Davis has fought to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and away from children while protecting the rights of law-abiding gun owners. His accomplishments include:
The nation's most comprehensive ban of military-style assault weapons, including
a ban on high-capacity magazines.
A ban on unsafe handguns targeting so-called "Saturday Night Specials" that are 3 times more likely to be used in a crime than any other weapon.
Stricter regulations for promotion and licensing of gun shows.
