Alan Khazei on Gun Control

Ban assault weapons; strengthen background checks

Alan supports commonsense gun laws and ownership for responsible citizens. We need to get guns off our streets, and away from our kids and teens. Alan respects responsible gun owners, like his grandfather who was a hunter.

As Senator, Alan will vote to ban assault weapons, implement child locks, strengthen background checks, close the gun show loophole, and give law enforcement personnel the tools they need to track and control illegal guns.
