Issue Position: Gun Rights

Issue Position

The defense of the Second Amendment is essential to our way of life. The price of liberty is constant vigilance. Our Founding Fathers knew this, and knew that the only way to ensure our liberty was to be able to back it up with force, if necessary. Our Second Amendment states: "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Michigan citizens, like all American citizens, have this fundamental right as well as a duty to protect themselves and their families should the need arise. Michigan's CPL is a great example of a way we can assert that right. Citizens of Michigan have the right to carry arms and to protect themselves, their families and their property. Police cannot be everywhere, all the time. Our 2nd amendment rights should be protected and promoted.
