REAL SIMPLE BIMBO. Guns don't kill people, people kill people...

Helen in East Lake

We have got to stop it. It's all over the United States. I'm sick of the drugs, the violence. And I'm sick of the crime, the robberies, the shootings, stabbings...

Wayne in Birmingham

I don't feel that America is trustworthy anymore. We can't trust ourselves. And, it relates back to the scripture, in Chronicles II 7:14... I think we're too far gone for anything else to be of benefit to us.

George in Dora

I think we have to very, very, very much tighten up on the guns, the gun users, the gun owners and anything involved with firearms. We've been so lax over so many years that it's just turned in to the wild wild west.

James in Birmingham

We as a society need to learn, relearn how to love one another and to have compassion on one another. That fine art has been lost.

Hollis in Chelsea

Everybody carry their own 6 shooters, 9 shots or 11 shots. That way all the thieves, the dope heads will know that everybody's armed... If you shoot at one, somebody's gonna shoot you back...
