Trump:(-)
Trump believes that the Democrats approach to confiscate all guns will leave criminals as the only ones with weapons, but believes Republicans need to be more flexible on reforms. Democrats want to confiscate all guns, which is a dumb idea because only the law-abiding citizens would turn in their guns and the bad guys would be the only ones left armed. The Republicans walk the NRA line and refuse even limited restrictions. I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I also support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun. With today s Internet technology we should be able to tell within seventy-two hours if a potential gun owner has a record. (The America We Deserve)

Rubio:(+)

Huckabee:(+):
Huckabee said that the Second Amendment is not about hunting, it s about our freedom, and it s about our capacity to defend ourselves, and our property. (YouTube)

Santorum:(-):
Santorum has voted several times in favor of legislation that would expand gun control efforts by mandating background checks on private firearms sales. This measure would have required a federal gun registry to ensure effective enforcement. (Senate.gov)

Fiorina:( ):
Fiorina has argued that people on the no-fly list should not have their Second Amendment rights terminated, but rather should be adjudicated by a court: â€¦The no-fly list has been unfortunately way too large. And I know people who have been on it, who have been stopped. And if we permit anyone who is on that no-fly list to have their 2nd Amendment rights taken away from them, that's a terrible problem.

Clinton, Sanders- why bother.
