The Second Amendment is not optional. It is not a privilege handed down by politicians. It is a God-given right, recognized by our Founders, and guaranteed by the Constitution.
The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution is clear and uncompromising:
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
Those final four words — “shall not be infringed” — are not a suggestion. They are not open to interpretation. They are a direct prohibition on government overreach.
No Compromise on Rights
When it comes to the Second Amendment, I will not compromise. Every so-called “reasonable restriction” is just another step toward disarming law-abiding citizens while doing nothing to stop criminals.
- Red flag laws: Violate due process.
- “Assault weapon” bans: A made-up term designed to scare and control.
- Magazine limits: Put families at risk instead of protecting them.
- Registration requirements: Open the door to future confiscation.
Every inch surrendered is an inch of freedom we will never get back.
Why the Second Amendment Exists
The Founders did not enshrine this right for hunting or sport. They wrote it to ensure that the people would never be powerless against tyranny — foreign or domestic.
- It protects our homes and families from criminals.
- It protects our state and our nation from enemies abroad.
- Most importantly, it protects liberty itself from an overreaching government.
History is clear: nations that disarm their people do not remain free.
My Commitment
As your representative, I will:
✅ Oppose any new gun control measures.
✅ Support constitutional carry and strengthen protections for law-abiding citizens.
✅ Ensure Arkansas remains a firewall for the Second Amendment against federal intrusion.
Final Word
The Constitution leaves no room for doubt:
“The right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
Not by Washington, not by bureaucrats, and not by those who fear freedom more than they value it.
I will never waver, never bargain away your rights, and never compromise on the amendment that secures all the others.
