U.S. Representative Austin Scott (GA-08) today opposed H.R. 1808, which passed the House of Representatives with a vote of 217-213.

In the cosponsors list, Scott, Austin [R-GA] appears among cosponsors; the bill's subject area includes "Firearms and explosives." The measure disapproves an ATF rule defining "Engaged in the Business" as a Dealer in Firearms.

Assessments

delivered later_term

Scott promised to fight to preserve Second Amendment rights, which is an effort-oriented federal House promise rather than a specific enactment pledge. The evidence shows he publicly opposed and voted against advancing H.R. 1808, an assault-weapons bill, and later cosponsored H.J.Res.144 to block an ATF firearms rule. These are direct legislative actions aligned with the promised fight. The cited fulfillment evidence comes well after the 2010 campaign term, so timing is later_term rather than same_term.
