<div dir="ltr">Very good. As I noted, however, to some who sent this to me privately, while it is worlds better (and I am pleased) than past statements, it does not call for repealing current restrictions as stated by our platform. It also (unless I missed it) does not speak about watch lists. I hope Governor Weld soon issues a statement on those two issues.<div><br></div><div>-- <br><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><font size="4" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" color="#666666"><b>In Liberty,</b></font></div><div><font size="4" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" color="#666666"><b>Caryn Ann Harlos</b></font></div><div><font size="1">Region 1 Representative, Libertarian National Committee </font><span style="font-size:x-small">(Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Kansas, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, Washington) - <a href="mailto:Caryn.Ann.Harlos@LP.org" target="_blank">Caryn.Ann.

The exception is he says he's open to a discussion about how to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill, but also showed hesitancy to support a law on this. He notes that it carries the dangerous potential for the government to declare someone to be mentally ill who is not, thus infringing on their right to keep and bear arms.</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">Overall, Gary Johnson has been far more consistently pro-gun than Donald Trump.</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">Cheers,</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">Carla Howell</div><div class="gmail_default">Political Director</div><div class="gmail_default">National Libertarian Party</div><div class="gmail_default"><a href="tel:202-333-0008%20x%20222" value="+12023330008" target="_blank">202-333-0008 x 222</a></div></div>
