Hinson Stands Up for Second Amendment, Opposes Gun Control Bills

Press Release

Congresswoman Ashley Hinson released the following statement in opposition to gun control legislation put forward by House Democrats.

"The bills Democrats put forward would punish law-abiding gun owners in Iowa without actually doing anything to prevent bad guys from illegally purchasing guns. These bills trample on the Constitutional rights of Iowans and I strongly opposed them. I will always make sure that law abiding Iowans' Second Amendment Rights are upheld."

H.R. 1446 allows the government to delay the sale of a firearm for an indefinite amount of time.

H.R. 8 infringes on the rights of law-abiding gunowners, criminalizing everyday transfers of guns between friends, family, and neighbors, including lending of weapons that were obtained lawfully.

Earlier this week, Hinson spoke on the House Floor in opposition to these bills.
