It seems that politicians (even highly pro-gun ones) say that they support the 2A, but never seem to stir debate about rolling back gun control laws which infringe upon it. They always talk about holding the line, never accepting new gun laws, never taking one step back - and yet, they never seem to mention taking a step forward towards regaining some of the freedom we've lost.
Some examples from officials with "A" GOA ratings,
Rand Paul of Kentucky:
"I do not support any proposed gun control law which would limit the right to gun ownership by those who are responsible, law-abiding citizens."
Richard Shelby from Alabama:
"...we should not react in a manner that would unnecessarily and improperly infringe upon the rights of tens of millions of law-abiding American gun owners...one of the starting points is protecting the ability of law-abiding citizens to defend their homes and families in the manner contemplated by our nation's founders in the Second Amendment."
Mike Crapo of Idaho:
"We must protect and preserve our constitutional right to bear arms...I will continue to oppose all efforts to weaken Second Amendment rights. "
John Boozman of Arkansas:
"New laws are not the answer. Stricter enforcement of the laws on the books is where we need to start... If [a bill] that infringes on the Second Amendment rights of Americans—comes up for a vote in the Senate, I will uphold and support gun owner’s rights by voting against it."
Why is this? Surely it will never happen if no one talks about it.
