$0 for any firearm transferred which is not described
in paragraph (1).
Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Outside the lookback window, the enacted statute supplies primary legal proof of the tax reduction underlying existing evidence. Section 70436 sets NFA transfer and making taxes at zero for covered firearms other than machineguns and destructive devices. Paired with Goldman's final-passage vote, this establishes a completed, limited policy result during his first congressional term.
Public state: unverifiedAs of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): partial.same_termA for effort
Goldman’s campaign promise was broad and ongoing, and the evidence shows he took concrete pro-Second Amendment legislative steps in Congress by cosponsoring H.R. 38 and backing H.R. 1181. That supports credit for active effort in the same term, but there is no evidence here that those efforts produced an enacted or otherwise completed outcome, so the promise is only partially fulfilled.

Public state: unverifiedAs of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): partial.same_termA for effort
Goldman made concrete same-term pro-Second Amendment legislative efforts as a member of Congress, including cosponsoring H.R. 38 on concealed-carry reciprocity and backing H.R. 1181 on firearms retailer purchase privacy, with the latter reported favorably from committee. However, the evidence shows advocacy and bill advancement rather than a fully enacted or otherwise completed policy outcome, so the broad promise to continue protecting Second Amendment rights is best rated partial rather than delivered.
