Alabamians are ready for more gun control.
At least that’s what their Democratic Sen. Doug Jones said.
Jones wants tighter background checks for gun sales and to raise the age requirement to purchase a gun from 18 to 21, and he thinks Alabamians are on the same page.
“People in Alabama love their guns, but they also love their children,” Jones told CNN Friday at an event at Birmingham’s Civil Rights Institute sponsored by the Faith and Politics Institute, NOLA.com reported. “And they like to be safe in theaters, and they like to be safe in churches, and I think there is common ground.”
Lawmakers are considering a host of proposals in the latest round of talks surrounding mass shootings after a 19-year-old gunman killed 17 people at a high school in Parkland, Florida, in February.
A Democrat from a deeply red state, Jones has his eye fixed on the middle of the political spectrum and hopes the gun debate can be a harbinger of greater bipartisan efforts on other issues.

Feel better yet?
I feel great and I strongly suggest that you stay out of my
LZ for now on. Capische!
Already dead on arrival in the super-majority Republican state House and Senate of Alabama.
Corrupt or not, we will have to disagree on whether Strange would have beaten the Gun Grabbing Rat.
The fact he was easily defeated in the primary is testament to that. The fact that he drew ANY primary opposition showed how damaged goods he was. I knew the moment Bentley made the appointment that this seat was in serious jeopardy. As I’ve said before, Bentley deserves 100% of the blame here for setting the loss of this seat in motion.
Are you threatening me?
No but I will report you to the Admin Moderator
I'll save you the time....
