Liberal Gun Owners group is aiming to change the way both Republicans and Democrats think about how the U.S. deals with politicies surrounding firearms.
Gun ownership among American voters is the highest on record, and not just on the right. Multiple studies show there has been a sharp rise in the percentage of Democrats who report having firearms in their homes in recent years – and some of them feel their views on the issue are not being heard by either major party in today's polarized political climate.
After a few years, LGO cleaned house to remove extremists of all stripes from their group. The organization has received hundreds of thousands of requests from people who wanted to join over the years, but is very selective in who they let in. LGO is now a think tank that has around 5,000 people, including gun-owning academics, that weigh in with constructive views, statistics, and solutions aimed at preserving gun rights for Americans while addressing public safety.
In their policy positions, they support NICS background checks, conceal carry licensure, the TSA's current requirements for gun storage when flying, and the idea of punishment for gun storage negligence . LGO is against universal background checks, an "assault" weapons ban , magazine capacity restrictions, feature bans, red flag laws, and complex licensing systems. The think tank also believes gun ownership restrictions due to marijuana use and mental health need to be reanalyzed.
