The recent violence in this country has caused many people to
voice their opinions on gun rights and gun control. The debate has caused
many divisions over what is right or what is wrong with both the present gun
laws and those that have been “proposed.”
I have received many phone calls and e-mails requesting my stance on the matter, and it is as follows:
I believe in both the Second and Fourth Amendments:
Amendment II: "...The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
Amendment IV: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons,
houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall
not be violated..."
When I took the oath of office on January 1, 2013, I swore to
protect, preserve and defend the constitution and laws of the United States and
of this great state. I served as Justice of the Peace in Liberty County for 14
years. I took the same oath for those years also. I am an
instructor for the NRA. I am a member of the Sheriff’s Association of
Texas. The Liberty County Sheriff’s Office is a lifetime member of the
Houston 100 Club. I promise that I will work to support the law abiding
citizens in Liberty County of these constitutional rights to keep and bear
arms.
Bobby Rader, Sheriff
