SUPPORT FOR GUN RIGHTS
(Mr. COMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to reaffirm my strong support
for the Second Amendment and stand up for the constitutional right for
all Americans to keep and bear arms.
At a time when efforts are underway across the country to restrict
gun ownership, patriotic Americans are rising up in strong defense of
the Second Amendment. This is especially true in my home State of
Kentucky, where there is significant grassroots energy on the side of
defending a right that our Founding Fathers considered to be of
critical importance.
Whether it be red flag laws or other proposals aimed at limiting
access to firearms or ammunition, politicians across the country are
seeking to roll back the basic rights of law-abiding Americans. As a
member of the Congressional Second Amendment Caucus, I pledge to
strongly oppose these proposals as well as any effort to infringe on
the fundamental freedom of gun ownership.
