WASHINGTON, DC – Friday, Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) released a statement after voting no on the Democrats’ attempt to strip the Second Amendment:

Rep. August Pfluger: “I am opposed to any infringement on the Second Amendment. In the long history of mankind, freedom and liberty are not lost overnight – it comes by way of the slow and gradual burn. We’ve seen an assault on the First Amendment through the legacy media and social media giants censoring the thoughts and opinions of individuals on the Right, while propping up their favorite candidates and covering up stories that could be detrimental to their public personas. Policies are then implemented that are anti-religious freedom, anti-due process, anti-free assembly and today anti-the right to keep and bear arms. These rights shall not be infringed. Instead of making families and communities safer, this backward gun-grabbing attempt does nothing to harden school security, address our nation’s mental health crisis, or reverse the deprecation of our morals and values. We must protect our Constitutional Rights.”
