I'm here to fight for your freedoms. And that's why I've introduced a bill to abolish the ATF because they've been overreaching into our second Amendment rights for far too long. And I've pushed also to classify fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction because it is. And in Colorado, almost everyone I talk to knows someone who has unfortunately died from this poison that's flooding across our borders. Thankfully, our borders are becoming more secure, but this is still an issue. (07:11–07:18)
