=== Ban Assault Weapons (04:13) ===

[00:00:00]  I'm Ja'Kari Jackson for the InfoWars Nightly News.
[00:00:12]  We're here at the Texas Capitol to ask people how they feel about gun control.
[00:00:16]  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.
[00:00:30]  An assault weapon is A weapon full automatic is allowed only the military and police.
[00:00:40]  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.
[00:00:47]  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.
[00:00:54]  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.
[00:01:01]  I have a four-year-old daughter.
[00:01:03]  Why should I have an assault rifle?
[00:01:05]  A gun show, a shooting range.
[00:01:06]  You never see mass shootings there.
[00:01:08]  There's all kinds of ammo and guns and people walking all around them.
[00:01:11]  Yeah, I don't support the assault weapon ban.
[00:01:14]  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.
[00:01:24]  Psychiatrist exam or something.
[00:01:26]  Now what about in China where a gentleman, I believe is around the same time, slashed 20 children with a knife?
[00:01:31]  What do you say to people who may bring that up?
[00:01:33]  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.
[00:01:46]  What do you say to people who say, well, maybe the Sandy Hook guy had a gun, but this guy had a knife?
[00:01:51]  A person with a knife is a lot easier to subdue.
[00:01:53]  What do you think about gun-free zones at schools?
[00:01:57]  Free massacre zone!
[00:02:00]  You know, say the principal had a gun in her office.
[00:02:02]  Would she have had time to even pull it out, take off the safety and use it?
[00:02:07]  And to that extent, so I don't think that's a good argument.
[00:02:09]  How long did they have to wait until someone got there to stop this guy?
[00:02:12]  Because no one in this quote unquote safe school zone or no gun zone was there to defend the children.
[00:02:19]  Obama's kids, they go to a school with 11 guards.
[00:02:24]  Now besides assault weapons, are you for any other type of legislation such as banning high-capacity magazines or certain types of
[00:02:31]  ammunition anything like that?
[00:02:33]  Yes, but I think the core of it is to get rid of the weapons.
[00:02:37]  People say they don't want you to have more than 10 rounds in your magazine.
[00:02:40]  You know it's just another incremental step.
[00:02:42]  I mean, okay, is it ten rounds today?
[00:02:44]  Is it five rounds next week?
[00:02:46]  One of the alternatives I really, really would push for would be raising the price on bullets.
[00:02:51]  Raising the price on bullets, raising the taxes on bullets.
[00:02:54]  Okay, you realize that a deer rifle or an AR-15 are basically the same thing, just one looks spookier than the other?
[00:02:59]  Well, it should be a weapon that shoots one bullet at a time.
[00:03:03]  The federal government recently just spent, you know, just purchased $1.6 billion.
[00:03:07]  I believe it was in the past calendar year.
[00:03:09]  Well, if it's the federal government purchasing it, then it's probably going to go to our law enforcement.
[00:03:13]  And I think that's something that our law enforcement people need.
[00:03:17]  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.
[00:03:24]  So, what do you say to that?
[00:03:28]  Well, I mean, we can have no comment on that.
[00:03:31]  Don't you want to defend yourself against tyranny?
[00:03:34]  Yes, sir, I do.
[00:03:34]  Somebody that wants you put down like this, wants to make you a slave, isn't that the freedom of the Second Amendment?
[00:03:41]  No, as far as the Second Amendment, it has the right to a well-regulated militia.
[00:03:45]  Do you think a well-regulated militia could use something like assault weapons?
[00:03:49]  And the Second Amendment is the right to bear arms.
[00:03:51]  And it also has for A well-regulated militia, that's also in there as well, miss.
[00:03:56]  Well, it's our military is our militia, not our common everyday citizens.

=== Why Seconds Count (00:26) ===

[00:04:01]  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?
[00:04:09]  Well, just once again, it's not about my need.
[00:04:12]  It's about my right.
[00:04:14]  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.
[00:04:22]  When seconds count, police are only minutes away.
