Gary Trauner on Gun Control

	Gary Trauner on Gun Control

Defends gun ownership but wants logical background checks

I will fight to protect our Constitutional rights. Second Amendment. The right to bear arms. I support the right to bear arms--for protection, self-defense, recreational shooting and sport/hunting. We must also find common sense ways to reduce gun violence, including background checks and limiting felonious lawbreakers, including domestic violence abusers, criminals and terrorists, from possessing firearms.

Steadfastly and resolutely support Second Amendment

Responsible gun ownership comes from personal responsibility not government regulation.

I support the right of the people to bear arms as laid out in the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America. I fully understand and respect the views of Wyoming's citizens on this issue and will steadfastly and resolutely support our right to bear arms and fight against any elected official who tries to take away that right. Period.

Restrict right to bear arms, according to CC survey.

Trauner supports the CC survey question on Second Amendment

The Christian Coalition Voter Guide inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Further Restrictions on the Right to Keep and Bear Arms' Christian Coalition's self-description: "Christian Voter Guide is a clearing-house for traditional, pro-family voter guides. We do not create voter guides, nor do we interview or endorse candidates."
