[speaker001:] what do you think on uh on a scale of one to ten where would you rate yourself on on gun control
[speaker002:] uh one being maximum control or minimal control
[speaker001:] most and ten being no restrictions at all
[speaker002:] that well I guess probably somewhere in the middle I've uh mixed feelings about it
[speaker001:] um-hum yeah I think I'd be be somewhere around a four or five myself and yeah it it seems to me like there's there's
[speaker002:] uh yeah
[speaker001:] it's not it's not fair to just kind of do everything all the same with all guns because they're not all the same you know
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] like hand guns and guns uh assault rifles I think are a little bit different than rifles and shotguns
[speaker002:] yeah yeah
[speaker001:] so
[speaker002:] well um I ours my families from uh south Georgia and you know they hunt quite a bit so I I really don't you know guns just something that you have down there and uh uh so I I tend to agree on that you know but uh assault rifles you know that's that's made to made to kill somebody you know
[speaker001:] and you don't need three hundred rounds a minute to to get hold of a deer and
[speaker002:] uh yeah so yeah I feel
[speaker001:] and if you did it really wouldn't be worth eating so you know
[speaker002:] yeah right or cleaning
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] but uh I I've heard some uh talk about you know having like a three day waiting period or something uh if you to try to buy a firearm or something
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] and I don't I don't have a problem with that you know I think if you've got a if you've got a history of uh of violent crimes or something then you certainly don't need a
[speaker001:] yeah yeah that makes sense that that makes a lot of sense I don't see uh
[speaker002:] hand gun
[speaker001:] I mean it's not like you're gonna go hey I'll go hunting today
[speaker002:] uh yeah
[speaker001:] and and usually if you're gonna go hunting it's pretty early in the morning anyway and the store is not gonna be open so
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] a three day waiting period makes perfect sense to me I guess the only real questions then is um is gun control does it does it work I mean can you enforce it
[speaker002:] yeah well uh I think it it I mean if you can if you're gonna commit some violent crime and you go and you can get a gun at your leisure then uh to to restrict it would certainly cut down on on that but you know that people you can get a gun fairly easily I would think I mean I I feel like I could get a gun in an hour if I had to you know so uh obviously it's not gonna
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] uh get rid of all all of your um illegal weapons out there or or dangerous you know get dangerous weapons out of people's hands but uh I think it'd help some
[speaker001:] yeah they don't I guess I mean the only thing that I worry I question is I mean I think if if it was really easy to enforce that it it would be great the only thing that uh that would worry me about it is that the only real way that I know to enforce it is if someone commits a crime while having a weapon that's not registered you can tag on a couple of extra years
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] but as it is now you put someone in prison and they're out in you know one fifth the time they were sentenced to anyway
[speaker002:] yeah no time right
[speaker001:] so I mean they're not they're not even staying in prison without the extra years on there much less I don't think they'd be staying any longer with extra years tagged on there
[speaker002:] yeah yeah yeah I don't I don't really think uh I mean I think gun control uh to some extent can could help crime situations but uh I think I personally my personal belief is you know as you commit a crime you know you should be punished and and and if you know you are not going to get punished or very little punishment then there's no reason not to
[speaker001:] um-hum I think you might've had the I I guess I mean I'm that's got to be part of gun control but I like the idea of the uh the waiting period because I don't think that I mean I really think that if someone wants to get a gun to commit a crime they're gonna get a gun but uh
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] if someone is just like all hot and bothered and and ready to go out and and and get someone just because they're all charged up emotionally
[speaker002:] right yeah
[speaker001:] that a three day waiting period you're not gonna stay that angry for that long
[speaker002:] yeah usually not
[speaker001:] least I'm not
[speaker002:] yeah I I I agree at least you have a little bit of time to think about it
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] and uh I think I don't know that accounts for at least some of the shootings that go on so in the heat of the moment just go out and buy a gun right then and
[speaker001:] yeah
