Chris Pappas wants New Hampshire to think he’s a “moderate.” His record in Washington says otherwise.
Chris Pappas, the Democrat nominee for U.S. Senate in New Hampshire, wants pro-gun voters to believe he’s a “moderate.”
He isn’t.
In Washington, Pappas voted for H.R. 1808, banning the sale, manufacture, and transfer of commonly owned semi-automatic rifles.¹
That should tell New Hampshire gun owners everything they need to know.
It wasn’t a one-time vote. Pappas also voted for H.R. 8, an extreme Universal Gun Registration bill.² And he voted for H.R. 1112, extending the time a buyer must wait for a NICS database check to clear from three days to ten.³
He voted for S. 2938, the Biden Administration’s Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the largest gun control package in nearly three decades.⁴
And when he first ran for Congress, Pappas promised on his campaign website to “support a ban on the sale of ‘assault weapons’ including the AR-15.”⁵
This isn’t a coincidence, and it isn’t moderation.
Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund, one of the most extreme gun control groups in America, endorsed Pappas and declared him a “Gun Sense Champion.”⁶ GIFFORDS endorsed him too.⁷
When the Gun Control Lobby calls you a “champion,” you are not a friend to the Second Amendment.

Pappas wants to represent a “Live Free or Die” state in the Senate while voting like a California or New York Democrat. New Hampshire gun owners deserve to know the facts.
The National Association for Gun Rights is taking Chris Pappas’s record directly to gun owners across New Hampshire through Election Day.
Help us keep exposing gun grabbers before November 3rd.
