I am a strong supporter of your right to keep and bear arms and I will oppose efforts by Rep. McCarthy to limit those rights.
Guns do not commit crimes, people do. Washington DC , where it is illegal to own a handgun, proves that we do not need more gun control, we need more crime control. In Washington , the "bad guys" have guns and the law abiding citizens do not. Hard data clearly shows that gun control does not work.
One of the rights specifically protected in our bill of rights, second only to the freedom of speech is that "...the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." The Constitution is clear about this. I will continue to support and vote for legislation that protects your right to bear arms. I am glad that we agree on this issue .
Warmest Regards,
