MRCtv’s Joe Schoffstall visited a town hall being held by Jim Moran on preventing another Newtown Massacre and he asked Moran if crime stats don’t go down, will they ever go after handguns. Moran responds that there are always paranoid people who worry about the government eventually banning handguns, but there’s no plan to do that now.
But he is for making sure you can only purchase 1 handgun per month:
TRANSCRIPT:
MRCTV: This is going back to crime stats and the like: If you were to, say the 94 Assault Weapons Ban, if you were to implement another Assault Weapons Ban and crime stats didn’t go down and you even put a limit to how many bullets can be in a gun, would this eventually lead to a point you go after handguns?
MORAN: I….I can understand that there’s always going to be people who are ‘paranoid’ over government attempting to intrude into their life and their own financial (unintelligible). There’s no plan to go after handguns, although I do support legislation that would limit the purchase of handguns to no more than one a month, which seems to be reasonable.
