He will not support any legislation that infringes on the rights of legal gun owners or expands federal power over them.
Occurrences
Evidence
The district office issue page says, "I will not support any legislation that infringes on the rights of legal gun owners and gives more power and authority to the federal government."
The House passed the rule that set up floor consideration of H.R. 1041, the "Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act," and Trent Kelly voted Aye.
The House floor agenda on May 21, 2026 included H.R. 1041, described as the Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act.
Assessments
Kelly’s current official position matches the promise, and he took a concrete same-term action consistent with it by voting for the rule to consider H.R. 1041, the Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act. However, the available evidence shows only a procedural pro-gun-rights vote and an issue-page statement, not a completed legislative outcome or a comprehensive voting record proving he never supported any legislation infringing legal gun owners’ rights. That supports partial credit rather than full delivery.
