In Alaska, gun rights are not merely about ownership—they are woven into the very fabric of our culture and way of life. As rugged individuals who cherish our freedoms, Alaskans value the ability to protect ourselves, our families, and our way of life against both natural and human threats. Our gun rights protect us from the enemies of freedom both foreign and domestic. However, they should never be used for violence against our own people. Any use of a gun that is not strictly for defence of life must end. Responsible gun owners and non-owners agree gun violence must stop.

Responsible gun ownership aligns with the fierce independence and self-reliance that define our state. However, as we champion these important rights, we must also recognize the pressing need for effective strategies to combat gun violence. The safety of our communities is paramount; it is essential that we enact measures that protect our freedoms while also ensuring the well-being of every Alaskan.

As your next Governor, James William Parkin IV pledges to advocate for a balanced approach—one that safeguards our constitutional rights and promotes initiatives to enhance community safety. Responsible gun ownership begins with education and awareness. JP4 has concealed carry permits for Alaska and many other states. He has also been a hunter's safety instructor for over 15 years. We can reduce incidents of gun violence while embracing our cherished liberties.

Join us in preserving the Alaskan spirit. We can stand strong for our rights, protect our communities, and ensure a safer future for generations to come.
