What residents are saying about today’s issues

TIM WATSON

Houma

I think it’s a good idea, but it will be abused. It’s OK to get guns away from crazy people, but this will be just to try and lead to other deeper restrictions.

RILEY VERDIN

Houma

It’s another in a long line of examples of Obama doing something that’s not popular by the people who elected him.

GARY PALMER

Houma

I am buying everything I can now, because I know it will be unavailable soon. You give an inch, they take a million feet.

MICHAEL HARDY

Thibodaux

I want the world to be safer, but making something illegal does nothing. How has that worked out for the drug war? Are there fewer drugs available?

JENNY NGUYEN

Bourg

You can’t expect people to obey your wishes. If you tell people they can’t have a gun, they’ll be more likely to want one.

TRESSA ADAMS

Houma

I think that the answer is to mentor people and help them. Evil people will kill with anything – it doesn’t have to be a gun.
