Gun voters often don’t realize the importance of the North Carolina Supreme Court. The court, however, considers not only cases directly related to gun rights, but will also soon deal with legal challenges to political districts recently drawn by the new Republican majority in the General Assembly. To preserve the present 4-3 conservative majority, it is essential to re-elect Justice PAUL NEWBY to the NC Supreme Court.
Important note: Casting a straight party vote does NOT cast a vote for judicial or presidential candidates. Those votes must be cast separately.
Many of you have asked why GRNC didn’t include judicial races in its “Remember in November” voter guides. The answer is that having judges complete candidate surveys can be problematic in that having their views on specific issues expressed in writing could force them to recuse themselves from crucial gun cases.
In conversations with GRNC, Justice Newby agreed to give the following statement describing his position on the Second Amendment:
Included
in our explicit God-given inalienable rights, protected by both our
federal and State Constitutions, is "the right to keep and bear arms."
US Const. 2nd Amendment, NC Constitution, Art. I, Sec. 30. As a
gun-owner, I cherish that right. For the last eight years as a Justice
on the NC Supreme Court, I have a record of protecting our
Constitutional rights, including gun ownership. I frequently speak to
school and civic groups about the need to protect and exercise our
fundamental rights. I appreciate the efforts of your group to educate
our citizens about the importance of protecting our gun ownership
rights. What you do helps fulfill our State Constitutional reminder, "A
frequent recurrence to fundamental principles is absolutely necessary to
preserve the blessings of liberty." NC Constitution Art. I, Sec. 35.
Sincerely,
Justice Paul Newby
Sincerely,
Justice Paul Newby
LEFT TARGETS NEWBY
Bear in mind too that the left has targeted Newby for defeat, describing him just today as “another Tea Party politician masquerading under a black robe.”
