Second Amendment

The Second Amendment of the Constitution is very clear in its guarantee of our right to bear arms. As an avid sportsman and hunter, I don’t believe law-abiding citizens should have their rights infringed upon by bureaucratic activists, misguided lawmakers, or activist judges.

Standing Up for our Second Amendment Rights

I’ll always work to defend the Second Amendment rights of Americans to keep and bear arms. I will continue to fight against government overreach to curtail law-abiding citizens’ Second Amendment rights.

I joined my Republican colleagues in reintroducing the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act. This bill would ensure that state-issued concealed-carry permits are treated like a driver’s license. This means that individuals can use their home state’s concealed-carry permit to carry in another state as long as they are adhering to that state’s concealed-carry laws.
I pushed for answers from the Biden-era ATF on the Bureau’s overreaching decision to reject law-abiding Americans’ attempts to create and own a suppressor.
During the 118^th Congress, I supported the SHORT Act, which would stop the unconstitutional taxation, registration, and regulation of certain firearms such as short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and many other weapons.
During the 118^th Congress, I cosponsored the Federal Firearms Licensee Protection Act to increase penalties for criminals who steal firearms from federally licensed firearms and ammunition dealers. We need to protect the Second Amendment for law-abiding people and ensure that criminals get the justice they deserve. This bill will keep criminals who use stolen guns where they belong: behind bars.
During the 117^th Congress, I supported legislation to address the rapid increase in the number of “smash-and-grab” thefts targeted at federally licensed gun dealers. As crime increased across our nation under the Biden administration, law-abiding businesses like gun stores and pawn shops are seeing a dramatic rise in firearm theft by criminals and gang members. An increase in illegal and untraceable firearms on our streets means a decrease in the safety of American communities.
