       HIGHLIGHTING IMPORTANCE OF PROTECTING THE SECOND AMENDMENT

  (Mr. BUDD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BUDD. Madam Speaker, I rise today to highlight the importance of 
protecting the Second Amendment to the Constitution.
  In my district, Commissioners in Davidson, Davie, Iredell, and Rowan 
Counties in North Carolina recently passed resolutions that simply 
affirm the Second Amendment rights of their residents and declare that 
these counties will never participate in the infringement of those 
rights through unconstitutional gun control.
  Anti-gun politicians in neighboring Virginia and other States are 
trying to undermine and overturn the Second Amendment. That is why 
these measures in my State are both necessary and timely.
  I commend these counties, and I remain fully committed to defending 
the rights of responsible, law-abiding gun owners.
  Madam Speaker, it is a people problem, not a device problem.
