2020 TN Senate race: on Gun Control

Marquita Bradshaw: For background checks, red flag laws, CDC research on guns

I support universal background checks.

Require a gun safety education, storage, and a license in order to own a gun
Enact extreme risk / red flag laws
Conduct strong background checks
Disarm domestic abusers
Encourage the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to research gun deaths and injuries in the same way it researches other health issues in order to find workable solutions

Manny Sethi: Red-flag laws are unconstitutional

I am a staunch supporter of our 2nd Amendment Rights. As a concealed carry permit holder, I know that our Constitutional Rights are not up for debate. These days you are hearing career politicians on both sides of the aisle talking about red flag laws. These are unconstitutional and will lead to many problems and bad faith actors. I will fight to ensure our right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Source: 2020 Tennessee Senate campaign website, DrMannyForSenate.com Jan 12, 2020

Bill Hagerty: The threat to gun rights is real

Bill believes that the Second Amendment is one of our most important freedoms, and he will always protect our constitutional rights, including our right to bear arms and protect ourselves. The threat to our gun rights is real. That's why we need strong leadership in the Senate that won't buckle to liberal pressure. Bill opposes a national gun registry, red flag laws and universal background checks. He'll vote to confirm constitutionalist judges who respect our rights to self-defense.
