I wanted to start this thread to introduce myself to the forum, and discuss my positions and my campaign. Those of you at the April 5th rally had the opportunity to hear my case for gun rights and talk with me one-on-one about gun issues. For those who did not, please let me introduce myself:
My name is Steven Nielson, and I intend to be your next State Representative for Washington's 2nd Legislative District.
Though I open carry, I am advocating constitutional carry as a tenet of my campaign. I believe that gun ownership, and by extension self-defense, is a natural right endowed in our creation. As such I do not believe that any means of self protection, property protection, or other necessary protection should be registered or regulated in any fashion. With freedom comes responsibility. I believe that we should have access to modern arms and ammunition, to defend ourselves as we see fit, not as the government allows us. And I believe that if and when government invents new laws that are obstructive to our natural right, we have a duty to liberty to violate those unjust laws.
It is the rare occasion to find a Washington Politician brave enough to stand up with this kind of passion for gun rights. But then again, I'm not a politician. I'm a concerned citizen who has been pushed to the limits. I can not allow bad policy to continue to become bad law. I refuse to sit idly while destructive gun laws become common place, while government agencies declare war on land and gun owners, and while politicians are voiceless and actionless against such blatant violation of our natural rights.
As you can see, I'm very passionate about freedom with regard to self-defense. And I intend to remain a voice for these issues as I move beyond a successful election and into the state house.
Again, my name is Steven Nielson, and I am asking for your support and endorsement as a pro-open carry / constitutional carry candidate - a champion for liberty.
