8:29 pm
my stand on guns in america is i'm i'm pro life confront. i don't think i'm political stand but i do say and i think that we should increase the love and sense when 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 what i personally believe is it's 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 and diminish kinds of events. and this is our first task as a society keeping our children safe this is how we will be judged
8:30 pm
and then gramps. 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 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. yet you get too touchy oh jean she did forty five long stand with five or you could
8:31 pm
have fourteen shots you know and you can to now have first for each man have a little fun if you. want but they can have you know safest dark house you know corridors and stuff like that wide areas roll they know they're the only ones in the house somebody is not supposed to be here you know they've got again it's not just for anything these are shot and not have as much recall but without enough spread that you think of her child and nobody wants to be under siege. 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 is it 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
8:32 pm
you're registered citizen and. wheezy and you. 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 a rifle or shotgun like you think you have a here you're 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. sets of the founding of our country i mean guns have been necessary for accounting 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 that we see the gun and respect it because they need to know what kind of damage it can do and so in
8:33 pm
a haunting environment like that we are at all from a very young age i was taught gun safety and so the only way to teach gun safety is to be around the gun. i'll show you that it's that the whenever you get down and rob to leave the mom who's been intro twenty of the claim has got a rose q first do with last issue here my shoot pictures says they're going to kill off he don't care martyrs do with all six of us picture ever will sing to us what is the reason that the young great go 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
8:34 pm
enjoy it and one big sister killed one in the little situation she did i doubt it how many other two years i have to hear get her to keel want. right that's right in my extent yes. era. 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 the house in the same house that their small children in case they were to able in case they were able to get ahold of the gun. you know something accidental
8:35 pm
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 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 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 are 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 this 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
8:36 pm
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 yeah. ok. now would you like to feel like you know i have my browning a five year yeah. i want you how long did you have that gun on my phone or ok and you used it mainly for skeet or do you use it for duck conning. 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 their own safety.
8:37 pm
good. shot. nice. this is what we call skeet shooting some people call it trip shooting basically what it is is that mechanism that this direct with 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 and they're painted orian show presumably so that you can see if that are in the air they crumble like that of course if there is a shotgun shell built shatter as you've seen some of them do. it any rate it's trying to get better at shooting birds whether it be dog. turkeys. geese it's funny yeah you can bet money you know we have a theory about
8:38 pm
a game ball bumper. so it will for instance a shooting with a mrs. lewis falls on the car and the next target is a mouse pointer to whalen plus points for lewis and we can bet money to. go and it still is an adamant object and doesn't have morals that have character it doesn't make decisions. and can be used for evil the world can be used good. bad people get ahold dawns they use them for evil and good people with guns stop those that. use the way animals this is not a soul shall make a difference say. when a man all. that's all it does is take away from. people like us who want to go out for the support of. the bible got
8:39 pm
a lot of water to give 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. deer stand that was put up down here on this farm and we're very proud of it it's usually a sure shot for bill in the. small box so. you know to make sure there's no loss. rattlesnakes. the founding father we've already made all we do is the second and then we'll break you later should be unnecessary to the preservation of the free state the right to keep and bear arms shall not be afraid. now my fault is that when they
8:40 pm
wrote that when they put that in the constitution is the second amendment they were talking about recreational firearms. they were talking about giving people a fake true means to resist fear and invasion and other things like. so from that standpoint would it be right to regulate assault rifles which were. 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 don't think you know how many times this country has been subjugated by all and. never.
8:41 pm
right. that's true. we are facing a lot of problems. because no one thought to drink no good school. no i know permits when you feel part. of the local what's not going up is a law in the local needs you might want to community l.n.g. molten would be used. you've just done for a match up artist i was fired about i must fight so. i'll fight. the fight right.
8:42 pm
8:43 pm
8:44 pm
in the thirty's the japanese government was taken over by the radical militant japanese soldiers and they had many meetings about invading the united states and add more yeah moto 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 you could never invade america americans have so many guns there would be an american behind every tree with
8:45 pm
a gun if there is even one thing we can do to reduce this violence. if there's even one life that can be saved how you stay in the role well regulated militia ridout what military grade firearms yesterday magazines has what purpose you know the guns are out there over ninety percent of all gun crimes are committed was stolen guns all americans have reportedly died at the end of a gun yes no i deal with gun owners in america i think it was very. unfortunately the got it and as sandy hook he did not have a background check when he shot his mother and i had to get. their back door regulation and look at australia and great britain and at some point it will be lead to confiscation and disarming people because it's 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
8:46 pm
a check and balance to keep the government in check. 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 you hear 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 connecticut i mean 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 lawless are faced with you know people that respect. well people who are already honest people that it should be worried about goes into for them whether they're illegal or not. people. are going to get it just like any other kind of drug
8:47 pm
or anything like that somebody also 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 down four rows across and with everything going on in politics right now with the possible bad and everything everyone is flooding in and purchasing right away or someone they saved against fire are. going to great job for us i don't know. maybe there should be a third term. it's
8:48 pm
8:49 pm
saw that our gun control is a result of this and the 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 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 with 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 be. to the legislators to find out who can and cannot based on their health and also based on. knowledge the . basically just based on the ability to have something like this i think it's
8:50 pm
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 favors gun control and you see that year they hear 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 hear violence in this country looking to buy i don't want to one margin people also say exactly no not this 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 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 that he didn't follow larger
8:51 pm
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 a as an assault rifle but the point is that ninety nine percent of the people use them 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
8:52 pm
ok. all right. well you know yes everybody got your muffs on your head. 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 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.
8:53 pm
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 that's our whole nother issue how do we deal with our mentally ill population. over the last fifty or sixty years there's been a big movement to be institutionalized a lot of people a lot of mental health hospital closed. i never knew adam lanza in
8:54 pm
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 walked very very quickly he didn't really talk as the pension and you know he was a shy kid. he was just a shy 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 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
8:55 pm
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 read this sort of thing it's not going to prevent these kinds of people in order to read 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'll 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. yeah.
