“First and foremost, I want to voice my strong opposition to the Obama administration's continued assaults on our Second Amendment rights. I ran for Congress to stand up against this overreach and to keep Washington bureaucrats' influence out of our lives and their hands off our freedoms and their hand off our guns. That is why I am offering an amendment to the Commerce, Justice, Science Appropriations bill that would stop President Obama's green tip ammo ban. As you recall, the ATF recently tried to ban common rifle ammunition that has been legally used by law-abiding American sportsmen for decades. It was only after receiving intense pressure from Congress and more than 80,000 public comments and, frankly, the direct intervention of Chairman Culberson that the administration stalled their proposed ban. As the clock ticks down on this President's second term, the administration is cooking up more than a dozen gun control regulations and has left the door open to reconsider future ammo bans. This determination to unconstitutionally restrict one of our most fundamental rights and--I would argue--our first freedom has nothing to do with safety or security and everything to do with government control.…”
