September's Security Scanner Web poll also shows almost one in four believe some measures should be taken, however, with the leading solution being to ban assault-type weapons followed by making guns harder to obtain. The gun control issue is especially complicated for the security industry as a higher proliferation of guns suggests an elevated perception of threat with firearms perhaps being chosen instead of security systems (particularly monitored residential and small business). And fewer firearms could indicate a lower perceived threat and thus also potentially less need for security solutions. incidents such as July's shooting massacre at an Aurora, Colo., movie theater affect your stance on gun control?
