Flake’s “solid
and consistent” voting record cited
PHOENIX
– The
Political Victory Fund of America’s foremost defender of the Second Amendment --
the National Rifle Association -- has endorsed Jeff Flake in the Republican
primary election for United States Senate. In a letter announcing its
endorsement, NRA Political Victory Fund Director of Federal Affairs, James
Baker, wrote:
“On behalf of our four
million members nationwide, the National Rifle Association Political Victory
Fund (NRA-PVF) is proud to endorse you in the Arizona Republican primary for
U.S. Senate on August 28, 2012.
Based on your solid and consistent
pro-gun voting record, you have earned an “A” rating from the
NRA-PVF.
“In the 112th Congress, you voted for H.R. 822, “The
National Right to Carry Reciprocity Act,” one of the most important pieces of
pro-gun legislation to come before the Congress.
This bill would ensure law-abiding Americans with a valid concealed
handgun license would be able to carry their concealed firearm in any other
state that does not prohibit concealed
carry.
“In addition, you sponsored H.R. 3440, the “Recreational Shooting
Protection Act,” to prevent a ban on recreational shooting on Bureau of Land
Management lands nationwide. This bill
was included in a legislative package, H.R. 4089, the “Sportsmen’s Heritage Act
of 2012,” that favorably passed the House of Representatives 274-146. H.R. 4089 is a compilation of legislation
meant to ensure the rights of hunters and recreational shooters are not further
eroded. Among many key improvements, the
bill directs Federal land management agencies to facilitate the expansion and
enhancement of hunting on Federal lands, and ensures sound scientific management
of wildlife and habitat.
“Again, thank you for your
unwavering support for the Second Amendment.
We urge our members, gun owners
and sportsmen in Arizona to vote for you in the upcoming August 28th
Republican primary. Good luck this
year, and we look forward to our continued
relationship.”
The NRA-PVF’s endorsement is another major voice of support for
Arizona’s battle-tested conservative, Jeff Flake. Jeff is additionally supported by conservative
leaders and
organizations throughout Arizona and the nation,
including: Governors Sarah Palin and Bobby Jindal; Congressman
Paul Ryan; U.S. Senators Jon Kyl, Jim DeMint, John McCain, Pat Toomey, and Mike
Lee; the National
Taxpayers Union, Arizona Right to Life, the Club For Growth, and FreedomWorks
for America; Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever and Maricopa
County Attorney Bill Montgomery; the North
Scottsdale, Chandler, and Lake Havasu Chambers of Commerce; as well as
hundreds of local elected and community leaders throughout Arizona. See
