Issue Position: 2nd Amendment

Issue Position

My opponent, Nita Lowey, is one of the worst "gun grabbers" in Congress with an "F" Rating from the NRA, as reported by On The Issues. She has consistently voted to restrict our constitutional right to bear arms and was a co-sponsor of the Assault Weapons Ban Reauthorization Act of 2007, which I would repeal.

As reported by OpenCongress.org:

Nita Lowey cosponsored H.R. 1312 (Assault Weapons Ban and Law Enforcement Protection Act of 2005) on June 17, 2005.[2]

Nita Lowey cosponsored H.R. 1022 (Assault Weapons Ban Reauthorization Act of 2007) on March 15, 2007.[3]

"While widely recognized today as a major political force and as America's foremost defender of Second Amendment rights, the National Rifle Association (NRA) has, since its inception, been the premier firearms education organization in the world. But our successes would not be possible without the tireless efforts and countless hours of service our nearly three million members have given to champion Second Amendment rights and support NRA programs. Nita Lowey scores an "F' on pro-gun rights policies," Nita Lowey on Gun Control as reported by On The Issues.

Gun Owners of America give Nita Lowey a score of "F minus" on pro-gun rights.

Gun Owners of America give Jim Russell a score of "A" on pro-gun rights.
