Fundamental to this free and democratic society is the "right to bear arms." The second amendment to the United State Constitution clearly states,
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." I support the second amendment.
The state of North Carolina is largely rural where hunting, fishing and protection of property are essential parts of our culture. The laws of this state also clearly allow the protection of oneself and ones property. It is essential that the effectiveness of any laws be assessed before any new ones are proposed or rewritten and as a US Congresswoman that I will do when issues so related come up. I have always stated that I support the rights of individuals to bear arms as long as they don't point them at me. I stand by that position.
