Do you support Obama’s campaign to ban assault weapons; if so why, do you think he will be successful?
Jeffrey Brown
“Yeah, I am in support of it, and I think it has a good chance of passing. I think they should be banned because don’t nobody need that many bullets. I’ve been shot up twice, and something needs to be done.”
Peggy Newman
“I think it’s a good idea that he is doing it, but I think without the support of the neighborhood and stuff, it’s not going to be successful. But I think he will make an impact, so I think it’s a good thing.”
Verla Friend
“Yes, because those (guns) are not just for protection, and they kill more than one person at a time. If they can get rid of those, so many people wouldn’t get killed. I think he will be successful in getting them banned. It’s going to be hard, but I think he will.”
Tiara Hardy
“Yes, because it’s going to stop most of the crime and violence in Chicago, so I think it will be a good outcome. I know he will be successful in getting it done. He has been successful in a lot of stuff people didn’t think he could do. People down him in what he try to do, but I have faith in him. He wouldn’t be the president if he couldn’t.”
Corey Williams
“I think it’s a good idea, but I don’t think he’s going to get too far with it because as soon as they get confiscated, someone else is going to put them right back there out on the streets. Until he gets the inside straightened out, it’s not going to work.”
Barbara Frazier
“Yes I am. I don’t think they should be in the hands of everyone. They should only be in the hands of the military. It seems like they come into the country, or however they are getting them. The gangs are getting them so easily, and innocent kids are getting killed. I think he will get the ban.
