Issue Position: Gun Control

Issue Position

I believe the 2008 U.S. Supreme Court ruling upholding a person's right to possess a firearm affirms what I have always thought was the clear meaning of the Second Amendment, which says the "right of the people to bear arms shall not be abridged." The patriots at Lexington Green and Concord Bridge were organized into militia companies, but the guns they carried on that April day in 1775 were their own. I oppose efforts to abridge that right.
