I believe the Second Amendment is a foundational right. It is not just about owning a firearm, but about personal responsibility, self-reliance, and the freedom to protect what matters most. It’s a right worth preserving, not because we glorify guns, but because we value the principles behind them: safety, liberty, and trust in the individual.

​

• The right to keep and bear arms is part of our country’s long-standing tradition of personal responsibility.

​

• It’s not about fear, it’s about the peace of mind that comes with being able to protect your family.

​

• I support lawful access to firearms, along with strong, common-sense training and safety practices

.

• This right should be protected for law-abiding citizens, especially in rural and remote communities where help isn’t always nearby.

​​

• And it’s worth having honest, respectful conversations about how to uphold this right while keeping everyone safe.
