Evidence

Missouri official returns list U.S. Representative District 9 Republican primary results: Onder, Bob 15,752 votes, 29.0%; Luetkemeyer, Blaine 21,543 votes, 39.7%.

Onder lost the 2008 Republican primary for Missouri's 9th Congressional District, so he had no same-term federal office in which to fulfill the campaign promise.

Congress.gov summary says H.R.38 establishes a federal framework for concealed firearms across state lines; latest action was placement on the Union Calendar after Judiciary Committee reporting, but the bill status remains Introduced.

The concealed-carry reciprocity bill advanced out of committee but had not become law as of the relevant period, so it shows effort rather than full delivery.

Onder lost the 2008 federal primary, so there was no same-term congressional opportunity to fulfill the promise. In later federal House service, he voted for final passage of H.R.1, which became Public Law 119-21 on July 4, 2025 and reduced certain National Firearms Act transfer and making taxes to $0. That enacted pro-gun-rights policy is a concrete delivery on the broad promise to protect Second Amendment rights, with additional later-term effort shown by cosponsoring H.R.38, which had advanced but not become law.

Because an enacted federal policy change aligned with protecting gun rights passed with his vote, the promise counts as delivered with later_term timing.
