As a result, all of the major Democratic presidential candidates have built gun control policies into their platforms or have staked out their positions on the stump.
Most of the Democratic contenders have a few gun-control positions in common: support for universal background checks, an assault weapons ban, and so-called "red flag" laws that would allow police to confiscate guns from persons deemed dangerous to themselves or others. |

"Republicans point to the Second Amendment and perhaps a self-defense shooting."
Perhaps? PERHAPS?

"[A] CDC study conducted on data from 1996, 1997, and 1998 has been uncovered. The study, which was never released to the public, shows approximately 2.46 million DGUs per year."

TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
