Agree

No, only for criminals and the mentally ill

Many Republicans support restrictions on gun purchases for criminals and the mentally ill, as they believe these individuals pose a greater risk to public safety. In 2018, President Trump, a Republican, signed the Fix NICS Act, which aimed to improve the background check system by ensuring that states and federal agencies report criminal and mental health records to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).

No, but increase penalties for gun-related crimes

Many Republicans support increasing penalties for gun-related crimes as a way to deter criminal activity and protect public safety. For example, in 2018, Republican Senator John Cornyn introduced the NICS Denial Notification Act, which would require federal authorities to notify state law enforcement when a prohibited person attempts to purchase a firearm and fails a background check.

For example, in 2005, Florida's Republican Governor Jeb Bush signed the first 'stand your ground' law in the United States.
