

Also back of some of the ridicules regulations on the auto industry. Most gasoline autos get great mileage.

With electric cars, that power has to be manufactured someplace in order to charge that Prius etc.

When more people work, more taxes are collected. Thus to pay for the needs/wants of Congress.


How about cutting the actual budget by 5% every year for the next 6 years. And NO 3% raise every year either.

Pay raises in Washington should be held at present for 6 years.

This election is far more important for the country as a whole than trapping.

As far as Obamacare goes, pretty much all republicans were elected promising to repeal it. Yet it's still here, and as of late, I don't even hear any talk of repealing it. Electric cars are a joke for now, until the technology catches up, but they do get better gas mileage equivalent than a gas-burning vehicle. But it's not the governments job to mandate or subsidize that, or any industry, for that matter. We all know that the budget only ever goes up, it'll never ever go down, Republican or Democrat. The public, regardless of how they vote, has too many expectations and desires from the government for the budget to ever go down. We all, regardless of which side of the aisle we sit on, expect government to hand us money in one way or another, whether that's through farm/ethanol subsidies, social security, medicare/Medicaid, welfare, foodstamps, military spending, "free" healthcare, whatever. Short of military spending, I don't see constitutional authority for the federal government to pay for any of those things. Per the 10th amendment, any power not specifically granted to the feds is reserved for the states and the people. Republicans and democrats both want to spend money freely, it just depends who/what they're spending it on.
