NRA-PVF Endorses Ed Martin for U.S. House of Representatives in Missouri's 3rd Congressional District

Tuesday, September 07, 2010

Fairfax, Va. - The National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) is endorsing Ed Martin for election to the U.S. House of Representatives for District 3 in Missouri this November.

"The NRA-PVF is endorsing Ed Martin because we know he will be a staunch defender of the Second Amendment freedoms of law-abiding gun owners, hunters and sportsmen in Missouri and across America," said Chris W. Cox, chairman of NRA-PVF.

Ed Martin's commitment to preserving the Second Amendment has earned him an "AQ" rating and the endorsement of NRA-PVF.

Martin supports national right-to-carry reciprocity and efforts to reform the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. He also opposes reenacting the Clinton gun and magazine ban and believes sportsmen should have access to federally-owned or administered lands for hunting, fishing, trapping and recreational shooting.

"Ed Martin will be a strong voice in fighting ongoing efforts by anti-gun politicians to dismantle the Second Amendment," Cox concluded. "We ask all Missouri gun-owners and hunters to elect Ed Martin to the U.S. House on November 2nd."

Chris W. Cox is NRA's chief lobbyist. He also serves as 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.
