Candidates & Gun Control

On one of my personal top issues, gun control, i agree with the ideas of John McCain... Here are a list of his views...the items in red are ones i don't agree with...
  • knows how to use guns; doesn't own one.
  • Prosecute criminals, not citizens for gun ownership.
  • Don't hold gun manufacturers liable for crimes.
  • Opposes restrictions on assault weapons and ammunition types.
  • Ban cheap guns; require safety locks; for gun show checks.
  • Supports ban on certain assault weapons.
  • Voted against Brady Bill & assault weapon ban.
  • Guns are a problem, but so are violent web sites & videos.
  • Punish criminals who abuse 2nd Amendment rights.
  • Youth Violence Prevention Act restricts guns for kids.
  • Repeal existing gun restrictions; penalize criminal use.
  • Voted YES on prohibiting lawsuits against gun manufacturers.
  • Voted YES on banning lawsuits against gun manufacturers for gun violence.
  • Voted NO on background checks at gun shows.
  • Voted YES on more penalties for gun & drug violations.
  • Voted YES on loosening license & background checks at gun shows.
  • Voted YES on maintaining current law: guns sold without trigger locks.
I disagree severely with Barack Obama. I once again highlighted the items i disagree with in red...
  • Provide some common-sense enforcement on gun licensing.
  • Cosponsored bill to limit purchases to 1 gun per month.
  • Stop unscrupulous gun dealers dumping guns in cities.
  • Keep guns out of inner cities--but also problem of morality.
  • Ban semi-automatics, and more possession restrictions.
  • Voted NO on prohibiting lawsuits against gun manufacturers.
Of course, i can hardly agree with anything coming from Mrs. Clinton...she is, in fact, a strait up idiot:
  • Against illegal guns, crack down on illegal gun dealers.
  • Backed off a national licensing registration plan on guns.
  • Get assault weapons & guns off the street.
  • Background check system could prevent Virginia Tech massacre.
  • Congress' failure at Littleton(columbine) response inspired Senate run.
  • Keep guns away from people who shouldn’t have them.
  • Limit access to weapons; look for early warning signs.
  • License and register all handgun sales.
  • Tough gun control keeps guns out of wrong hands.
  • Gun control protects our children.
  • Don’t water down sensible gun control legislation.
  • Lock up guns; store ammo separately.
  • Ban kids’ unsupervised access to guns.
  • Get weapons off the streets; zero tolerance for weapons.
  • Voted NO on prohibiting lawsuits against gun manufacturers.
  • Voted NO on banning lawsuits against gun manufacturers for gun violence.

At Grand Valley, there are services every sunday for every major religion (including catholicism), and there is a campus "Crusade for Christ". At Aquinas, which is a Catholic College, there are multiple student organizations, along with a lot of diferent mission trips throughout the year. Also, there is also a chapel on campus, which has services every day.
