WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Congressman Bob Good (R-VA) voted against two unconstitutional gun control proposals on the House floor this week, H.R. 7910, the Protecting Our Kids Act and H.R. 2377, the Federal Extreme Risk Protection Order Act. Congressman Good opposes any policy that undermines the rights of law-abiding Americans to keep and bear arms as afforded to them in the Constitution.

"The legislation passed by House Democrats largely along party lines is both unconstitutional and ineffective. There is no government solution to evil, and restricting the 2nd Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens to defend themselves will only enable violent crime. As we learned from the New York shooting a few weeks ago, a state can have restrictive gun laws on the books, but it will not stop someone intent on doing harm to others. It is encouraging to see Governor Youngkin proposing state-level solutions to make schools safer like his initiative to ensure school resource officers are in schools across Virginia."
