Second Amendment
Second Amendment issues are important to our district and to my work in Congress.
Second Amendment
I stand behind our Constitution and the fundamental rights the Second Amendment guarantees all Americans. The Second Amendment to our Constitution was intended as an individual right of American citizens to keep arms in a peaceful manner for the protection of themselves, their family, and their freedoms. As Thomas Jefferson said “the strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny.” The right of citizens to bear arms in the United States constitutes a guarantee against arbitrary government, and one more safeguard against tyranny.

I look forward to your feedback.
Thank you.
