On Civil Rights: Posting Ten Commandments in schools seems unconstitutional

Democratic presidential candidate Bill Bradley believes the legislative amendment passed by the House allowing the posting of the Ten Commandments in schools may be unconstitutional. “It will have to be tested in the courts,” Bradley said Thursday of the Ten Commandments amendment. “My hunch is it’s unlikely to pass constitutional muster.”

On Gun Control: Ban inexpensive “junk” handguns

Bradley called for a ban on “junk” handguns, the inexpensive, cheaply made weapons most often linked to crime. “These can explode in a user’s hand,” Bradley said. “They are dangerous.” The stance seemed a slight retreat from reports last month that Bradley was considering pushing a ban on the sale of all handguns. His aides say the ban on all handgun sales is a long-range goal. Bradley said he would support a ban on both the possession and sale of junk guns, also known as Saturday night specials.

On Gun Control: Register guns; limit buyers to one per month

Bradley’s agenda on guns includes a one-per-month limit on handgun purchases, banning anyone convicted of domestic violence from owning a gun, restricting firearms dealers to commercial areas, bumping up the cost of licenses for gun dealers, requiring a registration process for handguns similar to auto registration, and requiring background checks on buyers at gun shows.
