U.S. Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins
(MSC News)--Restoring the right to bear arms for military members at work at recruiting centers is the idea behind legislation introduced in the U.S. House.
Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins says she is co-sponsoring the SEMPER FI Act, made necessary following the recent shooting deaths of five service members in Tennessee.
“I am proud to be a cosponsor of the SEMPER FI Act, that was introduced yesterday, to give recruiting centers the option for officers to carry a weapon or have outside security provided. We have the finest military in the world, and we must empower our armed forces with the right to defend themselves and us.”
The Kansas Republican voiced her support for the act during a press conference held Wednesday.
One of the five killed July 16th has ties to Kansas, with flags flying at half-staff across the state through Saturday in honor of 26-year-old Navy Petty Officer Randall Smith.
