James Comer would protect Second Amendment rights from federal infringement.
Occurrences
Evidence
Comer's office says Second Amendment rights should be protected from federal government infringement.
Congress.gov lists H.R.5110 as Public Law No. 118-17 and says it permits federal education funds for archery, hunting, and shooting sports activities.

Assessments
During the 2023-2024 House term following the 2022 campaign, Comer took concrete pro-Second Amendment actions: he voted for H.R.5110, which became Public Law 118-17 and preserved federal education funding eligibility for archery, hunting, and shooting-sports activities; he also voted for H.J.Res.44 to overturn the ATF stabilizing-braces rule and cosponsored H.R.38 on concealed-carry reciprocity. However, the enacted result was narrow, and the broader anti-federal-infringement efforts either failed or did not advance. Because he contributed to a limited successful protection but did not deliver the broader promised outcome, partial credit is appropriate.
