Davis a write-in candidate for United States Congress (R-California) today released the following statement on the Senate's votes on the National Defense Authorization Act IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES APRIL 12, 2016 Mr. THORNBERRY (for himself and Mr. SMITH of Washington) (both by request) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Armed Services. 

​

We should have a moment of silence for the victims - immediately followed by a vote to close the loophole that allows people on the terror watch list to buy assault rifles - or any weapon. This isn't politics; it's common sense.

​

In the weeks to come, we should not be afraid to ask why, when an AR-15 assault rifle is the one thing that's common to Orlando, San Bernardino and Newtown, we allow these deadly weapons to be freely available? And why is every gun purchaser isn't subject to a background check? We must fight terrorism. And stand with the LGBT community. And do something to stem the horrific tide of gun violence.

​

We must do all of it. Now. For Orlando.

I'm not a Member of Congress but a candidate and a student at Southwestern College in Chula Vista, California, my thoughts and prayers go out to the families, the city of ‪‎Orlando this is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices men and women on the battlefield are making every day and at home. My mission is to teach other people to be law-abiding [END statement]

Richard H. Davis' Statement on the Senate’s Votes on Gun Control Legislation

Washington, D.C.- Richard H. Davis a write-in candidate for United States Congress (R-California) today released the following statement on the Senate's votes on gun control legislation:

​

Last week, a radical Islamic terrorist took the lives of 49 innocent people in the deadliest terrorist attack in the United States since September 11th, yet Senate Democrats seem more interested in political games than protecting our national security. The bills they put forward would have done nothing to prevent the Orlando terrorist attack. And they would do nothing to deter those planning future attacks against the United States. If their intentions matched their rhetoric, they would have supported the common-sense bills offered by Senators Cornyn and Grassley today that make us safer and keep our constitutional rights intact. The largest and most pressing threat against Americans is drugs and bad guys who use guns. Disarming law-abiding citizens and trampling on their Second Amendment rights to defend themselves is the exact wrong response to terrorist attacks and violent criminals. Instead, President Obama and Senate Democrats should develop a real national security strategy to fight and defeat ISIS overseas and to protect Californians and Americans from the barbaric ideology of radical Islamic extremists. When violence strikes our community, we must stand together in solidarity with those whose lives have been forever changed - fifty families who now have a hole that will never be filled, and over fifty more whose injuries and trauma will affect them from this day forward. I'm not a Member of Congress but a candidate and a student at Southwestern College in Chula Vista, California, my thoughts and prayers go out to the families, the city of ‪‎Orlando this is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices men and women on the battlefield are making every day and at home.
