“HE [RICK SANTORUM] WAS THE MOST EFFECTIVE ADVOCATE OF BRINGING IT [LEGISLATION TO PROTECT GUN COMPANIES FROM FRIVOLOUS LAWSUITS] TO THE FLOOR AND GETTING A VOTE SCHEDULED. HE USED HIS INFLUENCE TO GET IT TO THE FLOOR. WITHOUT THAT, WE WOULD HAVE LOST EVERY AMERICAN GUN COMPANY.”
– WAYNE LAPIERRE, CEO – NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION, OCTOBER 25, 2006
“ON BEHALF OF NRA MEMBERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, I WANT TO THANK SENATOR RICK SANTORUM FOR HIS SUPPORT OF THE HUNTERS AND FISHERMEN, AND HIS WORK TO PRESERVE OUR COUNTRY’S STRONG OUTDOOR TRADITIONS.”
– CHRIS COX, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR – NRA-ILA, FEBRUARY 7, 2006
Coming from Pennsylvania, a state with a rich heritage of hunting and fishing, Senator Santorum understands firsthand the importance of preserving our constitutionally protected rights found in the 2nd Amendment. Senator Santorum fights to preserve this tradition, and will work to ensure these rights are not infringed upon.
As a Senator, Rick Santorum opposed frivolous lawsuits against the gun industry by supporting legislation (The Protection of Lawful Commerce Act) that would protect law abiding firearms manufacturers and dealers from frivolous lawsuits attempting to hold them liable for criminal acts of third parties.
Rick Santorum vehemently opposed the Assault Weapons Ban because he believes that there are more effective ways to stop gun violence, such as stricter enforcement of existing laws, than taking away the rights of law abiding gun owners.
Senator Santorum was also the proud author of legislation to eliminate the requirement that all hunters and fishermen furnish their social security numbers when getting a license. It was estimated that this legislation would help save 16 million hunters and another 24 million fishermen who buy their licenses every year from falling victim to identity theft.
For his work on behalf of gun owners and sportsmen across the country, Senator Santorum consistently received the highest possible ratings from the National Rifle Association and gun owners groups from around the country.
