Bob Casey Jr. - Democrat - A - "Partnering with law enforcement, Bob Casey is taking on our toughest challenges. He has championed public safety, including cracking down on illegal gun trafficking and keeping guns out of the hands of people with dangerous records. He worked across the aisle to pass the Combat Online Predators Act to increase sentences on stalkers whose victims are minors, and his Campus Sexual Violence Elimination Act is combatting sexual assault on college campuses." Casey has a strong voting record on gun control, having supported the 06/23/2022 Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (6/23/22) and a number of other gun control measures.

David McCormick - Republican - F- Candidate David McCormick has not made an indication that he is for reasonable regulation of guns. On his campaign website he states that he is a strong supporter of the second amenments and believes that "...law-abiding citizens have an individaul right to own firearms... for any lawful reason, and neither Congress nor the states can take that away." He further states that there are already rigorous background check systems in Pennsylvania, which doesn't give an indication of whether or not he supports expanded background checks or other types of reasonable regulations around gun control and safety.

Ruben Gallego - Democrat - A - US House Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Arizona, District 3), has been a constant supporter and leader in the U.S. House of Representatives in regard of voting for and sponsoring legislation around gun control and safety. He has voted in favor in almost every piece of legislation regarding gun control and safety in the U.S. House, and even co-sponsored 4 bills around gun legislation such as the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2021, and the Violence Against Protecting Our Kids Act in 2022.’

Kari Lake - Republican- F - Candidate Kari Lake is strong support of gun rights and has made no statements indicating that she is for reasonable regulations of guns to protect the public.

Demi Kouzounas (R) - C - Candidate Demi Kouzounas is a strong supporter of gun rights and has made statements on her campaign that she would lean towards loosening gun regulation on a 2024 Maine Senate vote candidate survey, but in a Gun Owners of Maine quesionnaire she filled out, she stated that she would oppose allowing concealed weapons permit holders in schools. So there seems to be support for some forms of policies regarding gun safety.

David Costello (D) -A - Candidate David Costello has consistently expressed his support for gun-control legislation. His stance on gun regulation has been reinforced by his public responses to gun violence, notably reacting to the tragic events in Lewiston, Maine, by calling for stronger legislation on assault weapons. Costello has commended efforts like Congressman Jared Golden's push to ban the sale of military-style assault weapons, encouraging Maine Senators King and Collins to show similar leadership. In addition, on his Senate campaign website, he emphasizes the need to build upon recent common-sense gun laws, reinforcing his commitment to enhancing public safety. His support for further legislation in this area highlights his dedication to preventing gun violence while promoting responsible gun ownership.

Rep. Debbie Murcarsel-Powell (D-FL) - A+ - Rep. Debbie Murcarsel-Powell (D-FL) has demonstrated a commitment to supporting reasonable gun control members. In 2019 she supported and voted yes for the Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2019 which requires stronger background check procedures to be followed before a federal firearms licensee may transfer a firearm to a person who is not such a licensee. She also served as Vice Chair of the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force and as a Member of the Judiciary Committee pushing for more legislation that would expand background checks and close loopholes on current gun laws that put victims of domestic abuse at risk. She has stated in her campaign, that she is committed to pursuing and supporting gun control members.

Rick Scott - F - As former Governor of Florida, current state Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) has signed many Executive orders opposed to gun regulation. From 2011 - 2015, he signed bills that authorized concealed carry during emergency evacuations (without a liscense), prohibited insurance increases for gun owners, and allowed a person who is lawfully carrying a concealed firearm to briefly and openly display the firearm under certain circumstances. In 2021, Scott also voted against the national Bipartisan Safer Communities Act which increases background check requirements for individuals under the age of 21 in order to buy, sell, or transfer firearms.
