"Meet the Press" moderator Chuck Todd traveled to Madison, Wis. to speak with "Reach Out Wisconsin," a group comprised of voters across party lines, about what kind of gun reforms they wish legislators would implement.
The conversation took place ahead of Saturday's "March for Our Lives," an anti-gun violence rally in Washington. Answers ranged from all exchanges of firearms going through licensed dealers to more education upon purchasing a firearm.

CHUCK TODD: What's one thing you-- you wish we could-- you wish we would try when it comes to guns and you don't understand why we haven't?
HANS NOELDNER: I'm inclined to think it would be worthwhile to stipulate that all exchanges of firearms have to go through licensed dealers. And they are responsible to do the background checks and make sure that I's are dotted and the T's are crossed. If we're not using laws on the books and some things are falling through the cracks that way new legislation isn't going to fix that.
BETSY ERICKSON: I'm going to put a big issue out on the table which is that I think that we should regulate semi-automatic, high-velocity rifles in the same way that we regulate automatic rifles. I think that that would have stemmed a lot of loss of life.
PATRICIA ZANTON: One thing I would like to see at least for school shootings is I think that there might be a contagion effect with-- the SHOOTER being publicized, his name, his photo that they've-- it feeds off of-- it leads to other shootings. Like you see with suicides that teens are more likely to commit suicide if they see it in the media with celebrities.
NOELLE LONG: I think it would be beneficial if-- for example, going through concealed carry training-- as I know some of us have-- we went through gun safety and even learning the laws and regulations around it and the potential punishments of something were to have gone wrong by your hand or anyone else's I-- I'm not opposed to--
CHUCK TODD: More education.
NOELLE LONG: More education or upon the purchase-of, of a firearm, just have that education if nothing' else.
KALEEM CAIRE: I think there needs to be a way to trace back the weapons that are purchased to those dealers. And they should be held accountable.
