Shane Hazel: Repeal all gun laws; strictly interpret 2nd Amendment

Hazel believes all federal gun laws should be repealed, and the Second Amendment of the Constitution should be strictly interpreted. "I will expose all those that fight to deprive you the 1st natural right of self-preservation."

Jon Ossoff: Background checks; red flag laws; assault weapon ban

I support the Second Amendment and I respect the overwhelming majority of gun owners who recognize that guns aren't toys; they are lethal and dangerous tools. I support universal criminal history checks for gun purchases, red flag laws to protect family members and domestic partners concerned about the mental health of their loved ones, and closing the gun show loophole. I support a ban on the sale of semi-automatic rifles ("assault weapons") and high-capacity magazines to the general public.

Ted Terry: 2nd Amendment doesn't mean unfettered access to guns

There are some issues out there that 90% of Americans want to see, like universal background checks, gun licensing, and red flag laws. It's weird there are things we think are traditions but they're not. For a hundred fucking years the Second Amendment was interpreted as: we should have a militia and people can have rifles and shit, but it doesn't mean unfettered access to guns, like George Washington himself would lay his life down to keep his AR-15.
