The political action committee for America’s largest pro-gun rights organization has endorsed U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) in Alabama's upcoming Republican runoff election for U.S. Senate.

On Monday, the National Rifle Association's Political Victory Fund released a letter of support for Moore, touting his fight against the "Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries gun control agenda."

"On behalf of our millions of members around the country, the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) is proud to endorse your candidacy for the United States Senate in Alabama...," the letter stated. "Finally, thank you for your continued opposition to the Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries gun control agenda of banning lawfully owned firearms, ammunition, and magazines."

"Congratulations on your endorsement, and thank you for your support of the Second Amendment," added the group.

Moore expressed gratitude for the Political Victory Fund's endorsement, calling the right of Americans to bear arms "non-negotiable."

"I’m proud to be the Second Amendment champion in this race and grateful for the NRA-PVF’s support,” said Moore. “Our individual right to bear arms is non-negotiable because our rights come from God, not the government. I will never waver on law-abiding Alabamians’ right to own, purchase, and carry firearms. In the Senate, I will continue to work to not just protect but expand this cornerstone of our freedom."

The NRA-PVF’s letter cited Moore's "fight to make suppressors more accessible by cosponsoring legislation that removes these items from the National Firearms Act (NFA)." Additionally, the letter noted Moore's support of the first "major reduction of taxes" imposed on NRA members and gun owners in decades.
