NRA-PVF Endorses Zack Space for U.S. House of Representatives in Ohio’s 18th Congressional District
Friday, September 24, 2010
Fairfax, Va. -- The National Rifle Association Political Victory
Fund (NRA-PVF) is endorsing Zack Space for re-election to the U.S.
House of Representatives in Ohio's 18th Congressional
District.
"The NRA-PVF is endorsing Zack Space because he has
been a defender of the Second Amendment freedoms of
law-abiding gun owners, hunters and sportsmen in Ohio and across
America," said Chris W. Cox, chairman of the NRA-PVF.
As a member of Congress, Space has
demonstrated his commitment to our Second Amendment
rights by cosponsoring 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 Heller case.
Additionally, he is the lead sponsor of legislation to force
much-needed reform of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives and cosponsored the National
Right-to-Carry Reciprocity amendment, which would provide a
national standard for carrying concealed firearms. Space also
signed a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder opposing
re-enactment of the failed 1994 ban on semi-automatic firearms and
ammunition magazines.
Furthermore, Space voted for an amendment that ensures access to
federally-owned or administered lands for hunting, fishing,
trapping and recreational shooting, as well as an amendment that
allows carry permit holders to carry concealed in national parks
and wildlife refuges. Most recently, he signed the pro-gun
congressional amicus brief arguing that the Second Amendment
guarantees a fundamental right that protects all Americans in the
McDonald case.
Zack Space's commitment to preserving our right to keep and bear
arms has earned him an "A+" rating and the endorsement of the
NRA-PVF.
"On November 2nd, I urge all Ohio NRA Members and gun owners in
the 18th District to vote Zack Space for Congress," Cox
concluded.
