Which candidates want to ban assault style weapons and magazines?

[SHRED]

Anyone have a list?

Or maybe a better question is...who doesn't want to or is on the fence?

Thanks

1. I'd be interested in knowing that.

2. Anyone with a half-assed response is likely off my list, unless they are aiming at something

more “progressive.”

3. "Biden Not Giving Up on Assault Weapons Ban"

This was in March 2013.. but I imagine it's even stronger now..

(WASHINGTON) — The White House is still pushing for an assault weapons ban, Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday, even though Senate Democrats all but sealed its fate by dropping it from the gun-control package they plan to consider next month.

Although the ban’s sponsor still plans to offer it as an amendment, it is almost certain to fall victim to opposition from Republicans and likely some Democrats, too. In jettisoning the ban Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said it fell far short of the amount of support it would need to survive a vote and said including the assault weapons ban could sink the whole bill.

4. Click link below on any candidate, scroll down to view their votes, statements on guns. E.G., re

our candidate, Jay Inslee:

-- Lost seat over assault weapons bill; confront NRA again. (Apr 2019)

Quote:

I've known that it is time to confront the NRA and develop commonsense gun legislation for a quarter of a century. In 1994, when I was a freshman legislator, I was representing eastern Washington. We needed just a few votes to pass the assault weapon bill. And I knew if I cast that vote, I was probably going to lose my seat in Congress. I voted for that bill. I provided one of the critical votes to get it over the top. I lost my seat. But I have never regretted that vote because I do not believe any congressman's or politician's seat is more important than any child's life. We are not going to back up against the NRA. We have them on the run. This country's moving forward to commonsense gun legislation. I'm glad to be part of that.

-- Arming teachers with guns is ridiculous. (Jan 2019)

Quote:

During the National Governors Association meeting, Inslee was at the White House with the other governors for a lunch. Every year, a few governors get up and ask questions, and so the night before the event, Inslee and a few staffers brainstormed how to make the best use of the chance.
The governor didn't like any of their suggestions, and ended up improvising a question inspired by his brother-in-law, a teacher, about the proposal Trump was pushing after the Parkland shooting to arm teachers with guns. Inslee called it ridiculous. He told the president to stop tweeting and start listening. He watched the president's arms cross into his telltale grumpy self-hug, his hands shoved back behind his armpits, elbows up, lips pursed. ("If he's ever carved on a mountain, it won't be Mount Rushmore, it'll be Mount Petulant," Inslee told me later. "And that's the pose.&quot
