Your Dam Opinion: “Do you think guns make society safer or more violent, and why?”

by Kaitlyn Mitchum

“Do you think guns make society safer or more violent, and why?”


Sam Becker

Sophomore – Accounting Major

“I definitely support the right for able bodied people to own firearms. I don’t think that guns necessarily make society more violent. I think that in the right hands they can protect us and in the wrong hands they can harm us.”


Samuel Washington

Junior – Criminal Justice Major

“I feel as if there were no guns than there would be no problem with guns to begin with.”


Cheyenne Miller

Sophomore – Undecided

“I honestly feel very conflicted on guns. Having grown up around guns, I feel comfortable around them and respect that folks want to keep them. However I think that more rigorous programs to keep guns in check are needed. I think there is a fine line between too many guns and restricting people’s rights, and right now our country is struggling on that line.”
