The NRA cited Rep. Mo Brooks’ voting record in Congress supporting gun rights as the basis for its support, earning him an ‘A’ rating from the group.
Durant, a Huntsville business executive and former Army aviator, said after his 2011 comments came to light that they were “mischaracterized” and “misunderstood.” He said he is a staunch supporter of the 2nd Amendment.
“On behalf of our five million members across the country, the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund endorses your candidacy for the U.S. Senate in the May 24, 2022, Republican primary election in Alabama,” the NRA said in a statement. “Based on your consistent and proven voting record on Second Amendment issues in the U.S. House of Representatives, you have earned an ‘A’ rating from NRA-PVF.
“Furthermore, you voted in favor of Right-to-Carry reciprocity legislation, which would ensure that millions of law-abiding Americans who can carry a concealed firearm in their home state are able to do so in any other state that does not prohibit concealed carry. You also sponsored and voted for legislation that would uphold protections for the lawful interstate transportation of firearms and ammunition.
“An ‘AQ’ rating is reserved for a pro-gun candidate whose rating is based on the candidate’s responses to the NRA-PVF candidate questionnaire, as well as public statements, and is the highest rating a candidate can receive without a voting record on Second Amendment issues,” the NRA said in a letter to Britt.
