A right to possess a gun in your home?

Jeff Berkowitz: Should everybody in the 7th Cong. District have a right to possess a gun, if they want to, in their home?

Cong. Danny Davis (D-Chicago, 7th CD): Absolutely not. I think that guns—

Jeff Berkowitz: If somebody lives in an unsafe area, they still can’t have a gun in their home—

Cong. Danny Davis: I think that guns are made to kill people and the more guns that they are around the more people will get killed. As a matter of fact, I am of the opinion that the only people who should have a weapon are really people in law enforcement.

Cong. Davis “doesn’t believe,” in the 2nd Amendment?

Jeff Berkowitz: So, you don’t believe in the 2nd Amendment?

Cong. Danny Davis: No, I don’t.

Jeff Berkowitz: You would repeal the 2nd Amendment?

Cong. Danny Davis: Let me tell you. I think that laws are made to reflect times. And, I don’t want to see everybody running around with a handgun under the seat of their car.

No handguns even in your home?

Jeff Berkowitz: What about in their home?

Cong. Danny Davis: Or, behind the door in their house. Or, some uzis in—

Jeff Berkowitz: You don’t want to see them have a handgun in their home?

Cong. Danny Davis: I don’t want to see them have an uzi in their home.

Jeff Berkowitz: …just a handgun?

Cong. Davis and his father debate gun control:

Cong. Danny Davis: Well, I don’t want to see handguns because I think only law enforcement people—you can conceal these, too easily. And, so certainly I wouldn’t’ want to see any proliferation of handguns. And, of course, much of the way we feel about guns really has to do with what the environment produces. I grew up in the rural south and everybody there pretty much had a shotgun and a rifle. When I moved my father, he had both, as well as a Derringer. And I said, Daddy, don’t you know that I am for gun control. He said, ”well, you can be for whatever you want to be for…but I have been controlling guys from coming in my house.” [where he lived and lived alone].
