Guns and Self-Defense

“If elected, I will sponsor and work diligently to pass legislation to repeal all state laws that abridge an individual’s right of self-defense and remove this obstacle to citizens who can prevent or stop mass shootings.”

Why we should fully restore the right of self-defense

• The right of self-defense both deters and thwarts crime, minimizing the harm that criminals can inflict on innocent, law-abiding citizens.
• There is no such thing as a “gun-free” zone. Murderers don’t care about gun regulations. They take guns wherever they please. Only innocent, law-abiding citizens obey such laws, leaving them defenseless.
• There are only two types of zones possible: one where bad guys go unchallenged, and one where law-abiding citizens can take them down.
• Taking away the right of self-defense puts innocent men, women, and children in harm’s way.
• Anti-gun laws result in more violence: more murders, more rape, more assault, more muggings, more home invasions, and more theft.
• Violent crime rates are lower in areas where citizens have the right to keep and bear arms.
• Blaming guns for murder is like blaming pencils for misspellings.
• Repealing anti-self-defense laws will make America safer.
• To reduce violence even more, end drug prohibition. The majority of violent crimes are linked to the War on Drugs.
