Walkinshaw’s official House issue page says he supports the exact gun-safety measures named in the claim, and he also cosponsored the 2025 assault-weapons ban bill. Because the promise is to support and oppose legislation, not necessarily to enact it, this is fulfilled in his current term even though the bill itself did not advance.

partial same_term A for effort

Walkinshaw has publicly supported the full gun-safety agenda described in the promise and took concrete legislative action by cosponsoring the 2025 House assault-weapons ban, covering a major part of the commitment. However, the evidence only shows legislative action on one major element, and the cited bill remained introduced/referred rather than enacted, so the overall multi-part promise is best treated as partially fulfilled rather than fully delivered.
