I was recently redistricted into the IL-47th District where I am seeking re-election in 2022.
TAL:Why is the Second Amendment so important to you?
SNA:I grew up with firearms.
Its awesome to be outdoors together, unplugged, and being still while we hunt.
And its fun to be competitive and loud and enjoying each other when were working on our shooting skills.
My father taught me that the Second Amendment makes that lifestyle possible.
Frankly, I believe the Second Amendment is the key reason our Republic is still a Republic.
The Second Amendment is, to me, the linchpin for making sure our inalienable rights are protected.
TAL:Can you tell us a little about the 2A Patriot PAC?
What exactly is a PAC, and why did you create this?
PACs are formed to raise and spend money in support of electing (or defeating) a candidate.
TAL:How can our readers get involved to help this effort?
SNA:There are a lot of ways, formal and informal, to help us hold the line.
Obviously, they can go online and join 2A Patriot PAC.
They can engage in activism, by writing emails or filling out witness slips when legislation is being considered.
They can contribute time or money to help our candidates.
The ways to help are practically limitless, really.
TAL:What are your favorite firearms?
Do you have any particular Springfield Armory favorites?
There are quite a few more, and, as with my kids, theyre all my favorite.
TAL:I understand that you recently had an opportunity to goshooting with Rob Leatham.
How was that experience of getting to shoot with one of the worlds greats?
His ability to teach, tweak, and train is so natural the lessons are immediately ingrained.
TAL:What do you see as the future of the Second Amendment?
There is such a disconnect between people and firearms, it exists more and more every day.
In 1776, very few Americans didnt have firsthand experience with a gun.
Today, fewer and fewer do have firsthand experience with a gun.
And, as we know, people tend to fear what they dont understand.
SNA:Thank you for all youre doing and for promoting our efforts in your forum.
We have to keep working together, united, to defend the Second Amendment.
