DES MOINES, Iowa - Democratic presidential contenders urged Congress on Saturday to take action to curb gun violence in the wake of mass shootings last weekend in Texas and Ohio that left 31 dead.
They also said they believed the long-standing debate on gun violence in America was shifting in favor of stronger restrictions.The candidates took questions from gun-control advocates and shooting survivors at a forum sponsored by Everytown for Gun Safety, an advocacy group founded by former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
“They have no basis in our neighborhoods in peacetime in the United States of America,” Buttigieg said. Many have called for measures such as an assault weapon ban, universal background checks and other gun control reforms long stymied by partisan fighting in Washington. Klobuchar suggested Trump would not take on the group, however. “We have a guy in the White House who is afraid, afraid of the NRA,” she said.
