My students seem to lean toward minimal gun control except for automatic weapons. I teach in an all-girls school, so this might seem surprising, but 1)we are in the city of Chicago, and 2) many of our parents work for the city in law enforcement. The students heavily favor mandated safety training and stricter licensing requirements.
My students are split on gun control. We live in Lake County in an area where ther is minimal gun violence. Some of the boys are hunters.
