What's in this first pass. Senate scores use the two Senate roll calls on firearms measures from 2021 to 2026 (the 2022 Bipartisan Safer Communities Act and the 2023 pistol-brace resolution), original sponsorships and cosponsorships of 17 major firearms bills from 2023 to 2026 (as printed on each introduced bill at govinfo.gov), and, where gathered, other verified bills and dated statements. Senators who joined after a vote are not scored on it. Senators-elect with no Senate record are Still in Velvet; prior House or state records will be added when those offices are rated. House scores use the 16 House passage votes on firearms bills from 2021 to 2026 (House Clerk roll calls, matched to members through Voteview) and sponsorships and cosponsorships of 20 major firearms bills from 2023 to 2026 (Congress.gov cosponsor lists, with the date each member signed on). Members who were not in the House for a vote are not scored on it, and missed votes are not scored. Members-elect with no House record are Still in Velvet.
Sources. Vote records: Office of the Clerk, U.S. House and U.S. Senate roll call votes, cross-checked with Voteview. Cosponsors and bill text: govinfo.gov and Congress.gov. Governor: links on each item. Method: how the score works. Full list: everything we scored.
