As Congress prepares to consider new gun control legislation, let’s remember that the right to bear arms is a unique and fundamental aspect of American liberty that government should not be allowed to take away.

Current gun control proposals being discussed by Washington Democrats—by the admission of their own authors—would not have stopped the tragedies in Newtown or Aurora.  Any effective plan to deal with future violence must focus on addressing mental illness, identifying societal factors, changing the violent culture our children are exposed to in the media and educating our students to give them alternative solutions to violence.

Stand with Marco today to protect your freedom.  Denying responsible citizens this American birthright is as unconstitutional as it is unnecessary. Sign this petition today if you agree that we can protect our children from future violence while still protecting our Second Amendment right.
