At this Sunday’s town-hall style presidential debate the public is able to vote for their favorite questions. The ABC News and CNN moderators plan on using the 30 questions that receive the most votes.
Largely because of efforts by gun control organizations, the current top two questions are both on gun control.
The first is, “Would you support requiring criminal background checks for all gun sales?” and the second is, "How will you ensure the 2nd amendment is protected?”
By Sunday morning at this writing, those questions had received 73,844 and 64,041 votes, respectively, well ahead of the third-place question on Social Security (40,846 votes).
I've researched guns in America for over 20 years, writing four books and dozens of academic articles on the subject. Here is how I would have answered these two questions.
