Baird | B001307 | baird.house.gov | baird | https://baird.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 | scraper | Today, Congressman Jim Baird (IN-04) released the following statement: “It is my sworn duty to protect our Constitutional rights and to consider policy to protect our communities, too,” said Congressman Baird. "Unfortunately, I don’t believe this legislation would prevent future firearm-related tragedies like the ones we’ve recently experienced, but I do believe it would infringe on law-abiding citizens’ right to bear arms.” "As the Supreme Court reminded us this week, the ‘right to bear arms…is not a “second-class right, subject to an entirely different body of rules…'" I appreciate the improved mental health resources provided by this legislation to our schools and communities. However, I cannot support imposing a more cumbersome system on law-abiding citizens, particularly on adults under age 21, preventing them from exercising their Second Amendment rights.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:39:01Z |
