WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Republican Leadership Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (NY-21) released the following statement after securing provisions from the Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act in the government spending package to protect veterans from losing their Second Amendment rights without due process.
"Veterans and servicemembers deserve our support in return for their selfless dedication to upholding America’s safety and security.
