Street Talk: December 26, 2012

Are tighter gun laws needed to reduce violence?

Patricia Isaac, 54
Disabled, Opa-locka

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Yeah, for sure. However, people should be able to get guns if they’re homeowners and are protecting their families, not to shoot up people.”


Fred Andrews, 60
Retired, Allapattah

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Sure, I would say so. The less guns, the less people getting shot. And they also need to revisit the laws regarding concealed weapons too.”


Tony Flanory, 48
Landscaper, Miami

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Yes, they need to. All of these random killings occur because it’s so easy to get assault rifles and semi-automatic weapons.”


Joe Parker, 47
Cook, Liberty City

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Yeah, but with the existence of the black market you could still get guns anyway. People are still going to sell them — illegally of course. And kids would still break into stores to steal them.”


James Watley, 65
Retired, Allapattah

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Yes sir. They need to stop giving these gun licenses away so easily. In some cases all you have to do is show an ID. No background check, no nothing.”


Willie Newkirk, 71
Motivational Speaker, Liberty City

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Yes, by all means. They have too many assault weapons accessible. Obama can’t do it all, it’s up to the Congress, local and state governments too.”
