Do you believe tougher gun control laws will help curb violence in the United States? |

 |
I think that you have to try something. The jury is still out. People who violate gun laws don’t care about laws and we have to do more to prevent illegal guns from getting into the community. |
Leonard Alkins Retired Brockton |
 |
Yes. At a minimum, people on the left and the right should all be able to agree that nobody should own guns whose main purpose is to kill as many people as possible. |
Mariama White-Hammond Project HIP-HOP Dorchester |
 |
Yes, if applied across all the states evenly. We can’t have some states with lax gun laws and others with strict ones because we don’t have borders. |
Sean Daughtry Chemist Roxbury |
 |
Yes, particularly those related to the gun supply chain. That’s why I filed legislation to tighten up our gun control laws in mid-January. |
Sonia Chang-Diaz State Senator Jamaica Plain |
 |
I don’t think so. I think individuals who want guns will be able to get them no matter what. You’ve got to change mindsets, not laws. |
Jamaal Eversley Painter Randolph |
 |
Absolutely. I think it’ll lower crime and suicides. |
