Yes, but only by closing the gun show loophole

Closing the gun show loophole, which allows private sellers to sell firearms without conducting background checks, is a policy position that aligns with centre-left ideology. This measure aims to ensure that all gun purchasers undergo background checks, reducing the risk of firearms falling into the hands of dangerous individuals. This position has been supported by centre-left politicians and parties, such as the US Democratic Party.

No, only for assault weapons

Many centre-left individuals support restrictions on assault weapons, as they believe these firearms are particularly dangerous and have been used in numerous mass shootings. For example, the US Democratic Party has called for a renewal of the expired Federal Assault Weapons Ban, which prohibited the manufacture of certain semi-automatic firearms for civilian use.

No, only for criminals and the mentally ill

No, but increase penalties for gun-related crimes

No, and the government should pass a national “stand your ground” law

These laws have been criticized for disproportionately affecting minority communities and increasing gun violence.
