The right to keep and bear arms is not only a freedom guaranteed by the second amendment, but it was conceived by the framers of our Constitution to protect and defend all our freedoms. Two centuries of court challenges have done little to diminish gun owners rights to arm themselves, but that is not stopping the anti-gun lobby.

Gun owners, like myself, will continue to be faced with people trying to take away our right to own firearms. I am a concealed handgun license holder, and I am proud to stand up to those willing to tear apart the second amendment. I vow to oppose any and all restrictive gun control legislation and I will work to pass pro gun reform legislation.
