Congressman Michael Cloud (R-Texas) said an essential role of the federal government is to keep its citizenry free and protect civil liberties, which are God-given. Because the Second Amendment is an essential component of that freedom, he is pushing back on the Biden administration’s effort to track every gun purchase.

“You'll hear a lot of people say that the primary job of the federal government is to keep us safe. Well, the primary job of the federal government is actually to keep us free,” Cloud told the host of NTD’s Capitol Report during a recent interview.
