All 19 candidates now support an assault weapons ban, which used to divide Democrats. The big question now is whether buybacks should be voluntary or mandatory.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/13/us/politics/democrats-gun-control.html …

Five candidates —
@CoryBooker,@KamalaHarris,@BetoORourke,@marwilliamson, and@WayneMessam — support mandatory buybacks, meaning that if assault weapons were banned, people who already own them would be required to sell them to the government.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/13/us/politics/democrats-gun-control.html …Afficher cette discussion -
In May,
@CoryBooker was the first candidate to propose a gun licensing requirement. Now, 13 candidates support one. (That # doesn't include@JoeBiden, who wants to give states incentives to create licensing programs but wouldn't require them to do so.)https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/13/us/politics/democrats-gun-control.html …Afficher cette discussion -
Several candidates also want a registration requirement in at least some circumstances. Some (e.g.
@JoeBiden,@BernieSanders) would require registration ONLY for assault weapon owners who didn't participate in a voluntary buyback. Others would go further.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/13/us/politics/democrats-gun-control.html …Afficher cette discussion -

But polls show majority support for a lot of gun restrictions, and the candidates are aware that the political ground has shifted.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/13/us/politics/democrats-gun-control.html …

“It’s a story about how the country is shifting,”
@PeterMAmbler, executive director of@GiffordsCourage, told me. “And what you see happening in the Democratic primary is a direct reflection of what’s happening in the country.”https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/13/us/politics/democrats-gun-control.html …Afficher cette discussion -

Four campaigns — Castro, Delaney, Gabbard, and Yang — didn't respond despite numerous follow-up requests. (We sent out the survey almost a month ago, on September 18.) As best I could, I compiled their positions from their public statements and any published plans.
