In an attempt to limit our Second Amendment rights, House Democrats passed legislation this week that would restrict access to firearms. The two bills they passed would slow the process to a crawl for law abiding citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights and would create a national firearm registry. Contrary to Democrat’s big promises, these bills would not realistically prevent gun crime.
Let me be clear- those who choose to own guns should obtain them legally, understand how they work, and use and store them properly. Rather than end gun crime, these laws will make it harder for law abiding citizens to access the firearms they need. By effectively creating a national firearm registry, the federal government dramatically overreaches its power to infringe on the rights of every American. The Constitution clearly states our right to bear arms, and that is a right I will continue to fight for every day in Congress.
