United States Presidential Candidates for the 2008 election

Stances on Gun Control

I have organized the US Presidential candidates for 2008 (in alphabetical order) by their gun control stance. Where possible, I’ve included their stated views (via video) on the subject or the 2nd Amendment.

If anyone wants another video included, just contact me. It must be from either a) a camera in the audience during a public event or b) from a debate or other public message. I’m not going to include any hand edited videos from users (they have their place, and that place is YouTube).
