That’s why Chellie favors common sense gun safety measures to keep weapons of war out of the hands of dangerous people. That includes a ban on bumpstocks, ... a ban on high-capacity magazines; and the closing of the 'gun show loophole'
Support common-sense gun safety measures, including bans on bump stocks and high-capacity magazines and closing the gun show loophole.
Occurrences
Chellie believes we must take measures to ensure all firearms are kept securely and out of the reach of children to avoid accidents. We must also find ways to lower the gun suicide rate by keeping firearms out of the hands of those considering harming themselves or others.
Evidence
The Community Safety page states that Pingree supports gun-safety measures including the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act and, specifically, H.R. 396 (Closing the Bump Stock Loophole Act), H.R. 715 (Bipartisan Background Checks Act), H.R. 2403 (Enhanced Background Checks Act, which would close the Charleston loophole), H.R. 1478 (the Federal Firearm Licensee Act, which expands background checks to gun-show and online-marketplace facilitators), and related gun-violence prevention measures.
Assessments
Pingree promised to support common-sense gun safety measures, including bump stock restrictions, high-capacity magazine limits, and closing the gun show loophole. The evidence shows her official House materials documented support for specific federal bills addressing bump stocks, background checks, gun-show and online-marketplace facilitators, and related gun-violence prevention measures while she remained in office. Because the promise was framed as support rather than guaranteeing final enactment, documented support for matching federal measures satisfies the commitment in the same term context.
