Occurrences

I will work to protect our right to keep and bear arms, as guaranteed by the Second Amendment. We need to enforce the gun laws we have, not pass new ones that target the law-abiding rather than criminals.

Commits to defending gun rights and opposing additional gun restrictions on law-abiding gun owners.

Evidence

No matching text found for "Second Amendment"; no matching text found for "firearm"; no matching text found for "gun" on the official member page when searched during the lookback window.

Official member-page search returned no gun-rights or gun-policy references, so there is no concrete official sign in the lookback window that Knott delivered, blocked, or reversed the promise.

The committee page lists Brad Knott as a member and shows recent activity in the last 30 days on non-gun matters, including a 05/20/2026 hearing on "The Southern Poverty Law Center: Manufacturing Hate" and an 04/22/2026 markup of other bills.

Recent official committee activity involving Knott was unrelated to firearms, and this page does not provide a concrete gun-policy action within the lookback window.

No matching text found for "gun", "firearm", or "Second Amendment" on the official Congress.gov member page for Brad Knott.

The official member record shows no direct firearms/Second Amendment activity or references in the current lookback window, so there is no concrete federal sign that the promise was delivered or blocked.

The official House site’s latest news in the lookback window is a June 9, 2026 press release titled "Knott Votes to Restore ICE and CBP Funding After 100 Days of Democrat Obstruction," followed by a May 20, 2026 op-ed on aviation; site searches found no matches for "gun", "firearm", "Second Amendment", or "arms".

Knott’s official congressional website shows recent activity on border funding and aviation, not gun rights or gun legislation, which leaves the campaign promise unresolved.

The Judiciary Committee page lists recent activity on June 9, 2026 ("The Southern Poverty Law Center: Manufacturing Hate, Part II") and June 3, 2026 (markup of H.R. 8481, H.J. Res 1, H.R. 5437, H.R. 175, and H.R. 1869); none of the recent activity items reference firearms.

Recent official committee activity in the lookback window is unrelated to firearms, so it does not provide evidence that Knott delivered on the gun-rights promise.

Assessments

unresolved unknown

Brad Knott is an active U.S. representative, but the provided official-source evidence shows no identifiable sponsorship, votes, statements, or committee actions in the lookback window directly tied to protecting gun rights or opposing new gun laws aimed at law-abiding citizens. Because the record here does not show either a concrete delivery or a clear failed attempt, the promise is best scored as unresolved rather than delivered, partial, or never.

unresolved unknown

The available evidence does not show that Brad Knott delivered a concrete federal outcome protecting gun rights or blocking new gun laws aimed at law-abiding citizens. The Congress.gov/member-page search found no relevant firearm, gun, or Second Amendment activity, and the cited committee activity was unrelated to firearms. Because the promise concerns ongoing federal legislative conduct and the evidence does not establish either success or a serious failed attempt, the status remains unresolved rather than delivered, partial, or never.
