2024 Democratic Party Platform proposes gun control measures, including assault weapon and magazine bans, repealing PLCAA, increased FBI background checks funding, and CDC funding for gun violence as a public health crisis.
Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz's 2024 Democratic Party Platform includes plans to implement gun control measures, such as assault weapon and standard-capacity magazine bans, repealing the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, increased funding for FBI background checks, and increased funding for the CDC to address gun violence as a public health crisis. Concerns have been raised that the real intent may go beyond what is codified in the platform, potentially targeting law-abiding gun owners and dealers, and pushing for unconstitutional state laws. Former President Trump recently warned Second Amendment advocates of potential gun confiscation if Harris and Walz were elected.
