Local resident Carol Cannon also urged Council's support. During the past two years, her only two sons were shot and killed by assailants

Who used handguns, not assault weapons:

Mrs. Cannon lost two sons to guns. In 1995, her 26-year-old son, Johnny Cannon Jr., was shot 11 times in the head in Over-the-Rhine. Two years later, her second son, Derrick, 26, was shot to death in front of a crowd at the Imperial Club on Woodburn Avenue in East Walnut Hills.

She is among those who want gun makers to pay, claiming guns could be made safer and are marketed too freely and recklessly.

“The only people profiting are the gun manufacturers, the prisons, the funeral homes and the cemeteries,” the Evanston woman said. “I've lost two sons from illegal handguns. I have been fighting a losing battle.”
