Time Text
I'm Ja'Kari Jackson for the InfoWars Nightly News.
We're here at the Texas Capitol to ask people how they feel about gun control.
I'm here to not only talk about voting no on some of the legislation that is loosening up registration and re-registration of gun owners, but more importantly to ban assault weapons.
An assault weapon is A weapon full automatic is allowed only the military and police.
It's only for the military and police and for a special trust where you can get where you can buy a class-free weapon.
I don't think that taking away a person's right to bear arms is the answer but I do believe that there should be restrictions.
I have a clean record so technically I could go to a gun show and purchase as many guns as I want to Have them in my house.
I have a four-year-old daughter.
Why should I have an assault rifle?
A gun show, a shooting range.
You never see mass shootings there.
There's all kinds of ammo and guns and people walking all around them.
Yeah, I don't support the assault weapon ban.
What I do believe is a good alternative would be like my colleague here mentioned is a Stronger restrictions when it comes to evaluating the people's mental health.
Psychiatrist exam or something.
Now what about in China where a gentleman, I believe is around the same time, slashed 20 children with a knife?
What do you say to people who may bring that up?
Well, I can tell you that I'm a citizen of America and in America we're a civilized people and as civilized people we need to set our own rules in place to govern our country.
What do you say to people who say, well, maybe the Sandy Hook guy had a gun, but this guy had a knife?
A person with a knife is a lot easier to subdue.
What do you think about gun-free zones at schools?
Free massacre zone!
You know, say the principal had a gun in her office.
Would she have had time to even pull it out, take off the safety and use it?
And to that extent, so I don't think that's a good argument.
How long did they have to wait until someone got there to stop this guy?
Because no one in this quote unquote safe school zone or no gun zone was there to defend the children.
Obama's kids, they go to a school with 11 guards.
Now besides assault weapons, are you for any other type of legislation such as banning high-capacity magazines or certain types of
ammunition anything like that?
Yes, but I think the core of it is to get rid of the weapons.
People say they don't want you to have more than 10 rounds in your magazine.
You know it's just another incremental step.
I mean, okay, is it ten rounds today?
Is it five rounds next week?
One of the alternatives I really, really would push for would be raising the price on bullets.
Raising the price on bullets, raising the taxes on bullets.
Okay, you realize that a deer rifle or an AR-15 are basically the same thing, just one looks spookier than the other?
Well, it should be a weapon that shoots one bullet at a time.
The federal government recently just spent, you know, just purchased $1.6 billion.
I believe it was in the past calendar year.
Well, if it's the federal government purchasing it, then it's probably going to go to our law enforcement.
And I think that's something that our law enforcement people need.
Not too long ago, the Empire State Building, where the police opened fire on one guy and hit eight or nine other people who were not their intended target.
So, what do you say to that?
Well, I mean, we can have no comment on that.
Don't you want to defend yourself against tyranny?
Yes, sir, I do.
Somebody that wants you put down like this, wants to make you a slave, isn't that the freedom of the Second Amendment?
No, as far as the Second Amendment, it has the right to a well-regulated militia.
Do you think a well-regulated militia could use something like assault weapons?
And the Second Amendment is the right to bear arms.
And it also has for A well-regulated militia, that's also in there as well, miss.
Well, it's our military is our militia, not our common everyday citizens.
Now, sir, there are people out there that say, why do you need a semi-automatic rifle such as the one allegedly used in the Sandy Hook shooting?
Well, just once again, it's not about my need.
It's about my right.
Miss, if I can ask you a question, talking about the blood of children on our hands, the Obama administration, and it went back to Bush as well, I'm not going to comment on that.
When seconds count, police are only minutes away.
