House Republican Conference Secretary Virginia Foxx (R-NC) issued the following remarks today after President Obama and Vice President Biden's press briefing announcing the Administration's plans to propose gun restrictions:
"Just over one month has passed since the devastating tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut that cost the lives of twenty-six innocent people.
"Our national response must not be shortsighted as constitutional liberties are at stake. New laws will do us no good if they burden responsible gun owners and small businesses but fail to stop sick people before they turn to evil.
"But if bipartisan ideas are considered in Congress, per the separation of powers, and are carefully scrutinized for their effectiveness and constitutionality, I am hopeful we can arrive at a solution that protects the most innocent and vulnerable among us while honoring the foundational Second Amendment rights of millions of law-abiding American citizens."
