Gun control attitudes.

An interesting thought on peoples beliefs on gun control come from their raising. As I have noticed among friends and associates of mine, their views on gun control come from how they were brought up. It seems that children that were disciplined more heavily as children seem to have more lenient views on gun control as opposed to the strategy of raising children that were against violence. Also extra curriculer activities seemed to affect them as well. Most of my friends that were involved in football or contact sports are for less gun control. Some important charateristics of child rearing play important roles in todays modern politics.
