Len Britton on Gun Control

 


Kudos to the Supreme Court for standing by our 2nd Amendment

I agree wholeheartedly with Justice Alito who wrote "It is clear that the Framers counted the right to keep and bear arms among those fundamental rights necessary to our system of ordered liberty". I've heard loud and clear from many Vermonters how important our 2nd Amendment is, kudos to the Supreme Court for standing by a core principle of our freedom."

Britton scores AQ by NRA on pro-gun rights policies

While widely recognized today as a major political force and as America's foremost defender of Second Amendment rights, the National Rifle Association (NRA) has, since its inception, been the premier firearms education organization in the world. But our successes would not be possible without the tireless efforts and countless hours of service our nearly three million members have given to champion Second Amendment rights and support NRA programs.

The following ratings are based on lifetime voting records on gun issues and the results of a questionaire sent to all Congressional candidates; the NRA assigned a letter grade (with A+ being the highest and F being the lowest).
