NRA-PVF Endorses Sam Brownback for Governor of Kansas
Monday, September 27, 2010
Fairfax, Va. - The National Rifle Association Political Victory
Fund (NRA-PVF) is endorsing Sam Brownback for Kansas Governor.
"The National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund supports
Sam Brownback because he is a champion and staunch defender of the
Second Amendment freedoms of law-abiding Kansas gun owners," said
Chris W. Cox, chairman of NRA-PVF. "As a U.S. senator, Sam has
proven time and again to be a trustworthy and effective defender of
our gun rights, and I know those same qualities will serve him well
as governor."
During his time in the U.S. Senate, Sam Brownback has sponsored
or co-sponsored many pieces of pro-gun legislation, including bills
to: curb bogus lawsuits against gun manufacturers; force reform at
the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives;
and restore Second Amendment rights to residents of our nation's
capital through both the D.C. Personal Protection Act and the
Second Amendment Enforcement Act. Brownback has also voted for
bills to: allow reciprocity between states for concealed carry;
prevent the confiscation of firearms and ammunition from
law-abiding citizens during a state of emergency; and allow
law-abiding permit holders to carry in national parks and
refuges.
Brownback has also demonstrated his commitment to protecting the
Second Amendment by signing the pro-gun congressional
amicus brief to the Supreme Court supporting our
individual right to keep and bear arms in the Heller case.
Additionally, Brownback signed the pro-gun congressional
amicus brief supporting the Second Amendment's application
to state and local governments in the McDonald case, which
was recently settled by the Supreme Court.
Brownback's support for the Second Amendment has earned him an
"A" rating and the endorsement from NRA-PVF.
"On November 2nd, I urge all Kansas NRA
members, hunters and gun owners to vote Sam Brownback for
Governor," Cox concluded.
