Respecting the Second Amendment does not mean abandoning common sense. The right to own guns in this country must remain, while we also must strengthen our laws to prevent mass shootings.

So I think that this is wrong, and common sense tells us it?s wrong. And I?m worried that the president is going to bully this through and the impact that has.

Americans have the right under the Second Amendment to own firearms, and that is not going to change.

A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies.

I'm a defender of the Second Amendment to the Constitution.

The Second Amendment says we have the right to bear arms, not to bear artillery.
