South Dakota Gun Owners Voter Guide

 

South Dakota Gun Owners has created a Gun Rights Survey program to help gun owners understand where candidates for the state Legislature stand on the right to bear arms.  Each candidate was asked to indicate where he or she stands on thirteen specific gun rights issues.  They were each asked to sign a pledge stating that they would vote according to their answers, and each was informed that failure to answer any question would be considered an anti-gun answer.
