Congresswoman Diana Harshbarger released the following statement after her votes against Democrat-led bills that infringe upon law-abiding citizens’ Second Amendment Rights: H.R. 8, the Background Checks Act, and H.R. 1446, the Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2021.
“I will always defend the right to bear arms for law-abiding citizens,” said Congresswoman Diana Harshbarger. “Every one of our rights are predicated on our Second Amendment right to defend ourselves. That is why I voted no today on the Democrat-led bills that are nothing short of blatant gun grabs and attacks on our constitutional rights. Washington Democrats don’t understand the part of the Constitution that says our Second Amendment rights ‘shall not be infringed.’
“Thankfully, our strong leadership in Tennessee understands what Democrats in Washington don’t. Our state legislature is currently advancing legislation to strengthen Second Amendment rights by implementing permitless carry. This is the second time this week Tennessee has served as a common-sense contrast to Washington, D.C. While House Democrats on Tuesday passed a union boss handout bill that included repeals of state right-to-work laws, Tennessee’s Senate approved a right-to-work constitutional amendment. I am grateful to live in a well-run state, and folks in D.C. should take notes on how to replicate Tennessee’s success.”
