Idaho – -(AmmoLand.com)- Life across the country is very tense right now.
Gun owners are buying up guns and ammo in record numbers.
Sadly, we are also seeing despicable politicians usurp as much power as possible to go after gun owners and citizens.
Even here in Idaho, we have one Mayor who is making threats against citizens.
Mountain Home Mayor Rich Sykes has become unhinged!
Fines, jail time, and more for people he deems are doing “non-essential” things. Ironically, this Mayor went on a power-driven tirade on Facebook the other day. He also said he is going to “shut the city down.”
Ironically, the same Mayor was also busted using a taxpayer-funded gym just four days ago!
You can read all about the story here.
It is times like these where we see tyrants flex their muscles and attack the people they are supposed to represent.
Idahoans must come together during this time and help one another. We don’t need elected officials targeting citizens for simply trying to live their lives.
Finally, we want to make sure that you are aware that ALL votes for the May 19th Primary Election will be done through absentee ballots.
This means that each of you will have to request an absentee ballot from your county or you can request one from the Secretary of State’s office.
You can do that here: https://idahovotes.gov/vote-early-idaho/
You will have until May 19th, 2020, to request a ballot. Ballots will be finalized on June 2nd.
Make sure you are helping to keep gun grabbers out of Idaho.
Elections have consequences. We can’t sit back and hope that things don’t get worse while we are under a “stay-at-home” order.
This is no time to sit back and watch our freedoms erode. The 2nd Amendment is more important now than it ever has been before.
Thank you and for your help in defending the 2nd Amendment.
I hope you are well and safe.
For Idaho,
Greg Pruett

Why do the citizens put up with this crap?. If my mayor did that I would be in ALL OVER their butts.
That Mayor is toast in the next election.
Mountain Home, ID, is home to Mountain Home AFB. There are many, many, firearms, gun owners, etc. If that base closes, the town might as well close down. I hope this office receives phone calls and mail disagreeing with the mayor’s statement from gunowners. What happened to the oath of office “I will uphold and support the constitution…..”
Liberal run lower governments are overstepping their authority but revealing their true nature. While the spotlight is on, it’s time to remember who they are before they slither back into the woodwork. Just who do these wannabe tyrants think they are, and why do we let them get away with it? Vote their asses out at the first opportunity, remove them for violating their oath of office and prevent future infestations from occurring again. It might sound like I’m talking about a virus, it is. The ongoing plague against the Constitution of the United States and the American people.
When this is all over, if the American people don’t recall and / or vote a whole lot of these little dictators out of office, then the people deserve everything that we get going forward.
Unfortunately, the police state is being set in motion because the people have called for it. They want their daddy Big Government to protect them at all cost, even the loss of freedom.
There is no way we return to a Constitutional Republic because the minions have given the wannabee Puppet Masters the taste of power they have been dreaming about.
Voters, be aware of this attempt at voter suppression. Get your early ballots and vote this power mad bum out of office. Don’t forget to tell all your friends as well.
Why isn’t he JUST PICKED up and jailed and held threre, He’s just a frigging Mayor,he HAS NO rights to touch ANY part of the Const Laws or esp the 2A Rights(much less rule on them), he’s just a man with a title acting like a dick.Sick and tired of these self made petty tyrants THINKING they are OVER the BOR’s and THE LAW OF the LAND.Someone knock some shit out of his head. Warn him to back off or else.Citizens are going to have to start taking these folks to task, by suing them or forcing them out of… Read more »
Thank you, Mr. Pruett, for this article. When you run across someone like Sykes, just send him home in the next election and tell him NOT to come back!
I wants my FREEDUMB!
GO ahead and rant and be “free” when it is your friends and family dying form this pandemic you can bask in the glow that you are a “Freeman” who caused it!
