"— Supports a 24-hour waiting period for gun purchases.
— Open to supporting a requirement that all guns kept in a home need to be stored with a lock, though not 100% committed to the idea."

Source #9: 8/5/2016: “These statistics here showing that gun owners and non-gun owners alike think that universal background checks are a very common sense and reasonable step towards public safety,” he said.
A number of candidates referenced a VPR poll suggesting that 89 percent of Vermonters, including 82 percent of gun owners, want universal background checks.

Source #8: 7/25/16: On gun rights, all three Democrats said they would support universal background checks. Smith and Ram added they would ban guns in bars and take away guns of people accused of domestic violence — policies that rankle gun owners and have failed to move beyond Burlington’s failed charter changes.
Zuckerman suggested anything is on the table, including regulation of semi-automatic magazine capacity. However, he said none of his gun control views would stop a law-abiding Vermonter buy or shoot firearms.
“None of those things stop any U.S. or Vermont citizen from getting the gun they want if they don’t have that criminal background record,” Zuckerman said.

Source #6: 6/23/2016: “It seems like [semi-automatic firearms] are not really necessary to the world of hunting and self defense. If you’re using a pistol or rifle for self defense, that should do. But, I just think it’s not necessary to have semi-automatic weapons for the most part. (WCAX, 6/22/16) – David Zuckerman, Democrat candidate for Lt. Governor.
