#tellusatoday: What do you think about gun limits?

We asked our followers on Twitter what they thought of "gun-free zones" and an assault weapons ban. Comments are edited for clarity and grammar:

Gun-free zones apply only to law-abiding citizens. Crazies and criminals will ignore them. They have little value.

— @MomInStL

There should be a ban on assault weapons. I have not heard any reasonable argument for a valid need of this weapon.

— @mpolack

No assault weapons ban either. It is a feel good "solution" that has no basis in logic.

— @Merlin0088

Put harder regulations in place for illegal use/ownership. It's wrong to punish so many for so few.

— @Jake__Springer

How many children must die before adults give up these massacre-creating machines? How many disturbed young males are still out there?

— @Moonlitechirp

I'd rather see armed security guards in every school, not just in the most troubled ones. Gun control has never worked.

— @GRFnewyork

There is no good reason for a private citizen to own an assault weapon.
