*comment: What are your policies or position on gun control?
Thank you for your recent email regarding AARP’s position on federal gun
control.
For more than a decade, AARP has supported federal measures to control the
availability of handguns because of their frequent use in the commission of
violent crimes. Handguns continue to present a serious threat to citizens of
all ages. In 1993, over 13,000 people were killed with handguns. At least $1
billion is spent annually on medical costs associated with the treatment of
individuals who have been shot.
The prevalence of violence in some neighborhoods has resulted in many older
persons becoming virtual prisoners in their homes. Increasingly, individuals
living in the inner city are suffering the loss of children and grandchildren
who are the victims of violent crimes and senseless shootings.
Further, the lack of restrictions on handgun sales in certain states enables
gun runners to purchase guns that they can then resell in states with more
restrictive laws. This lack of uniformity among the states significantly
undermines their ability to control handgun availability.
Increased criminal activity involving automatic and semiautomatic weapons
persuaded the Association in 1989 to expand its earlier gun control policy to
include these weapons. This policy now reads as follows:
The federal government must continue to control the availability of handguns
and semiautomatic and automatic weapons because of their frequent use in the
commission of violent crimes. The expiration date for the requirement for a
five-day waiting period in the Brady Bill should be eliminated. The assault
weapons ban should not be repealed.
AARP supported both the Brady bill, passed in November 1993, and the
assault
weapons ban, which was included in the 1994 crime bill. The Brady Bill
institutes a waiting period of five business days for all handgun purchases,
providing time to check the purchaser's background. The bill also raises
licensing fees for gun dealers and requires that police be notified of any
multiple gun purchases. However, the waiting period provision expires after
five years, to be replaced with a nationwide "instant-check" system
that will
screen out felons through the use of computerized criminal records.
The ban on assault weapons outlaws for 10 years the manufacture and
possession
of 19 assault weapons, as well as copycat models and semiautomatic guns with
two or more characteristics associated with assault weapons. The measure also
bans ammunition-feeding devices that hold more than 10 rounds. AARP would
oppose any proposal to repeal the ban on assault weapons or weaken the Brady
bill.
Overall, AARP always tries to ensure that policy positions presented before
the
Congress, Executive Branch, and state legislatures express the views and
priorities of a majority of our members. Our policy development process is
designed to ensure that the views of our members are solicited and taken into
account. For more information about this process, please visit AARP Webplace:
