No Labels 2022 Membership Survey

June 2022

Democrats and Republicans in both the House and Senate are working on gun policy proposals that they believe can win bipartisan support. At the same time, House Democrats are rolling out a series of proposals on guns that are not expected to win significant Republican support and are unlikely to pass the Senate with the required 60 votes. And some bipartisan talks revolve around areas such as mental health and school security as solutions that don’t involve restrictions on access to guns.

We would like to know what our community thinks about some of the measures under consideration. By completing the survey below, you are affirming your membership in No Labels.

* 2. Federal laws prohibit the purchase of handguns by anyone below the age of 21, but do permit the purchase of semi-automatic rifles and other “long guns” by anyone 18 or older.

Question Title

* 3. Bipartisan discussions on “red flag” laws—which allow police or family members to petition a court to temporarily remove firearms from the possession of a person who may present a danger to others or themselves—are making progress in the Senate. Such laws exist in 19 states. How supportive are you of federal legislation?

Very supportive. Red flag laws should be adopted the federal level.

Somewhat supportive. Red flag laws should only be enacted at the state level.

Not supportive. Red flag laws impinge on personal liberties.

No opinion/I don't know.

Question Title

* 4. Two weeks before the Uvalde shooting, Senators Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and Chris Murphy (D-CT) introduced bipartisan legislation to reauthorize the 2016 Mental Health Reform Act, which is set to expire in September. Their bill would reauthorize the federal mental health and substance abuse programs created by that law. How supportive are you of this legislation?

Very supportive. National mental health programs are essential to reducing gun violence.

Somewhat supportive. These are local and state issues—not federal ones.

Not supportive. There is no role for government in this area at all.

No opinion/I don't know.

Question Title

* 5. Among the measures being discussed at the federal level is new funding for school security, including funds to arm teachers. Which is closest to your view?

Federal funds should go to increased school security AND to training and arming teachers.

Federal funds should go to increased school security, but NOT to arming teachers.

Teachers should be trained and armed, BUT federal dollars should not go to increased school security.
