JIM MORELLI

The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees U.S. citizens the right to bear arms. This is a fundamental right of American citizens. The federal government under Democrats continues to threaten that right, and this threat flows down to our state, where Democratic leaders want not only to tax ammunition but also to put income from gun licenses into the general fund. This money should be directed to supporting opportunities throughout the state that benefit those who pay these fees. Like gas and use taxes these funds should be directed to road and infrastructure upgrades and not general funding.  Threatening Second Amendment rights is yet another move by our Democratic leaders to favor criminals over law-abiding citizens.
