i've lost wattle uncles to gun violence and at 16, i lost my best friend to gun violence.y family and i, like far too many others know what a destructive force an unsecured firearm in the wrong hands can be. we know that it takes a split second to make an irreversible decision that will last a lifetime. we know there is no going back. it is like efforts like this, this buyback, that matter. each individual firearm taken off the streets is a life saved. is a family kept intact and a community kept whole. c.u.p. quote that so eloquently states it takes the hood to save the hood is accurate. that is exactly why this matters i really want to commend the united players, rudy, the entire team and everyone who comes out to make this possible and i really hope to see everyone on saturday. thank you. [applause] >> we have a couple of more speakers we want to bring up here. where is' v.i.p.? we want to make sure we acknowledge you guys are doing the work you do. where is my brother at? that man right there did 45 years in prison, and he is out back helping and senseless gun violence
