Question: Isn't this really a problem with the judges not telling the offenders yo have to surrender your firearms, the problem is the judges aren't enforcing the law.
Answer: Raskin – Multiple collateral consequences to lots of criminal convictions, and the judges don't, as a matter of course, don't tell everybody every conceivable consequence.

Question: Do you think that is intentional, I mena this one seems serious, do you think that it's intentional?
Answer: Raskin – I think that they are busy they've got other things on their mind, and it's our responsibility as the General Assembly to safeguard the public safety and the public interest in general. If 125 out of 125 were telling offenders they need to surrender their firearms we wouldn't be here, but they aren't so we need to create a procedure for it. So this says not only must the judges tell the offenders they have got to turn over their firearms, but it also creates a procedure for it.

Question: Are there penalties for judges not complying
Answer: - Raskin – No, but they are judges and they will comply

Question: Mass shootings on campus, how does this law prevent mass shooting from happening on campuses, does it prevent a mass hooter from bringing a gun on campuses.
Answer: Matellino – The bill isn't about mass shootings, it is about the shootings that occur when it is a one on one. We have to move beyond this hollywood image of if we all had guns we could fire back and stop a mass shooting. Not sure if a law like this would have stopped VA Tech. We are trying to make sure it stops violence on campuses.

Question: What about for self defense, say a rape victim wants to carry a pistol?
Answer: Matellino – One of the things we need to point out is one of the leading causes of death by handgun is suicide, is not a murder. We're trying to say, look, this is a place where so many other things are going on in ones life, that guns do not belong in this atmosphere.

Question: But what about a rape victim that wants to carry a pistol for safety.
Answer: Matellino and off camera – Guns don't belong on campus; It's a sanctuary, a gun free sanctuary. A college campus is going to be a gun free sanctuary, they don't belong on our college campuses for anybody.

That was clearly Miller off camera mentioning the sanctuary.
