Issue Position: 2nd Amendment & National Defense

Issue Position

The most basic role of government is to defend Americans and to never encroach on citizens' right to also defend themselves. Dr. Marshall will make sure that your 2nd Amendment rights are never infringed upon. We must ensure that Ft. Riley and our other military installations are fully funded.

Protecting Americans includes spending the resources necessary to secure our southern border. Radical Islam will stop at nothing and will exploit any weakness they see. We must be certain the young men and women serving us have the tools and training they need to be successful and the confidence that America will never renege on the promises made to them when they become veterans. Roger Marshall believes in Reagan's "Peace through Strength" approach and is opposed to military actions without a clear, obtainable objective.

"We must get our federal government back to its core functions -- chief among them is our national defense. America is the world's pre-eminent superpower, but we cannot be the world's policeman. However, when American lives or interests are in danger, our enemies should know we will act swiftly and decisively." -- Roger Marshall
