Crystal Quade on Gun Control

 

 


Allow local governments to set regulations on firearms

On guns, Quade said she supports local governments having more authority to set regulations on firearms. Quade drew a contrast between the need for guns in rural areas of the state and the situation in large metro areas. "Of course what's going on in Webster County where I grew up is different than what's going on in inner city St. Louis," Quade said.

Kehoe responded that Second Amendment rights are one of the "most fundamental" rights that American citizens enjoy. He referred to his upbringing in St. Louis, where he said gang members didn't go to stores to buy guns. "Every time we put more restrictions on a citizen's Second Amendment rights, we actually hurt the citizens who are trying to do this law-abiding and legally," Kehoe said.

Not anti-gun but huge proponent of background checks

Quade said she would have voted to sustain Gov. Jay Nixon's veto of a bill that changed Missouri's gun laws but stressed that she wasn't anti-gun. "When it comes to guns, I am a very moderate Democrat compared to most of my colleagues," she said. "I grew up eating deer and all those things. ... I grew up with loaded guns on the wall. "I am a huge proponent of families being able to protect themselves, feed their family, all those things. I am also a huge proponent of background checks."
