Dear Georgian,

The right to bear arms is the constitutional right of every American, but each year, the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) denies thousands of law-abiding citizens their right due to clerical errors in their system's record.

That's why I cosponsored the Firearm Due Process Protection Act, which gives Americans the ability to seek a court judgment to correct invalid information if the FBI does not act on an appeal within the two-month deadline.

This will help ensure that law-abiding Americans who were improperly denied the ability to legally purchase a firearm because of administrative errors made during a background check have a path back to their Second Amendment right.

As always, my staff and I are here to help. If you need assistance with a federal agency or have comments or concerns to share with me, please do not hesitate to call my Warner Robins, Tifton, or Washington, D.C. offices. To receive frequent updates, I encourage you to visit my website, like my Facebook page, follow me on YouTube, and follow me on X.

Keep reading for the full update.

Sincerely,

It is always great to hear directly from our farmers about what support they need from Congress to help them continue to produce the fiber we depend on.

"Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., declared that he’s committed to opposing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine for the remainder of his term, and House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., has pitched a novel approach to continue funding the war effort — but Republican holdouts in both chambers may still derail the efforts of leadership to secure a new aid package."
