Issue Position: Protecting Second Amendment Rights

Issue Position

I support the Second Amendment right of all law-abiding citizens to defend themselves and their families. One of our most cherished freedoms as Americans is our right to keep and bear arms, and we must never let anyone threaten it.

The Second Amendment

I firmly believe that we do not need more gun control in America; rather we need more criminal control. Therefore, I support instant background checks on the purchase of all guns to prevent convicted felons from obtaining them, but I do not support waiting periods or the registration of any firearm. I will continue to oppose any attempts to crack down on law-abiding firearms owners, rather than punishing criminals who use guns.

I have earned "A" ratings from the National Rifle Association since arriving in Congress for my consistent support of pro-Second Amendment legislation. As your United States senator, I will continue to work for commonsense legislation that keeps our children safe without infringing upon our Second Amendment rights.
