Excert taken from a NH Voter's Voice Forum I think that rather than regulate or attemp to regulate, uh pass a law and say that you can't use a gun for all citizens. I think that the proper kind of gun control is to impose penalties on people that muuse weapons or who use them in the commission of crime. I would be very strong on that, but the example that I would use, uh I used too as an educational secretary, give awards to schools that were weapons free or drug free. Federal law has never caused that to happen, tha only thing that ever caused that to happen was when communities and individuals and parents, sheriffs and others worked together to make those things happen. I think that in order to control the use of weaponsin a way that people won't hurt each other. That you have to first appeal to their behavior and second regulate their behavior, not their purchase of weapon. I just don't think that federal laws restricting guns work. Much less the issue of the second amendment, which I believe is an important part of our constitution annd gives the people the right to bear arms. I am not a member of the NRA. I hunt sometimes, but not a lot, but I believe that's a part of the fabric of American life and what I would do as Governor, which is where most of the criminal laws are, 95%, is to impose a law that imposes the harshest penalty on people who use weapons in the commission of ah of ah crimes.
