Unlike his predecessors, Jeff Sessions knows that law-abiding gun owners are not the problem

Jeff Sessions has been a staunch defender of second amendment rights his entire career in the U.S. Senate, amassing a sterling voting record in favor of gun rights while consistently taking a leadership role to defend America’s law-abiding gun owners against efforts to enact gun control. 

• He has championed enforcement of existing federal gun laws and enhanced prosecution of violent criminals who misuse firearms
  
• consistently challenged the drop in federal prosecutions under the Clinton and Obama administrations
• has been a vocal opponent of increased gun control after the Columbine and Everytown tragedies, citing again the need for greater prosecutions of existing gun laws, not more gun control
• a leader in protecting the gun industry against junk lawsuits with passage of the PLCAA
• As ranking member on Senate Judiciary, Sessions led efforts to oppose Senate confirmation of Sotomayor and Kagan to the U.S. Supreme Court
• has continued to lead NRA’s efforts to oppose ratification of the UN Arms Trade Treaty (ATT)
• has voted consistently in favor of the right of self-defense for law-abiding citizens, including expansion of RTC to national parks, RTC reciprocity legislation, and arming pilots after the 911 attacks
• has uniformly rejected expanded gun control, including UBCs, AW bans, and high-cap mag bans
