	Glenn Youngkin on Gun Control

Lifetime NRA member, will push back against gun laws

[On the National Rifle Association]: "I'm a gun owner. I'm a lifetime member of the NRA. I understand what it means for the people to have the right to keep and bear arms. And as your governor, we will not just stand back, but we will push back," he said. "I think one of the biggest problems we have around the Second Amendment is the people's misunderstanding of where the problem is," Youngkin said then. "And the problem is, in fact, with criminals and with mental health." Source: WRIC ABC8 on 2021 Virginia Governor race , Jul 23, 2021

Against red flag laws, universal background checks

[On gun rights]: "I will not sign a piece of legislation that has anything to do with imposing limitations on our Second Amendment," Youngkin said in a Facebook Live interview. He would support rolling back gun-control legislation. Those measures include a "red flag" law intended to take weapons away from people deemed by a judge to be in imminent danger of harming themselves or others. Others restrict handgun purchases to one per month & require criminal background checks for all firearms sales. Source: Washington Post on 2021 Virginia Gubernatorial race , May 26, 2021

Trump: Glenn is pro-Second Amendment & pro-America

Less than 12 hours after Glenn Youngkin locked up the GOP nomination for Virginia governor on Monday night, former President Donald Trump barreled into 2021's most competitive statewide election. "Glenn is pro-Business, pro-Second Amendment, pro-Veterans, pro-America, he knows how to make Virginia's economy rip-roaring, and he has my Complete and Total Endorsement!" Trump wrote in a statement Tuesday morning that was circulated by his political action committee. Source: Politico.com on 2021 Virginia Gubernatorial race , May 11, 2021
