DEMOCRATIC PARTY PLATFORM 2004 ON GUN CONTROL [View all]

Here is the Democratic Party's platform on Gun Control 2004 Presidential Election:

Reauthorize assault weapons ban, close gun show loophole

We will protect Americans’ Second Amendment right to own firearms, and we will keep guns out of the hands of criminals and terrorists by fighting gun crime, reauthorizing the assault weapons ban, and closing the gun show loophole, as President Bush proposed and failed to do.
Source: The Democratic Platform for America, p.18 Jul 10, 2004
Strengthen gun control to reduce violence

Democrats passed the Brady Law and the Assault Weapons Ban. We increased federal, state, and local gun crime prosecution by 22 percent since 1992. Now gun crime is down by 35 percent. Now we must do even more. We need mandatory child safety locks. We should require a photo license I.D., a background check, and a gun safety test to buy a new handgun. We support more federal gun prosecutors and giving states and communities another 10,000 prosecutors to fight gun crime.

Do you agree with the most recent party platform or not?

I guess the fact that he was entrapped by the ATF doesn't really matter to you Hoyt, does it. AH1Apache Apr 2012 #65

"Entrapped"? BS. the racist pig was at an Aryan Nation meeting and agreed to sell illegal guns Hoyt Apr 2012 #69
