NRA-PVF Endorses Chris Carney for U.S. House of Representatives in Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District
Friday, September 17, 2010
Fairfax, Va. - The National Rifle Association
Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) is endorsing Rep. Chris Carney for
re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives in Pennsylvania's
10th Congressional District this
November.
"Chris Carney is a solid defender of the Second
Amendment who will stand up for the rights of gun owners in
Pennsylvania", said Chris W. Cox, chairman of the
NRA-PVF.
During his tenure in Congress, Chris Carney has
demonstrated a proven and consistent commitment to our Second
Amendment rights by voting for legislation to restore self-defense
rights in our nation's capital, as well as signing the pro-gun
congressional amicus brief to the Supreme Court supporting our
individual right to keep and bear arms in the historic
Heller case. He also signed the pro-gun congressional
amicus brief arguing that the Second Amendment guarantees a
fundamental right that protects all Americans in the
McDonald case.
Carney cosponsored the National Right-to-Carry
Reciprocity amendment, which would extend federal protection of
state right-to-carry licenses and permits across the country, in
addition to cosponsoring legislation that would reform the Bureau
of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms. He also signed a letter to
Attorney General Eric Holder expressing his strong opposition to
re-enacting the failed 1994 ban on semi-automatic firearms and
ammunition magazines.
Chris Carney's commitment to preserving our Second
Amendment rights and hunting heritage has earned him an "A" rating
and endorsement from the NRA-PVF.
"We ask all gun owners and hunters in Pennsylvania's
10th District to vote Chris Carney for Congress this
November 2nd."
