Ronnie Musgrove on Gun Control 2008 Senate challenger; previously Democratic MS Governor

Second Amendment privileges, with safety education

A: As an avid sportsman, I believe a person ought to have the right to exercise his or her Second Amendment privileges. We need more safety education of our young people--that’s the way to make sure that we teach our young people about guns and the benefit and the dangers. Secondly, though, as we give our young people a better opportunity in schools and more hope of a better job opportunity upon completion, then we reduce a child’s reason and desire to drop out of school and get into trouble. Our strongest investment has to be in prevention through education.
