NRA-PVF Endorses David Davis for U.S. House of Representatives

Monday, June 23, 2008

FAIRFAX, VA-The National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) is endorsing Congressman David Davis for re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives in the first congressional district of Tennessee.

"During his tenure in the House, Congressman Davis has consistently supported the constitutional rights of law-abiding gun owners and sportsmen, and demonstrated a strong commitment to the Second Amendment and our country's rich hunting heritage," said Chris W. Cox. "Because of his unwavering pro-gun support, David Davis earned an 'A' rating and an endorsement from NRA-PVF."

"I am honored to receive this endorsement from the National Rifle Association, America's preeminent advocate for Second Amendment rights," said Congressman Davis. "I will work with them to ensure that every law-abiding citizen will always have the right to keep and bear arms."

Rep. Davis cosponsored the BATFE Reform bill that seeks to curb frivolous lawsuits against gun manufacturers for gun-related harm caused by criminals and cosponsored the D.C. Gun Ban Repeal. He also signed on to the historic Congressional amicus brief in the case of Heller v. District of Columbia, holding that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms.

Cox continued, "David Davis believes in Tennessee values, and will continue to be a true and consistent friend in the U.S. House of Representatives. I encourage all gun-owners and NRA members to re-elect David Davis to the U.S. Congress."

Chris W. Cox serves as Executive Director and Chairman of NRA-PVF. The National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund is responsible for political candidate rankings. These are based on candidate voting records, public statements and responses to NRA-PVF questionnaires.
