What struck me as noteworthy about this is the primaries are over.
Lori Trahan: Gun Reform
In the US, owning an assault rifle already requires a special permit from the federal government.
- There’s no time for “thoughts and prayers” when every day, an average of 96 Americans are killed by guns.
Lori will support legislation that creates a grace period in which the federal government would be responsible for buying all semi-automatic weapons from current gun owners. At the end of this period, owning an assault rifle without a special permit for approved dealers and collectors would be considered a felony.
Also:
- Repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA)
- Bring back the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban.
- Comprehensive background checks at every point of sale and ending the mythical “gun show loophole.”
- No-fly, No-buy since due process doesn't matter any longer.
- No concealed carry reciprocity.
- Create some kind of gun violence bureaucracy to impose "sensible solutions."
