Howard Mills on Gun Control

Second Amendment an integral part of our freedoms

I believe that the Second Amendment is an integral part of our freedoms and that law-abiding Americans have the right to keep and bear arms. I support instant background checks to prevent criminals from procuring arms, and support programs such as Project EXILE, where persons caught with illegal weapons are strictly punished. I believe that instead of new laws, we should devote our energies toward ridding our streets and communities of illegal weapons and ensure the safety of all Americans.
