Bill Johnson Statement on President Obama's Executive Action on Firearms

Statement

Date: Jan. 5, 2016
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Constitution Guns

We are all saddened by the recent mass killings that have taken place. As a 26-year Air Force veteran, concealed carry permit holder, lifetime NRA member, parent, and grandparent, I firmly believe that Americans should feel safe in their homes and communities -- and they have a Constitutional right to protect themselves. I also believe upholding the Second Amendment and keeping the American people safe are not mutually exclusive. Actions that target law-abiding citizens' 2ND Amendment rights jeopardize our constitutional foundation and threaten to distract from the roots of the problem -- and the roots are terrorists, criminals, and a broken mental health system.

We know the President wants more than he has outlined. But, I will closely review the details of the President's plan, and will continue to move forward, reaffirming my commitment to protect and defend the Constitution.
