My friend Sam released his latest “2nd Amendment Grades for Pennsylvania’s 2024 Political Candidates” this week: https://ammo.com/2nd-amendment-grades/pennsylvania
As you know, voters in Pennsylvania who care about encouraging legal gun ownership in their state have a choice in 2024:
- Sam and Ammo.com dug into the Second Amendment (2A) stance of federal and state-level candidates in Pennsylvania in battleground districts and high-profile races.
- Grades are due to a candidate’s previous 2A voting record, public statements on their constituents owning firearms, and the candidate’s willingness to focus on 2A issues.
- Grades have been assigned from A to F, just like in school.
Spoiler alert: Several of their grades surprised me as they often found an urban vs. rural divide – not a party-line divide – when it came to a candidate’s 2A stance.
To be honest, this was partially motivated by Everytown’s “Gun Sense” voter education initiative (i.e. propaganda campaign): https://gunsensevoter.org/candidates/. And the fact that the NRA seems to be slow in releasing their grades: https://www.nrapvf.org/grades/pennsylvania/
Let Sam know what you think. If you have any questions about their grades and who they endorsed, just shoot him an email and he’ll be happy to answer any of your questions.
And as always, please give it a share if you think we did a fair job with it: https://ammo.com/2nd-amendment-grades/pennsylvania
