Which sentence is grammatically correct?

"Everyone should be able to live like this, but I'm gonna do everything in my power to make sure they can't."


"Everyone should be able to live like this, but I'm gonna do everything in my power to make sure they aren't."

It should be "can't". The sentence seems slightly self-contradictory, but it is not necessarily wrong. "gonna" should not be used except in very casual contexts.
