'Those of us in elected office owe it to you, to do whatever it takes, even if it means losing an election every now and then to keep you safe,' Buttigieg said.
South Bend Mayor and 2020 presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg appeared to get choked up during a campaign stop Sunday when a second-grade student asked him what he would do to make schools safer.
"To me that means making sure that we take a whole bunch of steps in terms of what it takes to get a gun, that we make it harder for somebody who is dangerous to get a gun or somebody who is ill or somebody that has a history of harming the people they love," Buttigieg told the elementary school student."It means we've got to change what kinds of weapons people can get."
The mayor's campaign website also lists removing the"boyfriend loophole," a gap in current gun legislation that allows a man or woman convicted of domestic violence against a dating partner to still purchase a gun legally. Presently, only dating partners who share a child and are convicted of domestic abuse are prohibited from gun ownership.
