While many D.C. liberals and Big Tech conglomerates are ready to abandon our Bill of Rights because of the extremists who violate our nation’s most foundational laws, I remain committed to protecting the unalienable rights in our Constitution. Our First Amendment right to free speech should apply everywhere—including all internet platforms—and the federal government should not strip law-abiding gun owners of our right to bear arms because of a few unstable lunatics.
