Second Amendment

“Our constitution’s Bill of Rights was designed to guarantee a list of basic and essential rights for the individual citizen. The right to bear arms was wisely included on this list by our country’s founding fathers in their day, and I intend to protect it in mine.”

--Congressman Mike Pence


I support the constitutional right of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms and believe that firearms in the hands of law-abiding citizens result in less crime.

Congress should rebuff attempts to restrict the Second Amendment and recognize that programs such as national firearms registration and the assault weapons ban are antithetical to the constitutional rights of law-abiding Americans.

Furthermore, Congress should recognize the primacy of state law in matters related to firearms purchases and registration and should support state efforts to disarm dangerous criminals.
