Pastor John Pierre works with "Solutions not Shootings" in Central City New Orleans, LA to help curb violence. In the week before we met Past Pierre three people had been murdered with guns in the neighborhood. Pastor Pierre also lost his son to gun violence this past fall. He supports the plan to Fix Gun Checks.
Anyone with any sense is against gun violence. Attempts to indiscriminately restrict and ban guns only leads to increased crime. The background checks are not the issue, it is the criminals that are the problem. Criminals have, will and do not abide by laws. Changes to background checks will not have any positive impact on gun violence. Criminals will always use back-alley deals to buy stolen guns and changes to background checks will only affect law-abiding citizens.
