John Cornyn has always defended our gun rights in Congress!
John Cornyn knows that the Second Amendment isn't subject to negotiation, because our right to defend ourselves is the cornerstone of our democracy. He also knows that the extreme agenda pushed by gun control groups will make us less safe, less free and turn law-abiding gun owners into criminals for simply exercising their rights.
Senator John Cornyn has a proven record of support for the Second Amendment and will continue to oppose all attempts to ban lawfully-owned firearms and magazines. He will continue to stand strong against President Obama and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s gun control agenda.
For these reasons and more, John Cornyn has earned our endorsement and an "A+" rating from NRA-PVF:
