— NFCT Editorial Staff —
In an age where misinformation moves faster than facts and political doublespeak has become currency, The National Firearms Coalition Today stands firm as a trusted voice for liberty-loving Americans.
Our mission is more than reporting—it’s to sound a clarion call to vigilance. By delivering timely, transparent coverage on the conduct of Congress and its impact on your Second Amendment rights, we empower our readers not just to vote in their interests—but to recognize the enemies of the Republic masquerading as its stewards.
Because truth isn’t just an ideal—it’s our first line of defense. That’s why constitutional literacy is at the heart of our work: we believe an informed citizenry is a protected citizenry.
As of July 24, 2025, the battle over the Second Amendment in Congress is heating up. With the Trump-Vance administration supporting expanded constitutional carry and federal agencies under pressure, it’s time the American gun community takes stock of its allies—and calls out its betrayers.
Here is your breakdown of the best and worst performers in the 119th Congress when it comes to defending the right to keep and bear arms.
Champions of the 2nd Amendment
These lawmakers have put skin in the game. From sponsoring pivotal bills to rallying against unconstitutional overreach, they’re fighting not just with words—but with legislative teeth. Their staunch resistance to the gun control agenda is not just “doing their job.” In a time when the gun control agenda is so entrenched in American politics, their efforts are worthy of recognition by the American people, and they need your support! Note that this list is not intended to be comprehensive, and N.F.C.T. stands ready to acknowledge and applaud all who uphold our 2A rights.
