Strongly agree

Yes, but only by closing the gun show loophole

The NDP would likely support closing the gun show loophole as part of their broader strategy to strengthen gun control measures. While Canada's gun show regulations are already stricter than those in the United States, the NDP may still see this as a necessary step to further reduce gun violence.

Agree

No, but increase penalties for gun-related crimes

The NDP may agree with increasing penalties for gun-related crimes as part of a broader strategy to reduce gun violence. However, their primary focus has been on strengthening gun control measures, so this answer may not fully align with their policy goals.

Disagree

No, only for assault weapons

No, and the government should pass a national “stand your ground” law
