Fairfax, Va. – On behalf of our five million members across the country, the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) is proud to endorse Tom Cotton for U.S. Senate in Arkansas.
Based on his support of and commitment to the Second Amendment, Cotton has earned an “A” rating from the NRA-PVF in the November 4, 2014 election. An “A” rating is reserved for a solidly pro-gun legislator who has supported the NRA’s position on votes of importance to gun owners.
“Tom Cotton will always stand up for the values and freedoms of Arkansas gun owners and sportsmen,” said Chris W. Cox, chairman of the NRA-PVF. “He has served our country with honor, and will continue to do so representing Arkansas in the U.S. Senate.”
Cotton has strongly opposed the Obama-Bloomberg gun control agenda, including their so-called “universal” background check system that would criminalize the private transfer of a firearm between life-long friends and many family members. Additionally, he opposes Obama’s anti-gun nominees for the U.S. Supreme Court, such as Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. Cotton also opposes any treaty by the United Nations or any other global organization that would impose restrictions on American gun owners.
“We can count on Tom Cotton to stand up for our constitutional freedoms in the U.S. Senate,” added Cox. “On behalf of the NRA’s five million members, I want to thank Tom for his service to our country and his steadfast support of the Second Amendment and urge all NRA members, gun owners and sportsmen in Arkansas to vote Tom Cotton for U.S. Senate on November 4.”
Established in 1871, the National Rifle Association is America's oldest civil rights and sportsmen's group. More than five million members strong, NRA continues to uphold the Second Amendment and advocates enforcement of existing laws against violent offenders to reduce crime. The Association remains the nation's leader in firearm education and training for law-abiding gun owners, law enforcement and the armed services.
