Gun control initiative wins support SAN BERNARDINO – (INT) – President Obama is getting a generally favorable response to his gun control initiative.
Larry Gaines is a professor of criminology at Cal State San Bernardino. Gaines believes a ban on ‘military-style’ assault weapons, limits on ammunition and background checks on all gun sales is a good start. But, more needs to be done. “We have thousands of people killed each year as a result of guns. We need to control guns on the street and not only for individuals who are mentally ill or deranged.” Professor Gaines noted that last year in San Bernardino, 35 people were murdered in gun violence.
