The Arkansas Sheriff's Association releases statement concerning the 2nd Amendment

 

 

The Arkansas Sheriff’s Association supports the Constitution and the 2nd Amendment rights of our citizens.  We recognize the recent increase in violence and mass shootings have raised questions relating to the sale and possession of firearms.  The Arkansas Sheriff’s Association further believes that we must hold offenders responsible, not law abiding citizens.

The Arkansas Sheriff’s Association does support enforcement of the existing gun laws and the strengthening of current back ground checks including identifying individuals with mental health issues.  The Arkansas Sheriff’s Association does not support legislation that restricts current gun possession and current gun sales to our citizens that weakens our 2nd Amendment Rights.
