2020 KY Senatorial race: on Gun Control


Amy McGrath: Supports background checks, honest conversation about guns

I am a gun owner and pro-Second Amendment. There are some commonsense things that most gun owners and most non-gun owners actually agree on, and we haven't been able to get it done. Why? The gun lobby. Beyond common sense measures Congress should have enacted long ago, like background checks, we need an honest conversation about what we are willing to tolerate as a nation

Charles Booker: Supports gun control; background checks; no assault weapons

Charles has lost five family members to gun violence. Gun violence is a public health crisis. In the Kentucky General Assembly, he has sponsored gun safety legislation while opposing policies to allow permitless concealed carry in Kentucky, and mandatory arming of School Resource Officers. As a Senator, Charles will support mandatory universal background checks for all gun purchases and enforcement of wait times. He will ensure that weapons of war are not used to devastate neighborhoods.

Wesley Morgan: Oppose all efforts to eliminate; restrict 2nd Amendment

I believe the 2nd Amendment is your right and it means exactly what it says "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed". I oppose all efforts to eliminate or restrict this right.
