"Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (NC-05) voted today for legislation that safeguards the 2nd Amendment rights of American gun owners." The page says H.R. 822 would let concealed-carry permit holders carry in other states that allow concealed carry, and that the bill passed the House 272-154.

Foxx publicly backed and voted for a gun-rights bill aimed at protecting lawful concealed carry across state lines.

Foxx said she was "proud to sign on as an original cosponsor" of legislation to eliminate federal excise taxes on firearms and ammunition because the Second Amendment protects the right to keep and bear arms from "undue infringement" by the federal government.

Foxx continued to advance legislation she described as protecting against federal infringement on gun rights.

The promise was broad and action-oriented: to fight efforts viewed as infringing on law-abiding citizens' Second Amendment rights. The evidence shows Foxx repeatedly took official actions consistent with that pledge, including voting for concealed-carry reciprocity legislation, publicly opposing Obama executive actions on guns, supporting similar gun-rights bills in multiple Congresses, and cosponsoring legislation to remove federal excise taxes on firearms and ammunition. Because the commitment was to fight or oppose such efforts rather than guarantee enactment of a specific final policy, these votes, public opposition, and cosponsorships satisfy the promised outcome.
