Thomas Massie, a U.S. Congressman representing Kentucky's 4th district since 2012, has recently taken to social media to discuss legislative developments related to gun rights and constitutional protections. Massie, who succeeded Geoff Davis in Congress and holds a degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, shared updates on his National Constitutional Carry Act and recent judicial rulings.
On February 4, 2025, Thomas Massie announced via Twitter that "The Association of Mature American Citizens (@AMACAction) has endorsed my National Constitutional Carry Act, HR 645!" He expressed gratitude for the endorsement and emphasized his stance that "No one should have to beg the government to exercise a constitutionally protected right anywhere in the country."

The following day, February 5, 2025, Massie acknowledged support from another lawmaker: "Thank you to @RepScottPerry for cosponsoring HR 645, the National Constitutional Carry Act."

Later on February 5, he commented on a recent federal court ruling aligned with his legislative efforts concerning handgun sales. According to Massie's tweet: "A Federal Court just issued a ruling that mirrors my bill to allow handgun sales to 18-20 year olds. If you’re old enough to vote or serve in our military, you are covered by the second amendment too." "Original quotation"
