Seth Moulton on Gun Control Democratic Presidential Challenger; MA Rep.

There's no need for weapons of war on our streets

A: "While I respect the Second Amendment, there's no need for weapons of war on our streets."

Ban bump stocks; bar terrorists from gun purchases

For background checks & assault weapons ban

It's time for universal background checks

The American gun violence epidemic requires congressional action. I will fight for stronger restrictions on gun ownership and licensing, closing the gun show loophole, bans on high capacity magazines, increasing the gun purchase waiting period, and restrictions on semi-automatic rifles.
