The House passed H.R. 1041, the Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act, by a vote of 216-201 on May 21, 2026; August Pfluger voted Yea.
Assessments
Pfluger took concrete in-office action consistent with the promise by voting in May 2026 to bring up and pass H.R. 1041, a Second Amendment-related bill. That shows real support for gun-rights policy during the same House term. But the evidence provided is limited to House votes on one bill and a procedural rule, and the bill was not shown to become law, so the record here is not strong enough to credit the broader promise as fully delivered.
Pfluger took a concrete same-term federal action aligned with the promise by voting Aye on May 20, 2026, for H. Res. 1300, the rule providing for consideration of H.R. 1041, the Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act. That supports candidate credit for advancing Second Amendment legislation, but the evidence shows only a procedural vote to consider a bill, not enactment of a substantive firearms-rights protection or a broader fulfilled policy outcome. This is best treated as partial progress with effort credit rather than full delivery.
