McCormick rose on the House floor and said he was "in defense of the Second Amendment," criticizing ATF pistol-brace rulemaking as an attack on constitutional rights.

The House Clerk vote record for H.R. 2255 shows McCormick voted Yea on passage of the Federal Law Enforcement Officer Service Weapon Purchase Act of 2025, a bill allowing federal law enforcement officers to purchase retired service weapons.
Assessments
McCormick lost the 2020 House race tied to this promise, so there was no same-term federal office opportunity from that campaign. In later House service, he took actions consistent with defending Second Amendment interests, including a floor statement against ATF pistol-brace rulemaking and a pro-firearms vote on H.R. 2255. However, the evidence shows advocacy and aligned votes rather than completion of the broad promised outcome, and it does not establish that he authored, sponsored, or materially advanced a successful major Second Amendment policy change. This merits partial credit with later-term timing rather than full delivery.
