U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina has been awarded an "A+" rating by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF). Graham is among eight senators named to NSSF's inaugural Congressional Dean’s List, which honors members of Congress for their efforts to protect and preserve the Second Amendment during the 118th Congress.
“I am honored to be recognized by NSSF today. It is now more important than ever that we stand up for our right to bear arms, promote responsible gun ownership, and protect America’s licensed gun dealers. I will always fight to preserve the Second Amendment,” stated Senator Graham.
Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President for Government & Public Affairs and General Counsel, commented on the significance of the recognition: “The 2024 NSSF Congressional Report Card is a comprehensive analysis of our elected representatives’ positions on firearm and ammunition industry priorities in the 118th Congress. The Report Card’s grades are based on key votes, co-sponsorships, committee activity, floor speeches, and other official actions by Senators and Members of the U.S. House of Representatives."
Keane continued, "Members of our industry are grateful to have so many strong allies in the Halls of Congress. NSSF is proud to especially recognize Senator Graham as a member of the new NSSF Congressional Dean’s List for his exemplary leadership in supporting the firearm and ammunition industry and the nearly 400,000 hardworking Americans employed in the industry. Making the Dean’s List is special recognition that Senator Graham has gone above and beyond to protect and preserve the Second Amendment rights of his constituents and the industry that makes exercise of those rights possible. We applaud Senator Graham for his exemplary level of support.”
Senator Graham sponsors several legislative efforts including leading the Respect for the Second Amendment Act aimed at making permanent Second Amendment rights for law-abiding Americans. He also introduced legislation targeting thefts from federally licensed gun dealers known as the Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) Protection Act of 2023.
