Issue Position: 2nd Amendment

Issues: Guns

Our Constitution was founded on principles of individual liberty and limited government. The right of Americans to own firearms is confirmed by the Second Amendment. Gun control serves only to penalize law-abiding citizens, not criminals.

In states where firearm ownership regulations have been enacted there is no evidence that it has proven effective in reducing violent crime. Federal licensing of law-abiding gun owners and national gun registration would violate our Second Amendment rights.

Gun ownership is responsible citizenship, enabling Americans to defend themselves, their property, and our communities.
