We, at Ammo.com, released our “2nd Amendment Grades for Alabama’s 2024 Political Candidates” this week: https://ammo.com/2nd-amendment-grades/alabama
As you know, voters in Alabama who care about encouraging legal gun ownership in their state have a choice in 2024:
- We dug into the Second Amendment (2A) stance of federal and state-level candidates in Alabama 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 our grades surprised me as we 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/alabama
Let me know what you think. If you have any questions about our grades and who we endorsed, just shoot me an email and I’ll be happy to answer any.
And as always, please give it a share if you think we did a fair job with it: https://ammo.com/2nd-amendment-grades/alabama
