In Wyoming, firearm ownership is a longstanding part of our heritage. Whether for hunting, ranching, recreation, or personal protection, responsible gun ownership has been passed down through generations and remains an important part of life for many Wyoming families. As a hunter, sportsman, and outdoor enthusiast, I have seen firsthand how these traditions strengthen our communities and connect us to our way of life.
The Second Amendment is a fundamental constitutional right that deserves strong and consistent protection. It was included by our founders as a safeguard of individual liberty and an important check against the concentration of power. When constitutional rights are weakened or treated as negotiable, the freedoms that depend on them become more vulnerable as well.
Defending the Second Amendment also means trusting responsible citizens. Wyoming has a culture built on accountability, common sense, and respect for the law. I support policies that protect the rights of law-abiding gun owners while encouraging the safe and responsible firearm practices that have long been part of our state's tradition.
