| I strongly support the Second Amendment to our Constitution, and recognize its critical role in defending the First.
The gun control agenda is based on the view that ordinary citizens cannot be trusted to use the physical power of arms responsibly.
The gun control agenda is an implicit denial of the human capacity for self-discipline, self-mastery, responsible self-government -- and it is therefore tyrannical in principle.
The right to keep and bear arms is guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the Constitution; it may not properly be infringedupon or denied.
As your Congressman, I will uphold the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms. I will oppose attempts to prohibit or unreasonably constrain ownership of guns by law-abiding citizens.
Gun control laws make criminals out of law-abiding citizens while the real criminals continue to ignore the law.
As a career law enforcement professional and lawyer, I can assure you that we as a society have a sufficient number of laws on the books that will punish criminal behavior, without attempting to control the lawful possession of firearms.
Let’s enforce the existing laws and punish real criminals. |
