Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg unveiled a host of gun control proposals Thursday, including universal background checks and a ban on military-style assault weapons.

“Pete knows that America can protect gun rights and balance the Second Amendment with sensible gun laws,” his campaign website states. “He understands that solving the gun violence epidemic requires a comprehensive approach, and that begins with universal background checks as the foundation for reducing gun violence. Pete also understands that solutions to gun violence are not an ‘either-or’ proposition, and universal background checks must be accompanied by a package of other reforms to reduce gun deaths nationwide — deaths caused by suicide, daily urban violence, school shootings, domestic violence, and accidents.”
