2nd Amendment
The right to keep and bear arms is enshrined in the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution.
Where I Stand
The right to keep and bear arms is enshrined in the Second Amendment of the Constitution. The federal government should protect the rights of law-abiding citizens to own firearms. During my years in Congress, I have been a consistent voice on behalf of gun owners and have opposed legislation that seeks to chip away at the constitutional rights of Americans.
Legislative Action from the 113th Congress

H.R. 410 - Restore the Constitution Act - Would provide that any executive action infringing on the Second Amendment has no force or effect and would prohibit the use of funds for certain purposes.
