In one advertisement on television, the police want the public to vote “yes” on Question 3 for more gun control. In another ad, the police support a “no” vote. That is confusing. But all the laws that are needed are already on the books. The police should know that.

Criminals don’t need a mother, father, brother, sister or other relative. They just find a person on the street who is selling drugs and ask him where they can get a gun. Police should know that.

Here is my question about Question 3: If out hunting and I let a friend use my gun and he doesn’t give it back to me that day, then someone else breaks into his house, what would happen to my friend (and me) if he shot the intruder with my gun?

The big thing is simply that criminals will always be able to get guns; always. Police have to get the criminals who use guns and put them in jail with an automatic sentence.
