Issue Position: 2nd Amendment

Issue Position

Without the 2nd Amendment, the rest of the Bill of Rights would be nothing more than toothless suggestions for would-be tyrants and nefarious politicians.

The Second Amendment is not just about hunting or target practice, although they are important benefits. It is about protecting our lives, families, and homes from threats both foreign and domestic. Our nation's founders did not write the 2nd Amendment because the deer were coming!
When it comes to the 2nd Amendment, I will never compromise. The words "shall not be infringed" mean exactly what they say.

Wyoming has the most firearms per capita in the nation. If you follow the logic of the anti-gun crowd, you would immediately assume that Wyoming has the highest murder and crime rates in the nation, too, but that is not the case. Why? Because Wyoming people are a good and moral people. We deserve to have a Representative who not only shares our values, but also one who will stand firm and fight for our values.
