Since coming to Congress, one of my priorities has been to preserve our Second Amendment rights. I do not support efforts to impose additional arbitrary gun control laws on the American people when it is evident that laws already in place are not being properly enforced.

Current gun laws already limit access to guns for minors and convicted criminals -- yet if they, like any law, are not enforced, they are useless. Gun control has never succeeded in reducing violent crime in America, nor has infringing or diminishing the Second Amendment right to own and possess a firearm succeeded in keeping guns out of the hands of criminals.

I will continue to support measures in Congress that ensure the freedoms of law abiding gun owners are not infringed upon.
