Second Amendment Rights
Protecting our Right to Bear Arms.
Since the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT, there has been a lot of discussion about how we can keep our citizens safer. We can and should certainly have conversations about how we can prevent events like Sandy Hook from happening.
However, the discussion cannot become one about whether or not the federal government should ban guns. The 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution already has an answer to that question: “The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
Law-abiding citizens should not be punished because of the horrific actions of a few bad people.
I assure you that I will continue to be a strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment and will work to ensure that your constitutional rights to protect yourself and your family are not infringed by the government.
