Candidate's Website, 2020

"The framers of the federal Constitution included the Second Amendment protections because they had just fought and won a costly war against a tyrannical monarch and his government. They understood the danger of trusting that the government would always be good and just. A well-armed law abiding citizenry helps to ensure constitutionally protected rights and freedoms. The use of legally owned firearms can provide personal protection in life or death situations, as well as provide owners hours of enjoyment hunting and target shooting. As the Second Amendment to the Constitution, the Framers made this right one of the bedrocks of individual liberty and freedom. Together, we must guard and preserve it against the continuing efforts to undermine and eliminate it."
