U.S. Representative Jake LaTurner released the following statement after voting against H.R. 8 and H.R. 1446:

"I will always protect and safeguard Kansans' Second Amendment rights. Our Founding Fathers understood the vital importance of firearms to ensure the individual right of all Americans to defend themselves and their property, and accordingly enshrined this essential freedom in the Bill of Rights. The two gun control bills -- H.R. 8 and H.R. 1446 -- recently put forth by the Democrats threaten the ability of law-abiding citizens to exercise their constitutional right to bear arms. These bills are partisan attempts to undermine the Second Amendment. I will vehemently oppose this and all such legislation that tramples on the freedoms our forefathers fought to protect."
