I will ALWAYS stand up for the rights of our citizens to keep and bear firearms... I’ll keep up this fight in Washington
Will stand up for the right to keep and bear firearms and keep fighting on the issue in Washington.
Occurrences
Evidence
Under the 2nd Amendment heading, Moore says he will "ALWAYS stand up for the rights of our citizens to keep and bear firearms" and that he will "keep up this fight in Washington."
Moore's campaign homepage says he "stopped the backdoor gun registry" and is asking supporters so he can "continue this fight in Washington."
Congress.gov lists Riley Moore as sponsor of H.R. 1181, introduced on 02/11/2025, to bar payment-card merchant category codes that distinguish firearms retailers from general-merchandise or sporting-goods retailers.
The House press release says Moore introduced the Protecting Privacy in Purchases Act, which bans a unique merchant category code for firearms and ammunition transactions and says he "won't stand for" attempts to collect data on Americans exercising their rights.
Assessments
This promise was framed as an ongoing commitment to defend gun rights in Congress rather than as a specific bill or final policy result. In his first federal term, Riley Moore publicly continued that advocacy and materially acted on it by sponsoring H.R. 1181 in February 2025, a firearm-rights/privacy bill aimed at preventing transaction tracking of gun and ammunition purchases. Because the promise was to 'stand up' and 'keep fighting' on the issue in Washington, those concrete congressional actions are sufficient to count as fulfillment in the same term even without a completed statutory outcome.
Moore promised during his 2024 federal campaign to continue defending gun rights in Washington. In his first House term, he sponsored H.R. 1181, the Protecting Privacy in Purchases Act, aimed at blocking payment-card tracking of firearm and ammunition purchases, and publicly framed it as protecting Americans exercising Second Amendment rights. Because the promise was an ongoing advocacy/fighting commitment rather than a pledge to enact a specific law, this concrete federal legislative action is sufficient to count as delivered in the same term.
The promise was framed as an ongoing commitment to stand up for gun rights and keep fighting the issue in Washington, not as a specific enacted policy outcome. In the same congressional term, Moore introduced H.R. 1181, the Protecting Privacy in Purchases Act, and publicly promoted it as a gun-rights measure against firearm-purchase tracking. That is concrete action matching the promised conduct.
