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."

Kelly’s official issue page still states the promise in essentially the same form, which supports that the claim remains his stated position but does not by itself prove recent delivery or reversal.

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.

Within the lookback window, Kelly supported moving a pro-Second Amendment veterans bill to the floor, which is a concrete pro-gun-rights action consistent with the claim, but it is procedural rather than a final vote on the substance.

The House floor agenda on May 21, 2026 included H.R. 1041, described as the Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act.

The House was actively considering a bill framed as protecting veterans’ Second Amendment rights during the lookback window, reinforcing that Kelly was operating in a live legislative context relevant to the promise.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

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.
