Roger Williams champions the Second Amendment, viewing the right to bear arms as a constitutional liberty. He opposes government regulations that infringe upon these rights, specifically universal background checks, buy-backs, assault weapons bans, and red flag laws. He voted against enhanced background checks (H.R. 8 and H.R. 1112), considering them burdensome to law-abiding citizens. Additionally, he introduced the Equal Shot Act of 2025 to prevent the Small Business Administration from discriminating against firearm-related businesses.

“I will forever be a champion for the Second Amendment – the right of law-abiding citizens to bear arms is a Constitutional liberty that we must protect. That's why I proudly oppose all government regulations that infringe upon your rights and oppose universal background checks, buy-backs, assault weapons bans, and red flag laws. - Roger Williams, 'Second Amendment' section, williams.house.gov/issues”
