Survey of 2024 Presidential campaign websites: on Gun Control


Marianne Williamson: Treat gun violence against children as an emergency

Americans have no way of knowing the consequences, several years from now, of generations of young children going to school every day praying that they will not be shot. Gun violence is the largest cause of death among America's children. This situation is an emergency, and a President Williamson will treat it as such.

Nikki Haley: Expanded concealed carry rights to bars and restaurants

Nikki is a strong defender of the Second Amendment and fought to protect gun owners' rights as governor. In 2012, she signed a bill that repealed many of the state's outdated anti-gun laws. She signed reciprocity legislation with Georgia, expanded concealed carry rights to bars and restaurants, and backed the Constitutional Carry Act that would have eliminated the state's permitting and training requirements for gun owners.

Stephen Laffey: End making military installations "Gun Free Zones"

Fort Hood is one of the largest military bases in the world. Nearly 45,000 active-duty soldiers are stationed there, and every one of them is trained to operate firearms. Nevertheless, military installations have been deemed "Gun Free Zones." Those servicemen assigned as military police personnel are the only authorized exception.

"We've got to change the laws that these people put in [place] in Washington so that our own military can't defend themselves in America," Laffey says.

Chase Oliver: No new gun restrictions; repeal existing restrictions

CHAMPIONING GUN RIGHTS FOR ALL: I support the right of every person to defend themselves from violence and aggression. I will not support any new gun restrictions and will look to repeal the restrictions that exist today. Gun control throughout our history has been used to limit the ability of vulnerable populations to defend themselves. Armed people are harder to oppress and harder to attack.

Kamala Harris: Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines

She'll ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, require universal background checks, and support red flag laws that keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people. She will also continue to invest in funding law enforcement, including the hiring and training of officers and people to support them, and will build upon proven gun violence prevention programs that have helped reduce violent crime throughout the country.
