Ralph Nader on Gun Control
2008 Independent for for President; 2004 Reform nominee; 2000 Green nominee
Support Brady Bill & thoughtful gun control
Nader supports the Green Party Platform, which states:
We support the �Brady Bill� and thoughtful, carefully considered GUN CONTROL.

Supports trigger locks, licensing, & banning some guns
Some people are killed or injured with guns and some law-abiding people want to use guns for self-defense. How do you blend the two?
Make sure the weapons are designed safely with trigger locks.
Strong law enforcement so that they�re not falling into the hands of criminals.
Look at a weapon the way you look at a car. You�ve got to know how to handle it. You should be licensed.
There are certain weapons that should be banned.
If you do all that, both interests will be protected.
