A group of people who have been Jackson can only I Soros to the constitution.

In that constitution his the Second Amendment.
That's what this country is based upon.
Popular rightfully in my own mind in my heart.
Committed take guns away from people when that is their protection.
In an area are smaller rural county were -- rural area sometimes it takes 3040 minutes to respond to the remote part of our county protector people.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- And be able to take care of themselves into in my mind in my heart take the goes away from.
Is there any margin our area which she would serve our men and they're doing anything with the existing gun law in this -- or anything differently that you would -- If you -- all the power.
Well it's just like if you take out part this kinda like the Bible.
You do you believe it or you don't believe in the constitution either you believe it or you don't either live by it for yourself.
I think people have tried to compromise it tried to.
Tweak it -- -- to whatever best suits them financially or for whatever the reason.
Excuse -- reasons.
But.
It's still it's still the constitution is still what we are founded on.
What you're theory or why do you think that we've had the certain of these incidents like movie theater and Aurora Colorado.
The shooting and Newtown Connecticut.
The brutal shootings and these in like individual shootings in Chicago people been highlight what's been going on Chicago especially and lot of the young people in Chicago.

Well there's there's a lot of different causes you can if you could look at each of the the people that are doing it you go back to that.
The other talk in the movies the games desensitize and the children to Wear their.
It actually grown up with a -- a lot of them do it don't you realize -- doing what they're doing they've been doing it every day on a game.
Which I had a chance to talk to -- a journalist.
And this journalist that we FC EO interviewed me I -- opportunity to talk and interview him.

If the people in the theater for service somebody in there are several people -- firearm only people who got shot.
In the still how many people -- got shot.
Happened so if you were president hit all the authority could.
Well how what would you do to sort of put the lid on some of these incidents apps that they didn't have a what what's your solution.
Well I think it's still goes back to you and I know the Second Amendment the way it was designed you know was due to protect the people.
Protect the people from.
Also from the government.
And but you know in protection racists like if I'm from a bad guy -- -- kick a door but I know they guy behind that door has a gun.
And I go to the southern Norway no guy doesn't have a gun in a storm -- -- You're still gonna have instances you're still to have violence here not to build curb that but the innocent people are -- -- protect themselves.
