Another reason to vote for Conor Lamb- NRA endorses Rick Saccone

“Rick Saccone is a proven supporter of the Second Amendment,” said NRA-PVF Chairman Chris W. Cox. “As a State Representative, Rick was a leader in the effort to expand law-abiding citizens' right to self-protection while consistently opposing attempts to ban lawfully owned firearms, magazines and ammunition.”

Saccone has an “A+” rating from NRA-PVF. This is the highest possible rating a candidate can attain, and is reserved for only those with excellent voting records on critical Second Amendment issues.

Among his many accomplishments, Rick helped bring Castle Doctrine legislation to Pennsylvania and sponsored a bill to expand the rights of law-abiding citizens to carry firearms for self-defense.

“The NRA is honored to endorse Rick Saccone and appreciates his support of the Second Amendment,” continued Cox. “The NRA encourages all Pennsylvania gun-owners, hunters and sportsmen to vote for Rick Saccone in the March 13, 2018 Special Election.”

This issue will work against Lamb unless there is one of these events a few weeks before the mid terms.

The seat has been vacant since Republican Tim Murphy had to resign in disgrace when it was revealed that he suggested that the woman with whom he was having an extramarital affair have an abortion.

Lamb ought to beat Saccone about the head and shoulders with this endorsement. He should run a silent ad with the faces of all the victims of school shootings just this year and end it with a sentence that Saccone believes they are just the cost of doing business to keep the gun lobby happy and campaign $s rolling in.

Saccone won't be able to backpedal fast enough.
