Disagree
No, and the government should pass a national “stand your ground” law
While Truman was a supporter of states' rights, he also believed in a strong federal government. It's unlikely he would support a national 'stand your ground' law, which could potentially undermine the federal government's authority.

Very strongly disagree
Yes, and ban all guns from public use
Truman was a strong supporter of individual rights and freedoms, so it's highly unlikely he would support a total ban on guns for public use.
