Kennedy has stated that he supports "common sense" gun control, but has also said that he would not "take away anybody's guns." He has explained his position saying "I'm a constitutional absolutist. We can argue about whether the
Second Amendment was intended to protect guns. That argument has now been settled by the Supreme Court." Kennedy also expressed support for a bipartisan assault weapons ban.

Mass shootings linked to antidepressants & video games
Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. does not agree with conventional party claims that access to guns alone has caused the rise in mass shootings, especially by youths. Instead, he cites in part the increase on antidepressants and
the use of video games. In a long-form, sit-down interview on the Club Random with Bill Maher podcast, Kennedy recalled that as a kid he attended schools that had shooting clubs, and nobody thought of turning those guns on each other.
