I am not American, but in relation to the first part of the question - as far as I can see both presidents are pro gun.
If I had a vote in this election, I would be attracted to any candidate who stood for much tighter gun control (by which I mean it becoming illegal for ordinary people to own a gun), but it would not be the key issue to me, it would not be as big an issue as say - mass nationalisation - without compensation - of key industries, and the confiscation of the assets of the wealthy. Realistically though, at present someone standing on a radical working class platform could not get more than 5% of the vote - at least in this election.
