Mark Dayton on Gun Control

Democratic Governor; previously Senator

 


Against gun registration

All three candidates agreed on virtually all aspects of the issue. Gibson suggested the government put more money into enforcing existing laws. Grams chided Dayton for saying he was against gun registration, saying he (Dayton) had answered several surveys to the contrary.

Opposes gun licensing and gun registration

Grams Attack: When asked about a bill where, if you file your taxes, you will have to claim every gun and there’s a tax on guns, Grams responded, “Right. That’s what Mark Dayton would support.”

FACT: Mark Dayton opposes gun licensing and gun registration. Mark will not let anyone take away his rights and he won’t let anyone take away the rights of Minnesota hunters.

For background checks & trigger locks

I support the Second Amendment and will continue my support as Senator. I support current law, including the ban on assault weapons and I support the federal law, including background checks on all purchasers of firearms. I do believe that trigger locks should be provided on new handguns, and I believe those who sell guns at gun shows should be subject to the same requirements as other firearm dealers.

Zero tolerance for guns in schools

I strongly support the law which makes it a federal offense to possess and discharge a gun within 1,000 feet of a school. There should be zero tolerance for guns in schools!

The bill calls for criminal background checks on all firearm transactions at gun shows where at least 75 guns are sold. Exemptions would be made available for dealers selling guns from their homes as well as members-only gun swaps and meets carried out by nonprofit hunting clubs.
