| This is Gambit 90 reporting for the FOR US, NIGHTLY NEWS. | |
| We're going to ask the public how they feel about gun control and how they feel about the Southern Poverty Law Center calling patriots domestic terrorists. | |
| Do you think citizens should be allowed to have assault weapons? | |
| I believe that they should, but they shouldn't have the kinds that people are killing each other with. | |
| I think people should be allowed to have guns just because of collectors. | |
| Like for recreational purposes and if you have the right license to have the guns, but I don't think the right should be taken away from people. | |
| Absolutely, and they fall within the guidelines that they are contributing members of society and that they are responsible. | |
| Absolutely. | |
| No! | |
| Yes, sir, in case anything goes wrong with the country in the future. | |
| Absolutely. | |
| I mean, I think that they should be able to have handguns. | |
| I don't think that, you know, a semi-automatic shouldn't be available to the local public, no. | |
| I think we should, because I live in the western end, and you know what? | |
| Some people show up, and who knows who the hell they are? | |
| Yes, I do. | |
| Yes. | |
| Do you think gun control keeps guns out of the hands of criminals? | |
| No, they just get them anyways. | |
| Yeah, they would find a way to get them. | |
| Definitely not. | |
| It's just like drugs. | |
| The people that legally have guns are not the ones that are going out and doing these shootings. | |
| It's all the illegal ones. | |
| Pretty vague question. | |
| Absolutely not, because there are other ways that criminals can get them within cities, within the country, across by boat, smugglers, human traffickers, etc. | |
| Absolutely not. | |
| Sometimes somebody knocks on your door and you don't know who the hell they are and at the end of the day, it could be a criminal. | |
| No, I don't. | |
| Absolutely not. | |
| I do not. | |
| No. | |
| No. | |
| Not at all. | |
| Should the government have the authority to change or abolish the Second Amendment? | |
| No, absolutely not. | |
| That's why it's there. | |
| Change? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Abolish? | |
| No. | |
| Things that don't work, they take out or they change. | |
| It's that simple. | |
| No, sir. | |
| Not at all. | |
| Absolutely not. | |
| No, no, the government shouldn't have any of that power because that's bulls**t. It's taking away our rights and it's not fair to us because when somebody knocks at your front door and they're a criminal, well what the f**k are you going to do? | |
| Absolutely not. | |
| They already messed with the Constitution enough. | |
| No. | |
| No. | |
| Not at all. | |
| What are your thoughts about the Southern Poverty Law Center now telling Homeland Security that patriot groups such as the Oath Keepers and any patriotic group is a domestic terror? | |
| It's baloney. | |
| It's ridiculous. | |
| They're just taking our rights away. | |
| It just continues. | |
| It's wrong. | |
| It really aggravates me. | |
| Politicians are going way overboard here with things. | |
| Way overboard. | |
| Well, I think the Tea Party are complete right-wing fanatics, so anything that keeps them in check, I'm okay with. | |
| The Southern Poverty People... Southern Poverty Law... Yeah, you know. | |
| I always get that name wrong. | |
| I'll take them over any government agency any damn day, so... That kind of gives you your answer there, right? | |
| I think that's bullsh**. | |
| And as you can see, the public has different thoughts about gun control. | |
