Love Supports Gun Rights, Background Check Bill | 2017-12-06 | 2017 | 2017-12 | Republican | House | UT | Mia Love | L000584 | love.house.gov | legacy | Here is a statement from Rep. Love on passage of H.R. 38: “Today, I voted for a bipartisan bill that strengthens public safety and protects Americans’ Constitutional Rights. H.R. 38, the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, ensures law-abiding citizens’ Second Amendment rights don’t end when they cross state lines. It also updates the background check reporting requirements for states to better ensure anyone with a criminal background can’t obtain a firearm permit.” “The Supreme Court ruled that self-defense is ‘the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation’. Law abiding citizens should be allowed to carry to another state, if they have passed the permit process in their home state. At the same time, people with certain criminal or certain mental health histories should not be allowed to have a permit, which is why it’s important to strengthen background checks.” “In light of recent cruel attacks, this bill is a critical update to our laws when it comes to firearms and our Second Amendment Rights.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
