Gun Control
Place an “X” in the space next to the views YOU agree with most.
____ 1. Supports Brady Bill & thoughtful gun control. Supports trigger locks, licensing, & banning some
guns.
____ 2. Mandatory background checks & child safety locks. Agrees with Bush on banning weapons; but
wants registration Nationally mandated, state-run system of photo licensing. Take on the NRA with
presidential leadership. Passed toughest gun control in 30 years; same for next 30. Maximize gun control
within what’s politically possible.
_____ 3. Stop using heinous crimes to take away 2nd amendment rights. Faithfully
protects 2nd Amendment, except for felons. Gun laws didn’t stop Littleton shootings.
(Jun 1999)
_____ 4. Government should pay for voluntary trigger locks. Agrees trigger locks; but
wants more enforcement. Project Sentry: juvenile gun laws & school accountability.
Would sign, but would not push, gun restrictions. Ban automatic weapons & highcapacity ammunition clips.
