Ann Wagner on Gun Control

 

 


Supports striking down various gun bans

Whether it is hunting, sporting and recreation, or for purposes of protection, Ann believes that the founding fathers meant for all law-abiding citizens to have the right to bear and maintain firearms as provided for by the Second Amendment.

Ann supports recent decisions by the United State Supreme Court to strike down various gun bans and pledges her support in continuing the fight to protect this fundamental right for all individuals.
