After completing his active military service, Andrew homesteaded in Athens and decided to pursue a master’s degree from UGA in Corporate Finance and Entrepreneurship. In 1991 he started a small firearms business called Clyde Armory.

As a nation, we are overtaxed. If Americans are to truly be free, we must drastically decrease taxes and the size of the government those taxes fund. Andrew's tax plan would be simple: 1. Eliminate graduated taxes and implement a FairTax system [H.R.25] 2. Stop taxation on the production of goods [pass H.R. 25] 3. Dismantle the IRS [pass H.R. 25]

So, we have a lot of ground to recover, ground that has been lost to gun-grabbing, liberal politicians who have no respect for our God-given, inalienable, constitutional right to keep and bear arms. I will NOT give an inch on the Second Amendment, and I will be the point of the spear in taking back what we have lost and help to ensure we never lose it again.

So the question needs to be asked, “How can a Constitutional right be taxed?” If it can be taxed then it is no longer an inalienable right but only a privilege to be enjoyed only by those who can afford to pay the tax. In 1819, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court stated that the "power to tax includes the power to destroy." So, If the Second Amendment can be legally taxed, then it can be taxed out of existence by raising the tax so high that no average citizen can afford it. This would effectively eliminate the right to keep and bear arms.

In 2016 The United States District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands in Murphy v. Guerrero struck down the Mariana Islands' $1,000 tax on handguns as unconstitutional stating that “The Second Amendment protects the right to armed self-defense, which includes the right to acquire such arms……The reason is simple: without the arms, the right would be useless….The principle that a court must protect constitutional rights from extinction by means both direct and indirect has a significant pedigree with the Supreme Court.”

Congress has the authority to govern within the 18 articles outlined in the U.S. Constitution. Federal departments or funding for projects that fall outside of those 18 articles, should be eliminated. The Department of Education must go. The Environmental Protection Agency must go. These functions should be left to the States, and you should keep more of your tax dollars.

6). Remove the interstate ban on purchasing a handgun. If I can purchase a rifle or shotgun in any state of the union, then why can I not purchase a handgun in any state? This is another chink made in the armor of our “right to keep and bear arms”, just another infringement, and must be repaired by deregulating/eliminating the restrictions on the interstate purchase of handguns.

Every numbered U.S. House roll call published by the Clerk during the configured service window is reconciled through the member's exact Bioguide ID. Clerk XML through 2002 does not publish Bioguide IDs, so those rows require a candidate-specific official House identity and service bridge plus one unique exact published-name, party, and state tuple. A published roll without an identity-safe row is retained as an explicit source omission and is not labeled as a vote or absence. Voice votes and other actions without member-level roll calls are outside this archive.
