Thank you for contacting me with your strong support for Second Amendment rights. It is good to hear from you.

Like you, I am a proud supporter of the Second Amendment right to bear arms. I certainly understand and share your concerns over the creation of new gun control laws or the renewal of an assault weapons ban in response to recent gun violence. Today, there is plenty of evidence, both in our country and elsewhere, that simply disarming law abiding citizens does not help reduce violent crime. Please be assured that I will continue to monitor any gun legislation closely and should any bills come to the floor of the U.S. Senate for a vote, I will keep your thoughts and concerns in mind. As long as I am your representative in the U.S. Senate, I will continue to work hard to protect Second Amendment rights for the people of Arkansas. I don't think additional gun laws are the solution to our problems with gun violence.

That's what I'm talkin' about.
