After a string of attacks on pro-life pregnancy-support centers across the country, seven Republican members of North Carolina’s congressional delegation signed a letter to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate the attacks as domestic terrorism. U.S. Reps. Ted Budd, Patrick McHenry, Greg Murphy, Madison Cawthorn, Richard Hudson, Virginia Foxx, and David Rouzer all signed the letter.
Rep. Richard Hudson, R-NC8, posted a message on Twitter drawing attention to the letter and saying “This violence must end.”
WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – Lawmakers are debating ways to prevent more mass shootings. While Democrats push for gun control, Republicans are directing their efforts toward school safety.
One of the proposals on the table is from Rep. Richard Hudson, a Republican from North Carolina.
“The American people want us to do something,” Hudson said. “House Republicans have said we want to do something that matters.”
With House Democrats having passed a sweeping gun reform package Wednesday and senators working on an elusive compromise, House Republicans are on a totally different page — sounding the alarm on attempts to “destroy the Second Amendment.”
“You better believe I am going to have a way to protect myself. I will continue to carry,” Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) pledged, calling it her “great equalizer.”
ROCKINGHAM — A Congressman who once represented Richmond County — and aims to again — is proposing to add more resource officers and mental health resources at schools across the country.
Republican U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson on Tuesday filed the STOP II, Secure Every School and Protect our Nation’s Children Act.
The House passed a sweeping gun package on Wednesday in response to last month’s mass shootings in Buffalo, N.Y., and Uvalde, Texas, that killed more than 30 people and reignited the push for firearm legislation on Capitol Hill.
The package, dubbed the Protecting Our Kids Act, passed in a 223-204 vote. One Republican did not vote.
The House on Wednesday endorsed some of the most aggressive gun-control measures taken up on Capitol Hill in years — including raising the minimum age for the purchase of most semiautomatic rifles to 21 and banning high-capacity ammunition magazines — as Washington seeks to mount a tough response to recent high-profile mass shootings.
Rep. Richard Hudson of North Carolina, a member of House Republican leadership, on Wednesday blasted Democrats for calling a fourth grader who survived the Uvalde shooting and a mother of one of the victims of the Buffalo grocery store shooting to testify before the House Oversight and Reform Committee.
RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) – A new bill going through the U.S. House of Representatives is aiming to add additional school resource officers and mental health counselors in schools.
The “Secure Every Schools and Protect Our Nation’s Children Act” was introduced Tuesday by U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson (NC-8).
“I’m a father of an elementary school child and so every time we have a shooting it’s just devastating for me, and I can only imagine what the parents are going through,” said Hudson.
The legislation would provide $7 billion to protect schools.
Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC) spoke exclusively to Breitbart News Sunday, noting that he is putting forward legislation this week get funds in the hands of local school districts to enable them to make the best decisions for school safety.
His legislation is the “Secure Every School and Protect Our Nation’s Children Act of 2022.” The bill’s short title is “Stop II Act of 2022.”
GREENSBORO, N.C. (WGHP) – The Triad’s representatives in Congress and the U.S. Senate are taking varying positions about how lawmakers should respond to another tragic school shooting in Texas – and mass shootings in general.
But, as you might predict, those variances are pretty much along political lines, with Democrats talking about stricter access to guns and even outright bans and Republicans disdaining those positions and saying, when it comes to schools, making them more armed and less penetrable are the keys.
