Evidence

The page states that Rep. Mann is proud to support legislation that upholds the Second Amendment rights of the American people and that he will stand up against any effort to diminish or weaken the rights of law-abiding citizens to own, carry, and use firearms.

Official office issue page continues to affirm the commitment, but it does not show a new action in the 2026-05-08 to 2026-05-10 lookback window.

The release says Mann and Hudson led more than 120 colleagues in introducing H.R. 38, the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, and quotes Mann saying the bill defends Second Amendment rights and ensures legal gun owners can defend themselves across state lines.

This is a concrete pro-gun legislative action showing effort to support firearm rights, but it is outside the lookback window and does not prove a new delivery during the current period.

Mann's official House issue page says he supports legislation upholding Second Amendment rights and states: "I will stand up against any effort to diminish or weaken the rights of law-abiding citizens to own, carry, and use firearms."

This verifies the promise/position on an official office page, but by itself is a statement of intent rather than a completed policy outcome.

The release says Mann and Rep. Richard Hudson led more than 120 colleagues in introducing H.R. 38, the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, to establish nationwide reciprocity for concealed-carry license holders and residents of constitutional-carry states. Mann said the bill defends the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens and lets legal gun owners defend themselves across state lines.

This is concrete legislative action in the 119th Congress supporting carry rights, but the release does not show enactment.

Congress.gov lists H.R. 38 as introduced January 3, 2025, with Tracey Mann included among the named supporters in the reported text. The bill would let eligible people with valid licenses or constitutional-carry eligibility possess or carry concealed handguns in states that allow concealed-carry licensing or lawful concealed carry. The tracker still shows status "Introduced," with latest action placed on the Union Calendar on October 3, 2025.

Official bill text confirms Mann backed a concrete pro-carry measure, while the bill had not become law as of the available Congress.gov status, supporting partial fulfillment only.

The House Clerk roll call for H.R. 1808, the Assault Weapons Ban, shows the bill passed 217-213 on July 29, 2022. The vote table lists Representative Mann, Republican of Kansas, voting Nay.

Mann voted against passage of a federal assault-weapons-ban bill, a direct action against a firearm restriction, but the bill still passed the House and did not become law in that Congress.

Congress.gov describes H.R. 1808 as making it a crime to knowingly import, sell, manufacture, transfer, or possess a semiautomatic assault weapon or large capacity ammunition feeding device. The bill status is Passed House, and the latest action was Senate referral to the Judiciary Committee on August 1, 2022.

This official summary establishes that the bill Mann opposed was a firearm-restriction measure and that it did not advance to enactment, reinforcing partial rather than full delivery.

Assessments

delivered same_term

The promise was framed as a commitment to stand up against efforts weakening lawful firearm ownership, carry, and use, not as a promise to enact a specific federal gun-rights bill. In office, Mann took concrete federal actions matching that commitment: he voted against the 2022 Assault Weapons Ban, voted for a Congressional Review Act resolution disapproving an ATF stabilizing-brace rule, and helped introduce pro-carry and anti-ATF-enforcement legislation. Some sponsored measures did not become law, but the core promised conduct was to oppose and resist firearm restrictions, which he did during the same term.

partial same_term A for effort

Mann has taken pro-gun legislative action in office, including introducing H.R. 38 and publicly affirming support for Second Amendment rights, which shows real effort to oppose restrictions on lawful firearm ownership and carry. But the evidence does not show a specific contested effort was defeated or that the broad promise was fully realized, so this is partial rather than full delivery.

delivered same_term A for effort

Mann made a concrete federal legislative effort consistent with the promise by leading introduction of H.R. 38, the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, with more than 120 colleagues during his current House term. Because the promise was framed as standing up against efforts to weaken firearm rights rather than guaranteeing enactment of a specific law, this advocacy and sponsorship activity is enough to count as delivered in the same term, even though the evidence does not show final passage.
