NRA Endorses Karen Handel in Georgia’s 6th District Special Election

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 Karen Handel in the special election for U.S. House of Representatives in Georgia’s 6^th Congressional District.  Based on her strong support for the Second Amendment, Handel has earned an “A” rating from the NRA-PVF.

"Karen Handel supports our Right to Keep and Bear Arms,” said Chris W. Cox, chairman of the NRA-PVF. “She has fought for the values and freedoms that Georgians hold dear. In Congress, she will defend our right to protect ourselves and our families.”

Handel’s Second Amendment record includes:

• Supporting concealed carry reciprocity legislation, which would ensure that millions of Americans with concealed carry permits can defend themselves everywhere they have the right to be – not just in their home state.
• Opposing all attempts to ban lawfully-owned firearms, magazines, and ammunition.
• Standing strong against the gun control agenda of New York City billionaire Michael Bloomberg, Chuck Schumer, and Nancy Pelosi.
• Opposing so-called “universal” background check systems, which would criminalize private firearms transfers and lead to the creation of a federal gun registry.
• Supporting a repeal of Obama-era policies that deny Second Amendment rights to millions of veterans and seniors

“We're asking every freedom-loving Georgian in the Sixth District to vote Karen Handel for Congress in the June 20^th special election”, concluded Cox.
