helicopters flying through the air day and night rounds of assault rifle ammo popping as the choppers buzz over the land now this unique form of hell of terror is no longer restricted to those in vietnam in the middle east now houston miami residents of the good old usa can get in on the fun houston residents in terror called nine one one and scrambled for cover and even to schools put on lockdown as the military helicopters participate in a multi-agency training for ill in miami at night in the middle of downtown onlookers caught video on their telephones of blackhawk helicopters pumping loud blank on to the people below and maybe even as i speak a flexibly scheduled military drill could be happening in jasper county south carolina you know when i was a kid they tell us about how the evil soviet union would parade their tanks around how there were soldiers all over their oppressed country even in one thousand nine hundred four all made it a point to describe our military helicopters would eternally be overhead and
8:29 am
a dystopian nightmare world now we're living the nightmare the united states is a huge country there's plenty of room on remote army bases to do your training also last time i checked afghanistan you don't look like downtown miami just who are you training to kill anyways knock off the terror trainings but that's just my opinion .

8:31 am
assessment i believe. when people are hurt they have the tendency to hurt there is and the thing that can heal that is love and so i'm my stance but i personally believe it is to teach more how to love how do you love your neighbor how do you love your friends love the teachers love students and that will that will decrease kind may not necessarily end diminish kinds of events. and this is our first task as a society keeping our children safe this is how we will be judged and then grant. good way from. grant said i think there should be some changes we should learn from what happened at sandy hook i feel really bad in the month
8:32 am
since twenty precious children and six brave adults were violently taken from us at sandy hook elementary more than nine hundred of our fellow americans have reportedly died at the end of a gun so i'm putting forward a specific set of proposals but as important as these steps are they are in no way a substitute for action from members of congress. that you get to five shows you shoot in forty five long which you stand with five or you could have fourteen shots you know i think and to not have first for each man have a little fun if you. want but they can have you know safest dark house you know corners and stuff like that why they are his role they know they're the only ones
8:33 am
in the house somebody is not supposed to be there you know they've got again it's not just we're going to bring these a shot and not have as much recall but without enough spread that you think of her childhood that nobody wants to see. in america a year you know if you're an american citizen and depending on where you live now i said california new york they have a lot of restrictions and i mean as a run our country seems to be kind of being you know the level of restriction which started you know sort of a feel that's right certain people don't necessarily agree with it but rather here being we see and we're still you know pretty pretty happy for second mineral rights so we kind of try to protect them but try to be responsible same time you know if you're registered citizen and. wheezy and i mean yes i mean we've seen residents pretty much status quo all across the u.s. you have to have a resident of that state to be in by now a long gun which is
8:34 am
a rifle or shotgun like you think you have a here your fine you can you can buy those out of state. not not a real big issue but still have to have you know valid driver's license or and their id and be able to pass a background check which we call that into the f.b.i. needs. since the founding of our country i mean guns have been necessary crony purposes for gathering our food is this kind of passed down from generation to generation that's this kind of part of what we do here is is a hunting culture. i think for kids growing up in this environment is good for them at an early age to least see the gun and respect it because they need to know what kind of damage it can do and so in a haunting environment like that we're in from a very young age i was told go in safety and so the only way to teach gun safety is to be around the gun.
8:35 am
i show you that this that the whenever you get dunaj rob telling me mom who's been in show twenty the claim it's got a rose q first do with glasses usually i shoot picture says they're going to kill off our snoopy don't care martyrs do with all six of us picture will sing shuttle is the reason that the young great you and. you know this is not this my wife this is my oldest daughter calories and this is my youngest r.k. obviously that was several years ago that categorizes want to just kill her first new year. as i started my own they think it's your own they enjoy it when big sister kills one in a little situation she did it i doubt it how many other two years out here get her to kill one.
8:36 am
right that's right in fact. yes. and the era of back care people don't. get it. i've never owned a gun in my life. we also have small children in the house at deaths not something that i think either my wife nor i feel comfortable with and having a gun in a house in the same house that they're small children in case they were to able in case they were able to get ahold of the gun. you know something accidental could happen. how do i feel about living in a place where there are a lot of guns around. it doesn't bother me in the least i probably was less aware
8:37 am
of. how many people own guns in this area i mean i knew there was a lot of hunters in in gun owners but probably in the wake of the connecticut tragedy so what i really became aware that there are probably people all over this this town that have guns. i don't feel any less safe because there were guns all over this community in fact i probably feel more safe because i'm sure if bad guys come they probably know there's a lot of people who are gun owners in the area. they don't necessarily know that i don't have a gun and they may make the assumption that i i do own a gun or i own a rifle that might make them hesitate about coming through here or trying to do something bad. to my family. like if you had an opportunity to shoot this gun you know. ok. now would you like to feel like you
8:38 am
know i have my browning a five year yeah. i like. how long did you have that. comma ok and you used mainly for skeet or do you use it for duck conning or well so all you can shoot through it. ok. so you put three shells in their own in the war oh you only need one up. already and go into the i don't say feel. good. shot. nice.
8:39 am
this is what we call skeet shooting some people call it trip shooting basically what it is is that mechanism that mr reckless the seated own right there will swing the skeet into the air the skeet as you can see is one of these little farin. that fly. they're painted or in show presumably so that you can see a better in the air they crumble like that of course if there is a shotgun shell they'll shatter as you've seen some of them do. it any rate it's trying to get better at shooting birds whether it be done. turkeys. it's one of their you can bet money you know we have a theory about a game bunker bunker. so it will for instance a shooting a mrs. loose balls and retire and if the next target is a mouse pointer to whalen plus points for lewis and i can bet money to.
8:40 am
go and it's still is an adamant object and doesn't have morals that have character it doesn't make decisions. and can be used for evil world use good. bad people get ahold gone's they use them for evil and good people with guns stop those that. is the way. this is not a soul shall make a difference a. gun ban all you know. if all that does is take away from. people like us who want to go out for the sport of. the bible got a lot of water to get the right here. this is what life mississippi river coming up one of our neighbors might. behind here which is what we call the beef ban it was named after my dad busy put it on my handy. one of the.
8:41 am
deer stand there with but down here on this farm and we're very proud of it it's usually a sure shot for bill in the. small buckers i. know to make sure there's no loss. rattlesnakes. of the founding father we've already or maybe all we do is the second and then we'll break you ladies militia being necessary to the preservation of the free state the right to keep and bear arms shall not be free. now my fault is that when they wrote that when they put that in the constitution is the second amendment they were talking about recreational firearms for. they were talking about giving the
8:42 am
people of faith true means to resist fear and invasion and other things like. so from that standpoint would it be right to regulate assault rifles which. i don't think anyone here would debate the fact that that's a much more effective means of resisting tyranny rebutting an invasion then a two seventy or a twelve gauge shotgun. but i mean you know how many times this country's been subjugated by all of our. never. right. that's true.

8:45 am
in the thirties the japanese government was taken over by the radical militant japanese soldiers and they had many meetings about invading the united states and admiral yamamoto who was the admiral that put together the pearl harbor attack he was a brilliant man educated at harvard. you know our city he knew america and he said
8:46 am
you could never invade america americans have so many guns there would be an american behind every tree with a gun if there is even one thing we can do to reduce this violence. and there is even a one life that can be saved how you stay in the role well regulated militia result what military grade firearms i asked the magazines has what purpose you know the guns are out there over ninety percent of all gun crimes are committed was stolen guns on americans have reportedly died at the end of the gun yes no i deal with gun owners in america i think it was right to know this unfortunately the got it and as sandy hook he did not have a background check when he shot his mother in the head for going to. their back door regulation and look at australia in great britain and at some point it will be lead to confiscation and disarming people. it's
8:47 am
a long drawn out process but it's only going in one direction the americans have never trusted the government. two hundred years ago the second amendment as i understand it was put forward as a kind of a check and balance to keep the government in check. and i don't know how many people distrust of the government two hundred years ago but i don't trust the government today and i think there's an awful lot of people feel that same way i hate to say that but. it's just reality one of the big arguments here you know is the only thing that gun control would do is disown honest people and keep going in the hands of criminals because a lot of you know people who are committing these crimes not to be able to connecticut are the main his forces robberies and homicides and or things like that have the guns illegally anyway so you're taking you know our people who comply with that law in the first place with you know people that respect. well people who are already honest people that should be worried about going the for them whether
8:48 am
they're illegal or not. people that. are going to get him just like any other kind of drug or anything like that somebody bad enough they're going to find a way to get it back you know when you're ready in that direction is there anything in between you or the wall about two weeks ago actually on this particular wall here i had a r.'s four rows dow four rows across and with everything going on in politics right now with the possible ban and everything everyone is flooding in and purchasing right away or someone they say as against fire are. going to great job for us. maybe there should be a third. space
8:49 am
8:50 am
in the. in some ways today everybody sort of are going to control as a result of this you know well i think as a christian we miss that we miss the narrative but the world have the story the narrative and it goes in the direction that someone else wants and we should we should keep this focus on one jesus i think we get we get sidetracked we want to argue about guns or will argue about you know religion is right things are getting a person should just start let's let's start the ball rolling in a new direction let's not wait for it to come from someone else and let's let's be loving let's be helpful and because we don't have enough of that in america we've created space for other things to fill the vacuum i think guns are necessary but i think the right people should have them and i guess that the. so that legislators are find out who can and cannot based on their health and also based on. the
8:51 am
knowledge. basically just based on the ability to have something like this i think it's necessary for protecting ourselves but not everyone should have the right to have it there was how realistic is the american public when it comes to the whole issue of gun control i think the public and is quite realistic will take a look at this while the public clearly favorite gun control and you see here they hit the five percent favor gun control forty four percent opposed so that's quite a hefty eleven point margin there when you ask the question of whether you believe that gun control is actually going to fare violence in this country looking to buy i don't want to one margin people also say that you know not alone is not going to fix a problem they understand that there are a lot of factors. go into this including how you deal with the people who would do
8:52 am
such a thing in the mental health system and they understand that the laws that were proposed today would not have rethought the adam lanza problem the new one from larger issue that has a lot of factors that need to be considered. so i think it's it's a well meaning thing to say well large capacity magazines are bad and we got to do away with those or so-called assault rifles no one's ever really defined an assault rifle to me to my satisfaction any rifle could be used as is as an assault rifle but the point is that ninety nine percent of the people use them
8:53 am
lawfully i shoot my so-called assault rifle i love to shoot and they're fun they're accurate they're great but i would never use them to harm anyone ok. all right. you know yes everybody got your muffs on. russian. clear. although i'm all in favor of adequate. gun control laws and in the united states there are twenty thousand gun control laws on the books as we speak twenty thousand different laws in all the different states. well if you're
8:54 am
a madman or you're like one of these shooters it aurora or this most recent massacre and murder at newtown connecticut if you are so mentally ill. that you probably want to commit suicide but they want to take out a lot of people and do it in a big grandiose way and get a lot of attention on c.n.n. and the world press and all that. if if you want to do that there's no laws. on the planet that will keep you from doing this i think that when we're talking about these mass shootings that have occurred i think it's less about the goods and more about restricting access. for people who are obviously mentally ill deaths are all the other issue how do we deal with our mentally ill population. over the last fifty or sixty years there's been
8:55 am
a big movement to the institutionalized a lot of people a lot of mental health costs of those have closed. i never knew adam lanza in person but i was in the same high school as adam he was younger than me just a little bit younger and you know i saw this kid walking around the halls he was i always thought he was different i always into something funny he rarely talked he wore big big clothes other people's and were very baggy clothes he was close to all he walks very very quickly he didn't really talk as the for pension and you know he was a shy kid. he was just a shah a shy kid and that's all i ever thought i don't know of anyone who is friends with him i also don't know of anyone who's particularly mean to him but what i do know is that it was very clear that this person was not like everybody else and no one really did anything to reach out to him if we took time to recognize this person's mental health then maybe this we could have stopped it rather than having to. keep
8:56 am
guns away from people i think that if there if it was more difficult to get guns then maybe this would not have happened maybe it was more difficult to get guns and would not have been able to kill twenty six people however even if he couldn't get guns that wouldn't make him a different person he still would have had his problems he still would've had his troubles he still would have been different so while stopping guns might be helpful to the sort of thing it's not going to prevent these kinds of people in order to prevent these kinds of people we have to look my. steve. i can't imagine the level of mental illness that would be present to murder children and i'm fortunately it will happen again i don't think there's any question people emulate it they they see these violent movies and films and video cames and i think they emulate what they see and the lines get blurred between fantasy and reality.
