Political Quotes

On the recordJune 24, 2022
As a strong advocate and fighter for the Second Amendment, I cannot support the Senate's gun control bill. The legislation is simply another attempt to blame law-abiding gun owners instead of holding accountable the disturbed criminals who are carrying out despicable acts of violence. The gun control bill would strengthen red flag laws, which take away individuals' due process rights, while allowing law enforcement to remove guns from individuals at the request of an expansive list of acquaintances. In America, a person is innocent until proven guilty. But liberal Democrats, they don't see it quite that way. The presumption of innocence--the foundation of our criminal justice system--apparently does not apply to law-abiding gun owners in the world of the Democrats' vision. I will fight tooth and nail to protect families from Washington Democrats' relentless attacks on our freedom and way of life. ____________________
