Rep. Stauber, Pete [R-MN-8]* is listed among the cosponsors of H.R. 38, the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2023.

Stauber said, in House debate, that he was shot and that a criminal who should not have had a firearm tried to take his life; he argued that the Second Amendment protects people to defend themselves.

This official floor statement shows Stauber publicly tying the Second Amendment to self-defense, supporting the claim that he acted on the promise rhetorically in Congress.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

As a federal House member, Stauber can get full credit here only for a concrete protective outcome such as enacted federal legislation or another material policy change tied to the promise. The evidence shows meaningful effort: he cosponsored concealed-carry reciprocity legislation and publicly advocated a self-defense reading of the Second Amendment. But the cited bills remained unpassed, and the record provided does not show a completed federal policy outcome that newly secured or expanded this right. That supports partial credit for active advancement, not full delivery.

never same_term A for effort

Stauber made concrete same-term efforts consistent with the promise, including cosponsoring federal concealed-carry reciprocity legislation and publicly defending Second Amendment self-defense rights in House debate. However, the evidence does not show an enacted federal policy outcome or other completed official action that materially delivered the promised protection of the right to defend family and home. Because the record supports serious legislative and rhetorical effort but not delivery, this is best scored as not fulfilled with an effort badge.

never same_term A for effort

Stauber made a serious same-term legislative and rhetorical effort to support the promised Second Amendment self-defense position, including cosponsoring H.R. 38 on national concealed-carry reciprocity and defending that view in House debate. However, the evidence shows advocacy and attempted legislation rather than an enacted or otherwise completed policy outcome that materially delivered the promised protection.
