I support your right to Keep and Bear Arms. This means that I am against any Red Flag law UNLESS that law provides for an emergency hearing BEFORE taking away someone's Consitutionally-protected rights. The biggest danger to our Constitution isn't people who hate this country, it is the uninformed. Politicians and talking heads often use emotional subjects to inject fear, and guns are no different. What we can and must do is educate our neighbors about the facts surrounding firearms, and demand that our legislators learn and use these facts, rather than incorrect statements and statistics.

As an avid supporter of the Constitution and everything it represents, this was an easy survey to complete. I support every American's right to Keep and Bear Arms and I will always stand against any attempt to restrict those rights. Red Flag laws are quickly used to divide us, so I feel it is important to note my stance on it. I am against anything that erodes our rights preemptively. In other words, if there is a real concern, then there should be an emergency hearing. If there was a way to do so BEFORE taking away someone's Constitutionally-protected rights, then I would be in favor of it, but guilty until proven innocent is not the way this country should operate. There is too much room for abuse.

Immigration is a critical issue in the United States. I feel for all of the less fortunate people of the world that want to come here for a better life. Our nation is founded on welcoming those who want to join us to create a better country, and all of us here came from somewhere else in the world at some point in our family's history. It is crucial that we concentrate on those that would contribute to society, rather than detract from it, however. Our southern border has to be secure, and we have to eliminate free rides, visa lotteries, and deport those that abuse our generosity.
