Our 2nd Amendment Rights

I am a strong supporter and defender of our 2nd Amendment Rights. I currently hold a concealed weapons permit and I am a supporter of the NRA.

I oppose backdoor attempts to restrict Second Amendment rights by holding gun manufacturers liable for crimes committed by third parties using a firearm.

I believe that every firearms owner has a responsibility to learn how to safely use and store the firearm they have chosen, whether for target shooting, hunting, or personal protection. I will support legislation requiring gun manufacturers to include gun safety devices such as trigger locks in product packaging.

I believe that banning ammunition is just another way to undermine Second Amendment rights.

I support instant criminal background checks to help prohibit criminals from buying firearms and will vote to ensure they are conducted thoroughly, efficiently, and without infringing on the rights of law abiding citizens.
I believe in strict, mandatory penalties for criminals who use a firearm in the commission of a crime or illegally possess a firearm. Enforcing the current laws on the books is the best way to deter crime.
