Owen Hill on Gun Control

 

 


Protect the right to own & use guns for law-abiding citizens

Guns have always been an important part of American history. Both the US and Colorado constitutions protect the right to own and use guns for law-abiding citizens. Unfortunately, criminals will always take advantage of people and violate the law. When bad people disregard the laws, the only possible response is to allow everyone the equal chance to defend themselves. My wife, your wife, our mothers and daughters and everyone we know should have the chance to defend themselves. That is why I sponsored the bill in the Senate to give every law-abiding citizen the legal protection to carry a gun for self defense without having to ask permission from a bureaucrat.

I also had the privilege of speaking against the unconstitutional and ineffective laws put in place this year that will make it harder for people to protect themselves in what appears to be an increasingly violent world.
