[speaker001:] hi uh how do you feel about gun control
[speaker002:] oh I don't like a total ban on it but on the other hand I don't like total idiots pulling what they did down in uh my home state of Texas down in uh near Fort Hood
[speaker001:] yeah uh-huh
[speaker002:] uh I think the right of ownership needs to be protected but I don't think there's too much wrong with having it registered and having you think about it a little bit
[speaker001:] I don't think so either and I think that every gun should be covered cover covered
[speaker002:] um
[speaker001:] because I think that uh and it doesn't hurt people to have a waiting period
[speaker002:] well they make us wait to get married in most states I don't
[speaker001:] yes right
[speaker002:] unless you want to fly to Las Vegas or so
[speaker001:] uh-huh but I
[speaker002:] yeah uh it's just sickening I was on the University of Texas campus when that Chapman climbed the tower and killed twenty two people one of my friends was wounded and he was from
[speaker001:] kill a
[speaker002:] La Paz Bolivia and they flew and got his mother here real quick but and a hippie pulled him out of the out of the additional gunshot range so ever since then old Oscar said hippies are okay my buddy
[speaker001:] uh
[speaker002:] it was back in the sixties when Vietnam was going on so
[speaker001:] yes I remember when that happened
[speaker002:] so I've lived in New York City where they have a uh pistol control and uh big deal you go across the county line into Yonkers and you can buy a pistol and come back into the city
[speaker001:] so there isn't really a gun control there
[speaker002:] not really
[speaker001:] no
[speaker002:] uh
[speaker001:] well I I think that every gun should be covered from rifles and the automatics and and handguns because people need if they're out after a gun they need a cooling off period
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] we have guns in our home but my husband uh used to hunt all my sons hunt
[speaker002:] um I've got a shotgun and a pistol
[speaker001:] oh we have
[speaker002:] and the kids have BBs
[speaker001:] sometimes I think they're about as dangerous but uh
[speaker002:] well I'd shoot it more often it wasn't against the city ordinance those birds steal my dog's bird dog food my I don't think that's fair
[speaker001:] yeah well we live close to the Wasatch well we live right on the Wasatch front so we're only about well we have mountains in our backyard and the deer come down and eat our
[speaker002:] um
[speaker001:] uh shrubs during the winter
[speaker002:] do they really
[speaker001:] uh-huh we we had a snow storm the other day and the deer come down and eat the shrubs they keep them trimmed for us
[speaker002:] we got the air-conditioning going in the building today
[speaker001:] oh my heck
[speaker002:] it must be seventy five degrees out there
[speaker001:] I think it's about twenty well it's about twenty eight here
[speaker002:] I don't think that has anything to do with gun control
[speaker001:] no
[speaker002:] uh
[speaker001:] but I I'm I
[speaker002:] I I don't think it's a constitutional well so what if it's constitutional or not if if if my wife drives to west Texas alone she's going to carry a gun I don't care what they say
[speaker001:] well don't you think too if the government I mean like in Yugoslavia and these places that the government comes in and takes over China don't you think if the people had a gun they would have more say in in in establishing a democracy
[speaker002:] uh-huh wasn't that amazing Yugoslavia was a semi Soviet state and no guns were allowed and all of a sudden everybody has one that wants to fight the war where did they come from
[speaker001:] yeah uh-huh
[speaker002:] they were hidden under the bed all these years
[speaker001:] then they must have been
[speaker002:] I don't know I don't know
[speaker001:] they must have been hidden somewhere because they came out
[speaker002:] well you know one thing about the Killeen situation that was pointed up is there were a lot of military people in the in and around
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] uh if the military had been allowed to carry even side arms they could have stopped this idiot quicker
[speaker001:] um-hum uh-huh uh-huh
[speaker002:] uh I had a cop once say in Texas it's not against the law let's see what I say I said it would be all right legally if I put on a a side gun and walked down the street with a gun strapped on my side it's clear view and you couldn't arrest me he said yes I can arrest you I said what for he said breaking the peace I said who's peace am a bothering he said mine I'm the cop that was that was a joke it was a joke
[speaker001:] is that right oh
[speaker002:] oh but I think if you take them away from everybody then only criminals will have it and you would have more problems but but registration won't hurt anybody will it
[speaker001:] no that's what I think that it should be is registration and guns that can be traced
[speaker002:] yeah you can go to pawnshop I don't I don't know if you all live near big city Salt Lake City if they've got them or not but you go to a pawnshop and buy it for cash and you don't have to show nothing
[speaker001:] but then no I think they have um and you just hand over the cash and that's it
[speaker002:] yeah you if you can show them a driver's license but you can steal those so easily it's pitiful
[speaker001:] uh-huh well I'm about an eight on that I think that uh that we need gun control but you know so many laws would be uh necessary if we'd just use common sense
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] you know just registering the guns and wow I don't know I guess people lose their common sense when they when they get mad or when they
[speaker002:] get too drunk
[speaker001:] uh-huh uh-huh
[speaker002:] I'll be there's a law in Texas says you can't have them in bar I think it would be a lot more sense if they say please check them at the front door because I know people are in there with them on
[speaker001:] oh really
[speaker002:] oh yeah I it just nerve racking to know that if you're in a
[speaker001:] that that you're in the bar and somebody has a gun next to you
[speaker002:] yeah they're not supposed to but then again so
