Do you support further federal restrictions on firearms? If so, which restrictions?
Crow: As a hunter and former Army Ranger, I know that there are many responsible gun owners in Colorado, but I also know what guns are capable of and that common- sense reforms are needed to reduce gun violence. It’s why I helped pass common- sense solutions that will make our churches, schools, homes and communities safer from gun violence. As co- chair of the Gun Violence Prevention Task Force, I helped secure $ 25 million in federal research funding for gun violence, helped pass the universal background checks act, introduced a bill that would close the loophole on interstate firearm sales and stood with victims of gun violence by helping introduce legislation that would repeal gun sellers and manufacturers from liability.
House: I support significant improvements in the federal background check system which lacks data important to the background process. I support the implementation of new mental health resources and protocols in schools, in physician practices and an educational program to reduce the stigma of seeking mental health support.
Olsen: No! The right to bear arms is one of those “unalienable” rights referred to in the Declaration of Independence. It is not a right granted by the Bill of Rights. It is a preexisting right protected by the Bill of Rights.
