As a gun owner and strong supporter of Second Amendment rights, I believe that the Constitutional right to keep and bear arms must be diligently protected. No law-abiding American should ever be denied their Constitutional rights without reason or due process. Just like many of you, I am extremely concerned about gun violence, and I believe it is absolutely critical that we continue to address this problem. However, we can have constructive conversations about how to put an end to gun violence without infringing on the rights of law-abiding citizens. We must be focused on preventing criminals from acquiring firearms in the first place and addressing the behavior behind these instances of mass violence instead of infringing on our Constitutional rights. Know that I will always stand up for my constituents’ rights – both to privacy and to bear arms – and I am committed to preserving the rights of all law-abiding individuals to purchase, possess, and use firearms for legitimate purposes. |
