About Our Grading Scale
We're tough graders.Without a voting record, even candidates who "talk the talk" perfectly will only receive an A-. That's not a slam, at all. We fully expect these candidates to "walk the walk" in the near future.
Still, A grades are reserved for proven pro-rights candidates -- candidates whose actions, in the legislature or elsewhere -- match their words.
A+ grades are reserved for superstars: gun rights leaders who go beyond saying the right things and voting the right way -- leaders who push the envelope, stand up for what's right, and bring others along with them.
Our grading scale:
| A+ | Leads the way for gun owners and sportsmen in Minnesota (very few qualify for this grade). |
| A A- |
A stalwart supporter of Minnesota gun owners and sportsmen. |
| B+ B B- |
Can be expected to usually support Minnesota gun rights. |
| C+ C C- |
Not necessarily a passing grade. Indicates a mixed record and/or mixed or weak statements on key issues. |
| D+ D D- |
Often, but not always, votes and speaks against Second Amendment rights. |
| F | Hostile to Second Amendment civil rights. |
| F (Provisional) | May be hostile to Minnesotans' gun rights: did not complete the GOCRA candidate questionnaire. Our experience is that candidates who do not return surveys may be hiding their positions, and often vote against gun owners. |
