00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.958
Not sure how many gunmen,
not sure how many people have been shot,

00:00:04.333 --> 00:00:06.333
don't know how many people have been killed,

00:00:06.333 --> 00:00:08.625
the condition of those who have survived,

00:00:08.625 --> 00:00:12.958
don't know what the motivation is,
do not yet know the firearms that were used,

00:00:12.958 --> 00:00:14.541
or how they acquired them,

00:00:14.541 --> 00:00:16.708
but we do know this is fucked up.

00:00:19.291 --> 00:00:22.541
We do know that this has to stop in this country.

00:00:26.247 --> 00:00:32.791
There is no reason that we have to accept this as our fortune,
as our future, as our fate.

00:00:32.791 --> 00:00:36.166
and yet functionally right now we have.

00:00:36.833 --> 00:00:40.791
To have a congress that will not even study gun violence.

00:00:40.791 --> 00:00:44.125
By law has prevented the Centers for Disease control

00:00:44.125 --> 00:00:49.625
from knowing the facts less we be motivated and compelled
to do something about them.

00:00:49.625 --> 00:00:55.375
Will not even pass universal background checks
or close those loopholes that allow people

00:00:55.375 --> 00:00:58.375
to buy a firearm when they should not be able to.

00:00:58.375 --> 00:01:05.166
Dan famously going into a gun show
buying an AR-18 without a background check

00:01:05.706 --> 00:01:08.791
We went to a gun show last week in Conway, Arkansas.

00:01:10.130 --> 00:01:14.791
I didn't know that it was the best idea in the world
after we had just released a proposal

00:01:14.791 --> 00:01:19.708
that would mandate a buyback
of every AR-15 and AK-47 in this country.

00:01:21.621 --> 00:01:27.166
But we showed up because we wanted to bring
everyone into the conversation. 

00:01:27.166 --> 00:01:31.375
The first guy who comes up to me and I say,
Look, I've got to be honest with you

00:01:31.375 --> 00:01:37.208
I'm here because 40,000 of our fellow Americans
are going to lose their lives this year to gun violence

00:01:37.496 --> 00:01:39.041
unless we do something different.

00:01:39.147 --> 00:01:44.458
And I may assume, presume that you and I 
do not come to the same conclusion on this

00:01:44.458 --> 00:01:46.041
but tell me what your idea is.

00:01:46.298 --> 00:01:48.166
He said, No, I think you're onto something. 

00:01:48.166 --> 00:01:52.208
Though I sell guns at this show, 
I should not be able to do that.

00:01:52.610 --> 00:01:57.750
If you have a pulse and you're 18 years old
in Arkansas, you can buy this gun.

00:01:57.750 --> 00:01:59.958
Really, no other questions asked.

00:01:59.958 --> 00:02:02.458
He said, I should not be able to do this.

00:02:02.795 --> 00:02:05.333
Another guy who owns an AR-15 says,

00:02:05.333 --> 00:02:10.833
I don't know that I'm willing to give this up but I've got
3 kids in school just like you have 3 kids in school, Beto.

00:02:10.833 --> 00:02:14.041
And they're scared to go to school 
every day and I'm scared for them.

00:02:14.041 --> 00:02:15.958
Something's got to change. 

00:02:15.958 --> 00:02:18.375
Someone else says, I voted for Donald Trump.

00:02:18.375 --> 00:02:24.041
I have an assault weapon, but I'm willing to give it up because
this is not right.

00:02:31.118 --> 00:02:33.083
This is not an act of God,

00:02:33.390 --> 00:02:35.458
this is not some natural disaster,

00:02:35.765 --> 00:02:39.250
this is a human-caused problem with a human solution,

00:02:39.625 --> 00:02:44.125
and if you're willing, we can be the humans
who are gonna do something about this.
