Dole Takes More Pro Gun Stance





Elizabeth Dole, seeking the Republican Party nomination to succeed North Carolina’s retiring Senator Jesse Helms, is changing her position on gun control. As a Republican presidential candidate in 2000, Dole supported banning certain semiautomatic firearms, and criticized state laws allowing citizens to carry concealed firearms. Now, the former head of the American Red Cross and wife of former U.S. Senator and presidential candidate Bob Dole, says new restrictions are not needed “on those who already observe the thousands of gun laws on the books.” In a recent letter to the North Carolina Rifle and Pistol Association, Dole explained that the ban on “assault weapons” apparently has had “little effect on crime prevention” and wants to review its effectiveness. She also now believes that North Carolina’s right-to-carry law is working and is a “common sense proposal.” She believes that what is effective “is the Instant Check System. We should stick with what works,” Dole says.
