Recently Gun control has been put under the scope of Congress and the American People.
Subsequently due to recent events; such as Sandy Hook, and aurora shooting, it is seen
that citizens ever growing concern for Gunrights, and gun control is rising. Let's see what
students think about this. I'm here with Sophomore Krishna Pathak. Krishna do you think there
should be any further restrictions on Gun Control? No because I think if you look at
the past events from shootings that have occurred you can't really blame gun control with that
because that's an example of societall decay not really a rise in gun sales because if
you think about it countrys like Mexico they have a full on ban on guns and they almost
have more yearly murders then plus the second amendment says it right there 'the right to
bear arms' because of an oppressive government, Not to hunt ducks because well, if you didn't
shoot ducks back then you didn't eat and that's why they also need it as well. You can't prove
that in the next 200 years the government will become oppressive, you can't prove it.
Generally I think when it comes to gun control you can't really ban assault weapons, as bad
as it sounds, but on hand guns or really any guns there should be tighter background checks
and psychriatric tests, and stuff like that.There you have it Thank You Krishna. I'm here with
Sophomore Bryce Peters. Bryce, do you know anyone that has been shot or wounded from
guns? Uhhh, yes this girl that actually goes to Carmel, she got shot I think a couple months
ago. From a guy that was trying to steal her wallet. She lives across the streets from
my Grandparents so that's how I know her. She did not die, she got shot in the leg,
it was actually rather tragic. That is very tragic. Bryce do you think there should be
any further restrictions on Gun Control Umm no I don't, I don't think there should be
restrictions. I think there should be restrictions on fully automatic guns, like AK-47's and
stuff like that. But I think guns such as Pistols and Shot- Guns like that, I think
that's OK. Thank You.I'm here with Senior Cam. Cam, do you think there should be any
further restrictions in Gun Control? I think the Gun Control are pretty good. There's talk
about the magazines being smaller, but I like all the magazines, I'm a sports illustrated
kind of guy. But I think that if (cough-laugh) we just make it any smaller, that'd just be
a shame. But I think it is good to maybe take away some big guns because they could be dangerous.
Okay Thank-you/. So that's how people feel about gun rights and gun control. I'm Ben
Thatcher with CHTV, thanks for watching.
