“Oh yes. They're lethal weapons. I would have to wonder why they're in a rush to buy a handgun. If they are in imminent danger, then they should call the police.”
— Madeleine Sewing, registered nurse, Lawrence
“I don't think that you should be able to buy a handgun at all. So at the very least I think there should be a waiting period - your whole lifetime, maybe.”
— Caine Kreimendahl, teacher, Olathe
“No. It's a Second Amendment issue. You have the right to buy a gun whenever you want to. From an outdoorsman's perspective, that's kind of the way I feel about it.”
— Luke Short, Kansas University senior, Lawrence
“Yes. There's a waiting period to get a marriage license; there should be one to get a gun.”
— Amelia Volgarino, Internet clerk, Lawrence
