Congressman Alex X. Mooney Votes to Protect the Second Amendment
Today, Congressman Alex X. Mooney (WV-2) voted in favor of H.R. 38, the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act to ensure that law abiding gun owners can transport their weapons across state lines. Congressman Mooney is also a cosponsor of the bill and released the following statement:
“When I was elected to serve the people of the Second District of West Virginia, I made a promise to my constituents that I would protect their Second Amendment rights. Today’s vote is a fulfilment of that promise.
For too long, law abiding gun owners have had their constitutional right to keep and bear arms hindered by government bureaucrats. This is a commonsense bill would implement concealed carry reciprocity in XX states.
As a gun owner, right-to-carry permit holder, and recipient of a lifetime A+ NRA rating, I am fighting every day to protect our Second Amendment rights from Democratic attempts to pass ideological gun-control policies that make law-abiding citizens less free and less safe. The Constitution is clear that “…the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
