For My English class I had to create a survey, and I chose to make mine on gun control. I would really appreciate it if you guys would take the time to answer the questions. If you don't wish to post the answers here, feel free to e-mail me the answers at oespi002@fiu.edu. Feel free to post the survey on any other forums you visit, and if you know of any forums that are pro gun control, please let me know so I can post this survey there as well.

What is your race____C_______ What is your sex______M________

1. In general, do you feel that laws covering the sale of firearms should be made more strict, less strict or kept as they are now?

A. More Strict B. Less Strict C. Same D. Not Sure

E. None of the above apply. Laws should be constructed to control irresponsible behavior without penalizing the innocent. Should not ask society to carry guilt for the few.


2. Register all handguns, at the time of purchase, so that they could be traced by the police when necessary for criminal investigations.

A. Approve B. Disapprove C. Not Sure

Disapprove. Criminals do not bother to register. See answer to the first question.

3. Require all handgun buyers to pass a criminal background check, whether they are buying the gun from a gun dealer or a private individual; at a store or gun show?

A. Approve B. Disapprove C. Not Sure

Approve

4. Ban the possession of handguns except by the police and other authorized personnel.

A. Approve B. Disapprove C. Not Sure

Disapprove. This assumes guilt/lack of responsibility on the part of non LEO. No restrictions should be placed on personal freedoms unless that specific individual is provably injurious to others. See answer to first question.

5. Require all guns sold in the US to have a trigger lock, a device that prevents a gun from being fired until the device is unlocked and removed.

A. Approve B. Disapprove C. Not Sure

Approve having the lock, but not enforced use. Breeds irresponsibility through assumption of security. Trigger locks are the least effective method of controlling firearms, next to "smart guns". Both can be stolen and exceedingly easily be "liberated" at the thieve's leisure.

6. Hold adults criminally responsible if they fail to store a gun safely and a child harms himself or someone else with that gun.

A. Approve B. Disapprove C. Not Sure

Approve, particularly if it is shown to be a pattern of negligence.

7. The government should do everything it can to keep handguns out of the hands of criminals, even if it means that it will be harder for law-abiding citizens to purchase handguns.

A. Strongly Agree B. Agree C. Not sure D. Disagree E. Strongly Disagree

Strongly Disagree. Society should not be held captive and guilty for the sins of others.

In your opinion, does the US Constitution guarantee individual citizens the right to own firearms?

A. Yes B. No C. Not Sure

Yes. Beyond that I feel that no restrictions should be made on personal liberty that are not justified by that individual's specific behavior. See answer to question 4.
 
Even though this is unscientific and the results don't represent any kind of unbiased cross-section of America, I can't help but participate. :)

If I may suggest one more question for your survey.

Something pertaining to penalties for usung a gun in the commision of a crime
Along the lines of the 10-20-Life programs
 
Joab -- I really wouldn't just limit it to just firearms, but any instrument of deadly force. But then again, his survey does seem to be about pro/anti gun control. I just hate to see guns singled out for special treatment among all of the other means of deadly force.
 
Again I'd like to thank everyone for responding. Keep em coming.

Would like to know at what age are you considered a child under 18 or what
Click to expand...

I never really thought about it, but I would assume under 18 since 18 is when you're considered legally an adult, I believe.

Unlike other means of deadly force used by civilians, guns are really the only ones whos only purpose is to destroy whatever its aiming at. Guns are also much more efficient at it.
 
Background: How old are you?

I am 18 years old.
What is your religion?

I am a Christian.
What is your race?

I am Caucasian.
What is your sex?

I am male.

In general, do you feel that laws covering the sale of firearms should be made more strict, less strict or kept as they are now?

B. Less Strict, Current laws prohibit anyone with a felony conviction from owning a gun. Not all felonies are examples of someone being dangerous and shouldn't therefore bar them from ever owning a gun. For example, someone who stole from their employer does not in my mind represent a danger to themself or others.

Register all handguns, at the time of purchase, so that they could be traced by the police when necessary for criminal investigations.

B. Disapprove, Angencies such as the BATFE have a history of abusing such records and therefore can't be trusted with them. Also, as already noted criminals don't bother to register

Require all handgun buyers to pass a criminal background check, whether they are buying the gun from a gun dealer or a private individual; at a store or gun show?
Click to expand...

B. Disapprove, A private citizen should not be required to go to the expense of conducting this procedure.

Ban the possession of handguns except by the police and other authorized personnel.
Click to expand...

B. Disapprove, The only murder committed with a registered fully automatic firearm since their strict regulation began in the 1930's was committed by a police officer. That says enough.

Require all guns sold in the US to have a trigger lock, a device that prevents a gun from being fired until the device is unlocked and removed.
Click to expand...

B. Disapprove, It is the buyer of the handgun's decision whether or not to get a safety device to go with their firearm. Manufacturers and dealers should not be required to bear the financial burden of providing such devices.

Hold adults criminally responsible if they fail to store a gun safely and a child harms himself or someone else with that gun.
Click to expand...

B. Disapprove, Hold them financially liable. They did not intentionally cause the accident and should not therefore face criminal charges. A civil suit is another matter.

The government should do everything it can to keep handguns out of the hands of criminals, even if it means that it will be harder for law-abiding citizens to purchase handguns.
Click to expand...

E. Strongly Disagree, Law abiding handgun owners are, I believe, far more effective at foiling violent criminals than the government will ever be.

In your opinion, does the US Constitution guarantee individual citizens the right to own firearms?
Click to expand...

A. Yes, The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
