National Rifle Association Endorses Jeff Flake for
U.S. Senate
Flake commended for defense of 2nd Amendment Rights
PHOENIX -- The National Rifle Association today
endorsed Jeff Flake in the general election for United States Senate over
Democrat Richard Carmona.
At an announcement at the Scottsdale Gun Club, NRA CEO
and Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre, speaking on behalf of the NRA's
Political Victory Fund, said:
"Jeff Flake is committed to
protecting the Right to Keep and Bear Arms guaranteed to all Americans. Because
of his strong dedication and voting record, he has earned an "A" rating and
endorsement from the NRA-PVF."
"Growing up in rural Arizona, I appreciate firearm
ownership and the need to protect Second Amendment rights," said Jeff Flake. "As
America's foremost defender of the Second Amendment, I appreciate the NRA's
support."
The NRA endorsed Jeff Flake in the Republican primary
election and urged its members, gun owners, and sportsmen in Arizona to support
Jeff. They did, and Flake won the primary with 70 percent of the total
vote.
In Congress, Flake has a solid and consistent record
of support for Second Amendment rights and responsible pro-gun legislation,
earning an "A" rating from the NRA-PVF. It's a record that he will continue in
the Senate.
Jeff Flake sponsored H.R. 3440, the "Recreational
Shooting Protection Act," to prevent a ban on recreational shooting on Bureau of
Land Management lands nationwide. His 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.
