Jay Williams on Gun Control

	Jay Williams on Gun Control

Common sense measures like background checks

From his childhood experiences growing up on a farm in north central South Dakota, where the annual pheasant hunt brought hunters from all over the country, to the NRA gun safety course he took as a young person, Jay has had lots of experience with firearms. In the military he was exposed to many different kinds of weapons, including fully automatic machine guns. Today, mass shooters have demonstrated the danger that guns pose when they are in the wrong hands. Jay supports common sense measures like background checks to make sure guns are in the hands of responsible gun owners, not criminals or at-risk individuals.

Williams 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' The Christian Coalition notes, "You can help make sure that voters have the facts BEFORE they cast their votes. We have surveyed candidates in the most competitive congressional races on the issues that are important to conservatives."
