Rep. Williams Introduces Resolution Reaffirming Support for the Second Amendment

Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Roger Williams (TX-25) introduced a resolution reaffirming the House of Representatives’ continued support for the Second Amendment and condemning the Biden administration’s recent actions to strip Americans of the right to bear arms.

“Our founding fathers envisioned a country where every citizen has the right to protect themselves, their property, and their family,” said Congressman Roger Williams. “The Biden administration has gone to extreme lengths to criminalize law-abiding gun owners, ignoring Congress, and using federal agencies like the DOJ, ATF, and DOC to abuse the rule-making process. My resolution reaffirms my strong support for the Second Amendment and condemns Biden’s unconstitutional attack on law abiding gun owners and buyers.”
