Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3) released the below statement on this week’s vote on House Democrats’ misguided gun control legislation. Womack voted to defend the Second Amendment rights of Arkansans and Americans:

“Horrific acts of violence will not be stopped by stripping responsible, law-abiding citizens of their constitutional rights. We need meaningful solutions that actually make our communities safer and prevent evil acts. Our focus needs to be on hardening schools, supporting mental health, expanding information sharing, and proactively identifying and halting threats. We can address these fundamental issues and restore the soul of our nation without chipping away at the Bill of Rights. I hope the Senate bill will recognize these truths.”

Congressman Womack is committed to enacting real solutions that enhance public safety. He helped introduce the STOP II, Secure Every School and Protect our Nation’s Children Act this week.

Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3) has represented Arkansas’s Third Congressional District since 2011. He is a member of the House Appropriations Committee.
