Yet in interviews with 12 Donald Trump delegates at his Republican Party nominating convention in Milwaukee, none advocated for limits or bans on assault rifles, raising the legal age to buy a gun, or even more robust background checks.

Most viewed even mild measures, such as expanded background checks, or raising the legal age to buy an assault weapon to 21, as infringements on the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment, which grants citizens the right to own guns.

Steve Kramer, from Georgia, said it was a "lie" that expanded background checks would help. "If you look at most of the killings, someone stole the gun, so background checks wouldn't matter," Kramer said.

Between 1966 and 2019, apart from school shooters who mainly stole their weapons from family members, most people who committed mass shooting had bought their weapons legally, according to data compiled by the National Institute of Justice, a research agency of the Department of Justice.
