Assessments
The promise is framed as an action promise to cast votes protecting Second Amendment rights, not to enact a final law. Evidence shows Scott DesJarlais voted Yea on House passage of H.R. 1041, the Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act, during the relevant term. Because he took the promised voting action on a bill explicitly presented as protecting Second Amendment rights, this counts as delivered in the same term.
