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.
