  11. Polling Students Gun Control Place an “X” in the space next to the views YOU agree with most. ____ 1. Supports Brady Bill & thoughtful gun control. Supports trigger locks, licensing, & banning some guns. ____ 2. Mandatory background checks & child safety locks. Agrees with Bush on banning weapons; but wants registration Nationally mandated, state-run system of photo licensing. Take on the NRA with presidential leadership. Passed toughest gun control in 30 years; same for next 30. Maximize gun control within what’s politically possible. _____ 3. Stop using heinous crimes to take away 2nd amendment rights. Faithfully protects 2nd Amendment, except for felons. Gun laws didn’t stop Littleton shootings. (Jun 1999) _____ 4. Government should pay for voluntary trigger locks. Agrees trigger locks; but wants more enforcement. Project Sentry: juvenile gun laws & school accountability. Would sign, but would not push, gun restrictions. Ban automatic weapons & high-capacity ammunition clips. Information obtained from www.issues2000.org
