RALEIGH -- The topic of guns is definitely a polarizing subject. Debates have heightened after events like last week's mass shooting in a Florida school. Now some lawmakers here in North Carolina are looking to find answers.

 “This gives, like people who were in Florida, who knew this young man was potentially violent, wanted to be a school shooter, that they could take action,” says Rep. Marcia Morey, a Durham County Democrat who used to sit on the bench.

Morey says she wants to take the current domestic violence protection law and expand it so anyone who has a concern about someone who owns a gun, can go to the court to get it taken away.

“Whereas in domestic violence you have to have a specific relationship with a person,” says Morey, “this says if a person, a teacher, someone who has knowledge of public safety can take action.”           

“Before we take people's constitutional rights, they are entitled to due process under the fifth amendment,” says Paul Valone, Grass Roots NC president.

Gun right advocates say Morey’s proposal is not a good idea. They say a constitutional right, like owning a gun, should not be taken away without a full hearing first.

Grass Roots North Carolina says, even in the wake of mass shooting, people should not be so quick to point fingers at gun owners- and try to change laws.

“Until 1968 a teenager could order semi-automatic firearms by mail,” says Valone. “So, the question becomes what's different now? And I would argue what's different now is that it’s been 30 years and our moral relativism has eroded. Long term solution is we need to address that.”

There are other ideas out there too, including one to allow more guns to be available, in case a incident like the Florida shooting were to happen again.

“We have to get over this useless hysteria about guns and allow school personnel to have a chance to defend their lives and the lives of their students,” said Rep. Larry Pittman, a Cabarrus County Republican last week the day after the shooting.

Lawmakers are not back in session again until May, and no bills could be filed for consideration until then.
