2024 NC Governor's race: on Gun Control
Josh Stein:
For "red flag" laws; raising age to 21 to buy AR-15 rifle
He called for public safety campaigns to remind and encourage people to store their guns safely, and for "red flag" laws that allow courts to temporarily take firearms from people who are at risk of shooting themselves or other people.
Stein also said the age for someone to buy an AR-15 rifle should be raised from 18 to 21. "We don't let young people buy a cigarette or a beer. But we let them buy an AR-15? It just doesn't make any sense," Stein said.

Opposed cancelling gun show after Parkland shooting
Robinson, whose political rise as a conservative Internet personality started when a clip of him speaking at a city council meeting in April 2018 went viral, as he was speaking against a proposal to cancel a local gun show after the Parkland shooting.
He also began attacking the Parkland survivors after they launched the "March for Our Lives" movement that called for new gun control measures, comparing the students to communists.

Michael Morgan:
People are not safe anywhere due to availability of guns
The availability of guns is what's "making (gun violence) so reprehensible to our society," Morgan said. "Everybody has been touched by this, whether it is communities that are urban, those that are rural, those that are suburban. People cannot be safe,
where they go, anywhere." "And certainly in our schools," he added, "where our children should be concentrating on education, as opposed to practicing drills on what they need to do to keep themselves safe in the event of an attack."

Mark Robinson:
Support Constitutional Carry
Q: What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?A: I support Constitutional Carry and as governor I will fight to enact this legislation. I got involved in politics by standing up to far-left activists trying to cancel a
gun show in my hometown. I am honored to serve on the board of the National Rifle Association. I am a strong supporter of our 2nd amendment rights. As governor I will fight to protect our constitutional rights, including the 2nd Amendment.
