Thompson voted for the Domestic Violence Offender gun ban. This restricts the ownership and use of guns or any form of ammunition from domestic violence. He believes background checks at gun shows are not neccessary and there should be less penalties for drug and gun violence.

//" strongly support the Second Amendment of the Constitution, which protects an individual’s right to keep and bear arms. Gun control is touted as a major crime-control measure. But some of the places with the strictest gun-control laws also have high violent-crime rates. Disarming law-abiding citizens does not prevent crime. The answer to violent crime is smart, effective, and aggressive law enforcement."//
