Neal Dunn: Second Amendment 'Under Attack' from Obama

Running for the Republican nomination to challenge U.S. Rep. Gwen Graham, D-Fla., Dr. Neal Dunn stressed his support for the Second Amendment on Tuesday and his opposition to President Barack Obama’s executive orders implementing more gun control measures.  

“President Obama’s unilateral, executive actions today show the disdain he has for the Second Amendment,” Dunn insisted. “The rights of law-abiding gun owners have never been under greater attack than they are today from this administration.  Americans should be greatly alarmed by the president’s actions, which violate the constitutional principles of separation of powers, erode our constitutional freedoms and greatly demonstrate the need to have a constitutional conservative as our next president.

“The ‘right to bear arms’ is one of the most fundamental and important rights in the Constitution and needs to be protected,” Dunn added. “As a supporter of the NRA and a veteran, I cherish this right and will fight each and every day to protect and uphold the Second Amendment.”

Dunn faces Tallahassee attorney Mary Thomas in the Republican primary. After the latest round of redistricting, Republicans have the edge in this North Florida district.
