"The National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) ranks political candidates-irrespective of party affiliation-based on voting records, public statements and their responses to an NRA-PVF questionnaire. In 2004, NRA-PVF was involved in 265 campaigns for the U.S. House and Senate, winning in 254 of those races. These victories represent the re-election of pro-gun majorities in both the U.S. House and Senate.
NRA relies on a very simple premise: when provided with the facts, the nation's elected officials will recognize that "gun control" schemes are an infringement on the Second Amendment and a proven failure in fighting crime. The importance of this premise lies in the knowledge that, as one U.S. Congressman put it: "The gun lobby is people.'"
The following ratings are based on lifetime voting records, public statements, and a questionnaire sent to all candidates in that year; the organization then assigned letter grades ranging from a high of A+ to a low of F.
