<div dir="ltr"><div>TL;DR - I vote Nay.</div><div><br></div>Perhaps I misunderstand the point of a resolution that simply reaffirms our platform position with regard to an individual's right of self-defense by way of a firearm. I believe that nothing in our platform indicates or implies that we would support <span style="font-size:12.8px">denying access to any firearms or ammunition to any person simply for being placed on any government watch or no-fly list, and we include a provision with regard to our platform's silence on an issue, so this resolution seems to be redundant to the platform. Thus, I vote nay.</span></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:small">Brett C.
