A map of the Labor Convention gun vote

[This user has not been convicted of 34 felonies]

I voted against the amendment mainly because my own views on guns have changed quite a bit and I mostly object to the idea of banning assault weapons out of hand. I believe stricter gun safety measures should be taken and we should explore a voluntary weapons buyback with strong incentives. That being said, the party is clearly divided on this issue and it shouldn’t be something we make a focal point—I think many of us would agree that there are rational steps to be taken to make guns safer and keep them out of the hands of dangerous people, but our disagreements should not undermine party unity.
