Madam Speaker, I rise today to highlight the importance of protecting the Second Amendment to the Constitution. In my district, Commissioners in Davidson, Davie, Iredell, and Rowan Counties in North Carolina recently passed resolutions that simply affirm the Second Amendment rights of their residents and declare that these counties will never participate in the infringement of those rights through unconstitutional gun control. Anti-gun politicians in neighboring Virginia and other States are trying to undermine and overturn the Second Amendment. That is why these measures in my State are both necessary and timely. I commend these counties, and I remain fully committed to defending the rights of responsible, law-abiding gun owners. Madam Speaker, it is a people problem, not a device problem. ____________________
