Issues: Guns

I've been named a Certified Gun Sense Candidate by Moms Demand Action and I'm a longtime supporter of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. I learned a healthy respect for firearms as a child through an NRA Junior Rifle Club Hunter Safety program, using a single-shot .22 rifle with a peep sight. I voted for the Minnesota Legacy Amendment, which enshrined the right to hunt and fish in the state constitution. However, I do not believe that there is any place in our society for private citizens to own or use military-style assault weapons, especially those equipped with large capacity magazines or bump stocks. I will support common sense gun safety laws which ban the sale of these types of weapons and I will support universal background checks.
