More coverage from our debate yesterday. Take a look and let me know how you think I did in the comments! talkbusiness.net/2026/10/sho…

Protect the right. Target violent crime. Respect due process. -- The right to keep and bear arms is an individual constitutional right, and I will defend it. [This is my daily plank post #12. Each day until the election I’ll be posting one plank from my platform. Or check the issues page on my website right now to read them all.] Semi-automatic firearms are among the most commonly owned guns in America. They are legal and should remain legal. Law-abiding adults should not be treated like criminals because of the type of firearm they own or because they choose to carry one for self-defense. Government should focus its attention where it belongs: violent offenders, illegal gun trafficking, credible threats, domestic abusers, and people who use firearms to harm others. Any restriction involving an individual’s rights must include strong due-process protections, prompt judicial review, and a meaningful opportunity to challenge the government’s evidence. I support responsible ownership, secure storage around children, effective school security, and intervention when someone presents a genuine danger. But I reject vague bans, arbitrary feature-based classifications, and laws that burden ordinary citizens while criminals ignore them. The Second Amendment protects more than hunting. It protects self-defense, personal security, and a final safeguard against government abuse. Law-abiding gun owners are our neighbors, parents, veterans, sportsmen, and protectors—not the problem.

Privacy, Surveillance, and the Fourth Amendment: Get a warrant. Protect the innocent. Punish abuse. The Fourth Amendment does not disappear because our lives have moved online. Government should not search Americans’ communications, movements, homes, devices, financial records, or personal data without probable cause and a specific warrant, except in narrowly defined emergencies. [This is my daily plank post #11. Each day until the election I’ll be posting one plank from platform. Or check the issues page on my website right now to read them all.] Foreign intelligence is necessary, but it cannot become a back door for domestic spying. FISA Section 702 should include a warrant requirement before agencies search for Americans’ communications, along with strict deletion rules, complete audit trails, notice when information is used in court, and meaningful penalties for deliberate abuse. Government should not evade the Constitution by buying location, browsing, or app data from commercial brokers that it would otherwise need a warrant to obtain. Flock cameras and other license-plate readers can help investigate specific crimes, but they should not create permanent movement histories of innocent people. Searches should require a judicial warrant, and documented investigative purpose. Retention periods should be short, data sharing should be limited, and every search should be logged and reviewable. The home deserves the strongest protection. Warrantless entry should be limited to genuine emergencies, and no-knock warrants should be rare, based on specific evidence of immediate danger, judicially approved, recorded, and reviewed afterward. Civil liberties are not partisan. “National security” is not a magic phrase that erases the Bill of Rights. The government should protect the country, obtain a warrant, and leave innocent people alone.
