Hoeven Statement on Senate Gun Control Legislation

WASHINGTON – Senator John Hoeven issued the following statement after opposing legislation in the Senate that would infringe on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens: 

“I believe we need to do more to secure our schools but I am concerned that the red flag provisions in the Murphy/Cornyn bill will unfairly infringe on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens, which is why I voted against it. Also, that’s why I have cosponsored the Safe Schools Act which provides additional resources for school security, training for law enforcement, better enforcement of our current laws, and more mental health resources.”
