The National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund has endorsed on-the-ropes incumbent Democrat Chris Carney in Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District over Republican challenger Tom Marino, who is also a staunch defender of the 2nd Amendment and who, unlike Carney, has never voted for Nancy Pelosi to lead the House of Representatives.
The NRA-PVF cites as reasons for its endorsement Carney’s co-sponsorship of the National Right-to Carry Reciprocity amendment, support of reforms to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and a letter he wrote to Attorney General Eric Holder expressing his opposition to Holder’s plan to re-enact the failed 1994 ban on semi-automatic firearms and ammunition magazines.
“Chris Carney is a solid defender of the Second Amendment who will stand up for the rights of gun owners in Pennsylvania”, said Chris W. Cox, chairman of the NRA-PVF.
It’s a bit of good news for Carney whose advertising, along with that of Paul Kanjorski of the adjacent 11th District, has been triaged away by the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee.
