“It’s hard to say, because
people are still going to go
out of their way just to get a
gun.”
Karwaski Mitchell
“Yes. I think they should
implement a bill that would
control who gets a gun or not.
I think they have the power
to do it, they just don’t want
to.”
Ccusand Alexander
“Definitely. Even felons can
get guns. It’s too easy, it’s too
dangerous. They need to be
more strict about it, because
people are dying from guns
every day.”
Andrez Reid
“Assault weapons -1 can’t
think of a reason to have
those.”
Kevin Perry

“I think Congress should
challenge those who try to
justify owning automatic rifles
and extended clips, but not
necessarily hand guns.”
Tray Sneed
“No, I don’t. I think there’s
too much government in our
lives as it is now. As is the
situation with Mexico, only
the bad guys have guns.”
Stan Cathell
“Yes. I am against assault
weapons. I would imagine
they should not be sold.”
Barbara Pryor
“I would say, ‘Yes.’ I believe
everybody should have
weapons, but I don’t know
about assault weapons.”
Craig Smoak
“Absolutely. I like the idea of
having an armed police officer
in all of our schools. I think
our teachers and our children
would feel better if we do
that.”
Gerald Freedman
“I sort of have had mixed
feelings on that. I believe in
an individual’s right to protect
themselves, but I think more
could be done for school
safety. I think there should be
some sort of trained person in
all schools.”
Nicole Maslanka
“I believe in gun safety and
the right to bear arms, but I
believe more really has to be
considered about the mental
health of people.”
David Thomson
“I think they should up the
security in schools.”
