Joe Miller Receives A Rating from the NRA

Murkowski Sounds an Uncertain Trumpet in the Right to Keep and Bear Arms

Anchorage, Alaska. Joe Miller, candidate for U.S. Senate from Alaska, received an A
rating from the National Rifle Association this week. NRA Chairman Chris Cox
stated, this rating indicates [Millers] 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 so 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 schools champion Rifle Team and also is a former Federal Firearms License
holder.

By contrast Millers 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 with the Democrats to confirm Eric Holder, the
most anti-gun Attorney General in our nations 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.
