2016 AR Senate race: on Gun Control


Conner Eldridge: Enforce the gun laws already on the books

Eldridge issued the following statement in response to Pres. Obama proposing a series of executive orders on gun violence: "I disagree with the President bypassing Congress, but I also blame a dysfunctional Congress that has failed to act. Everyone in Washington should do their jobs and enact bipartisan legislation that defends and secures the rights of lawful gun owners under the Second Amendment and makes it tougher for criminals, those with mental health conditions, and terrorists to obtain weapons

"As a senator and a strong advocate for the Second Amendment, I would work to encourage what I did as a prosecutor: enforcing the gun laws already on the books. I would also work to find long-term legislative solutions that improve the background check system, strengthen mental health treatment in this country and keep weapons out of the hands of suspected terrorists -- and all while defending the constitutional rights of law-abiding American citizens."

Curtis Coleman: Champion of our 2nd Amendment rights

2nd Amendment and Gun Rights: As an NRA and NAGR member and avid sportsman, I will be a champion of our 2nd Amendment rights. I will oppose any attempts to ban guns, ban ammunition, or to create a national gun registry.
