Issue Position: Defending Our Second Amendment Rights

Issue Position

As a gun owner and lifelong hunter, I am fighting to protect and preserve our constitutional right to bear arms. I do not support gun control; we should not burden law-abiding citizens with additional gun restrictions that will not increase public safety. I am proud of the A+ rating the National Rifle Association has given me for my strong record of defending our Second Amendment rights.
Recently, I introduced legislation to restore Americans' fundamental right to bear arms on the 11.7 million acres, 460 lakes and almost 500 recreational areas managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers throughout the country. This bill seeks to make firearm laws consistent across all public lands and protect the legal rights of gun owners.
The Second Amendment reads: "A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." This provision prohibits the federal government from denying citizens this right. I will not support any legislation that hinders the ability of law-abiding citizens to acquire a firearm. I have consistently voted to protect our Constitutional rights and will continue to oppose all efforts to weaken the Second Amendment.
