Joe Miller Receives ‘A’ Rating from the NRA

Anchorage, Alaska — Joe Miller, candidate for US Senate from Alaska, received an ‘A’ rating from the National Rifle Association this week. NRA Chairman Chris Cox stated, “this rating indicates [Miller’s] support for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.”

Miller, a Life Member and Benefactor of the NRA, said, “The Founders believed our Right to Keep and Bear Arms was such a vital liberty, they wrote it into the Constitution. No one will be a stronger advocate in its defense.”

Miller is an avid sportsman and gun collector. He served in combat during the First Gulf War, receiving the Bronze star. While a cadet a West Point, Joe was a member of the school’s champion rifle team and also is a former Federal Firearms License holder.

By contrast Miller’s opponent, Lisa Murkowski, sounds an uncertain trumpet in support of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. As is true with so much of her voting record, Murkowski votes conservatively only when it is vital to her political survival, but otherwise joins with the Democrats more often than almost any other “Republican” senator. She voted against the majority of Republicans with the Democrats to confirm Eric Holder, the most anti-gun Attorney General in our nation’s history. She has been designated as a pro-gun compromiser by the Gun Owners of America. Additionally, she voted to expand the land covered by the National Park Service gun ban. While serving in the State House, she voted against the repeal of the concealed carried restrictions and against the State sale of confiscated arms. It is no wonder during her time in the House she received a ‘D’ rating by the NRA.

Miller pledges to be a strong and consistent supporter of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. “This right is inalienable, and I will always be on the side of preserving this freedom,” said Miller.
