In an email sent out today by the NRA-ILA, they had this assessment of the mid-term elections with regards to gun rights:<\/p>\n
U.S. Senate<\/b><\/p>\n
* 19 of NRA-PVF’s 25 endorsed U.S. Senate candidates won. This marks a pro-gun upgrade of eight Senate seats.
\n* In the 111th Congress, there were 43 A-rated and 34 F-rated Senators. The 112th Congress will contain 50 A-rated (+7) and 33 F-rated Senators (-1).
\n* There will be 12 pro-gun Senate freshmen.<\/p>\n
U.S. House<\/b><\/p>\n
* Of the 262 candidates endorsed by the NRA-PVF for the U.S. House, 225 were victorious, for an 85% winning percentage. In every case but one where an NRA-PVF endorsed candidate lost, a pro-gun challenger replaced him.
\n* In the 111th Congress, there were 226 A-rated and 151 F-rated Representatives. The 112th Congress will contain 258 A-rated (+32) and 133 F-rated (-18) Members.
\n* There were pro-gun election upgrades in 27 House districts.<\/p>\n
Note: As of today, 9 races remain too close to call.<\/p>\n
Gubernatorial & State Legislatures<\/b><\/p>\n
* Of the 21 gubernatorial candidates endorsed by the NRA-PVF, 15 were victorious. (Note: Two races remain too close to call.)
\n* We made major gains in state legislative races, which will position us well in the upcoming legislative sessions next year.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
If one uses the NRA endorsements and grades as the measure, it certainly does appear that there is a majority of A-rated members of Congress in both houses.<\/p>\n
