LITTLE ROCK, AR- The gun debate is not over.
Lawmakers say the gun battle will soon be back on the Senate floor.
That has some people worried, especially gun enthusiasts who say we should enforce the gun laws that are already on the books.
The issue has divided the nation.
At first, many called for a ban on certain guns and ammunition, now there are calls for tougher background checks.
Donna Terrell talks with one mother, Regina Pryor, who knows about guns, specifically , one of the most controversial, the AR-15.
"They call them assault rifles, but they are not assault rifles," says Pryor.
"If people understood the truth of the gun there would not be quite as much fear."
Pryor learned to shoot a few years ago, mainly to protect herself and her family.
"This AR-15 is one of the semi automatic rifles that's so controversial. And the "AR" doesn't stand for assault rifle, it's Armalite, the company that use to make this gun."
Supporters say they like it because it's great for protection at home. And they say it's an easy gun for a women to handle.
"Let's say you have a home invasion, that AR for the woman is going to be a lot easier for her to use than that shotgun."

It’s a cryin shame, but those willing to destroy the Second Amendment by exercising the First Amendment will soon be prohibited from doing so by Congressional activation of the Constitutional fairness doctrine.
Did anyone see the CNBC program last night on the AR-15? It was fairly interesting but they did spend extra time on those injured by people with those firearms and too much time on tattooed former cops who operate shooting schools.
This program was only on the AR-15 and variants and not the Ruger Mini-14 or any other .223 rifle.
Made me want an AR-15 again.
When I was very young, my first rifle was a spring action Daisy BB gun. The bargain was that after I had used up three cardboard canisters of BBs, practicing on a plywood target they couldn’t even penetrate, I would get a “serious”, pump BB-pellet rifle.
After all that range practice, I could play that spring Daisy like a violin, and upgrading to a surprisingly powerful pump action was a bit of a shock. That thing *could usually* penetrate my plywood target, so I needed to erect a backstop to keep from damaging the cinder blocks behind it.
The deal then was two cylinders of BBs and one of pellets, and I would get a target quality .22 iron sights. First hundred rounds .22 shorts, but after that, long rifle.
When I finished that up, I got a scope for the .22. Again, a whole ‘nother ball of wax.
But as a bonus, after I reached the .22 level, I could fire any gun I wanted to, but couldn’t own my first handgun until I paid for it with my own money. A wise idea, for being tight as a Scotsman guaranteed that I would shop around to find a gun that would not just sit in a closet and rust, but be *my* gun.
I think that you were very well trained. It is a great story!
You’re precisely right, dearest wita.
