Some of the very U.S. senators who voted in favor of gun reform are running for president in the 2020 Democratic primary. Here is a breakdown of what they plan to do.
to major companies, like Fidelity, saying, “You have reaped significant benefits from your investment in gun manufacturers, but have done little to reduce the violence and murders caused by their products.
Beto O’Rourke - “We must treat this crisis with the urgency it deserves,” said the former Texas congressman, who, icalled for universal background checks “without exceptions”, an assault weapons ban and “red flag laws” that remove firearms from people at risk of harming themselves or others. Amy Klobuchar - As a moderate senator from Minnesota, Klobuchar says she comes to the issue of gun reform “from a little different place than some of my colleagues running for this office.” Like most others, she supports federal background checks and bans on both assault weapons and bump stocks, but Klobuchar says: “I always look at every proposal and say, ‘Would this hurt my Uncle Dick in the deer stand?’ I would say that these common sense proposals...do not.
Pete Buttigieg - The millennial mayor of South Bend, Indiana refers to himself as part of “the generation that came of age with school shootings.” His proposal is, perhaps accordingly, strict: like Booker, Buttigieg’s includes forming a nationwide gun licensing system. In his first 100 days as president, he says he’d pursue both universal background checks and a ban on bump stocks.
