That guns do more than protect us from criminals; more importantly, they protect us from the ongoing threat of government.

I believe good governments have nothing to hide. We want to ensure we maintain confidence in our public institutions.

Well, again, a gun sale database is just trying to get the Department of Justice to keep track of the guns that they're purchasing and supplying to drug dealers and murderers. I mean, wow. Come on, let's get the government under control before we start restricting the rights of - innocent citizens.

So many deaths could be prevented if measures were implemented to expand background checks and keep individuals like John Hinckley from ever buying firearms in the first place.

We need sensible gun safety measures. The federal government could do something about this; they could show up.

Clearly, a large number of people who shouldn't have firearms actually apply through the process and obtain firearms.

I think having a national system that tracks who owns guns is fine. I don't think we need to be printing it on the Internet.

If we are going to be serious about enforcing the law, we have to have a background record check system to make sure that people don't get weapons who shouldn't.

Obviously, we think it's important to make sure that firearms do not get in the hands of people who are criminals, convicted felons or adjudicated as mentally ill.

I don't think it's any secret that the public has lost confidence in the state government, and there's a lot of work that needs to be done on issues related to public integrity.
