What do you think about the Supreme Courts Ruling Supporting Gun Ownership?
-
I agree with it. Everyone should be able to own a gun, it’s our right as Americans
-
Guns should not be taken outside of one’s home…they should only be used for self defense
-
I don’t support violence of any sort…having a gun only leads to trouble
-
People have owned guns anyway, the ruling doesn’t make a difference
-
I think the decision will cause more problems later on
