Lee Bright on Gun Control

Opposes more gun restrictions

Bright: Strongly Disagree

Constitutional Carry Amendment: no permits needed

Lee Bright strongly believes that the Constitution should be taken literally when it says that our right to bear arms "shall not be infringed". This means that the government has no authority to prohibit the free exercise of this liberty, which is why Lee proposed his Constitutional Carry Amendment. This bill would allow S.C. citizens to protect themselves at all times without the need to ask the government for permission first. Other states that allow guns to be carried in public have seen drops in crime rates, while states that enforce strict gun laws see a noticeable rise in crime. Other pro-Second Amendment bills sponsored by Lee include the Firearms Freedom Act, Firearms Liberty Act, along with many others that promote the rights of gun owners.
