Bullock, in change from 2016, supports universal background checks
In an opinion piece that ran last week in newspapers around the country, Montana’s Democratic Gov. Steve Bullock made a significant change in his views on gun policy by endorsing universal background checks. It’s a shift some see as Bullock positioning himself for a presidential run in 2020.
“Let’s focus on what works. Most gun owners are law abiding, yet too often guns get into the wrong hands. That’s why the first step ought to be universal background checks and cracking down on straw purchases of guns,” Bullock wrote in the opinion piece that first appeared in newspapers that are part of the USA Today Network.
