2022 AL Governor's race: on Gun Control


Tim James: If Feds overstep on this issue, we will not submit

Our Founding Fathers expected Americans to be armed as a means of protecting their families from both criminals and tyranny. If the federal government ever makes the terrible decision to overstep its bounds on this issue, we will not submit. Every other constitutional right is guaranteed by our right to bear arms.

Yolanda Flowers: Supports gun rights, but raise age for owners to 21

Flowers also said she supports the rights of gun owners but believes that the state should implement more stringent laws about purchasing and usage. She wants to raise Alabama's legal age for gun owners from 18 years old to 21. Flowers said that she wants psychological evaluations for people who want to purchase guns in the state, as well as training for pawn brokers and other gun salespeople.

Yolanda Flowers: Opposes permitless concealed carry of guns

1819 News asked Flowers if she favored ending the gun permit requirement for concealed carry. "That is dangerous to me, No, I don't," Flowers said. "A gun is power, and some people can't handle power."

"Everyone should be able to go to the store without carrying a gun," Flowers said. "All the violence is because you can buy a gun here. I am not for it."
