DAYTON -- A heated debate is expected Wednesday after President Obama releases his gun control proposals which is expected to include a ban on assault weapons.
The president recommendations come a month after the Sandy Hook school shooting.
Sim Training Academy in Moraine has a mission to teach first time shooters like our reporter, Annette Peagler, how to appropriately handle a firearm.
Mark Avery is one of the senior instructors at Sim Training Academy and he says the right to bear arms is a right every American should explore, as long as it's done correctly. He doesn't agree with some of Ohio laws that prohibit guns in schools and churches.
"If you prohibit people from having firearms in all of those locations, there won't be anybody who is a law abiding citizen who is going to do what's necessary to stop something bad from happening," said Avery.
Bad incidents like the Sandy Hook shooting that killed 20 kids and six adults. Avery says he's interested to hear what gun control plans President Obama will propose Wednesday.
"I suspect I won't agree with it, I suspect the 4 million members of the NRA won't agree with it and the 80 million to 100 million gun owners in this country aren't going to agree with it," Avery explained.
The president's proposals are expected to include a ban on assault weapons, restrictions on high-capacity ammunition magazines and strengthening federal background checks of people attempting to buy guns.
"I think background checks are good, every time I make a purchase I have a background check," said Phyllis Williams, a Kettering resident.
Many people like Williams are in favor of some of the president's recommendations, she just hopes whatever his team recommends that it prevents another school shooting from happening.
"And my hope is that house and the Senate will be serious about the proposals and be logical and sensible," said Williams.
