Rep. Roy Responds to President Biden's Call for More Gun Control in Wake of Colorado Shooting

I issued the following statement Tuesday in response to President Biden's call to ban so-called "assault weapons" and "high capacity" magazines:

All killers — regardless of race — should be punished to the fullest extent of the law, as I said last week to the wailing and gnashing of teeth of leftists and blue check mark hand-wringers. I stand by it unapologetically, just as I stand by my unequivocal admonition to the Biden administration not to even think about touching my guns and the Second Amendment rights of my fellow Texans. 

While Democrats defund our police and throw open our borders for cartels and criminals to exploit, the last thing anyone should do is take away Americans' right to defend themselves; as the founders wrote, that right shall not be infringed.
