    >> I ve been told ░░░░░░░░ lord helps those who ░░░░░░░░ themselves And the last ░░░░░░░░ times we ve had ░░░░░░░░ shootings and I said ░░░░░░░░ and prayers thoughts and ░░░░░░░░ it s why do ░░░░░░░░ do thoughts and prayers ░░░░░░░░ should be doing Anything ░░░░░░░░ should be doing anything ░░░░░░░░ it takes to stop ░░░░░░░░ Is what you do ░░░░░░░░ then you get we ░░░░░░░░ t even have a ░░░░░░░░ Because people say oh ░░░░░░░░ are you anti religion ░░░░░░░░ god It s the ░░░░░░░░ argument That s not ░░░░░░░░ we re saying We ░░░░░░░░ saying before you get ░░░░░░░░ those thoughts and prayers ░░░░░░░░ you don t have ░░░░░░░░ pray for the people ░░░░░░░░ sadly lost their loved ░░░░░░░░ or are suffering from ░░░░░░░░ or are injured or ░░░░░░░░ have you maybe you ░░░░░░░░ be doing something to ░░░░░░░░ it instead of just ░░░░░░░░ it s oh our ░░░░░░░░ and prayers Okay And ░░░░░░░░ s plenty to do ░░░░░░░░ you can t look ░░░░░░░░ from the weapon Who ░░░░░░░░ access to weapons and ░░░░░░░░ matters I m a ░░░░░░░░ owner It matters Most ░░░░░░░░ gun owners want better ░░░░░░░░ rules for weapons All ░░░░░░░░ It s not about ░░░░░░░░ You ve got mental ░░░░░░░░ You ve got the ░░░░░░░░ of violence in this ░░░░░░░░ This is part of ░░░░░░░░ unique aspect don The ░░░░░░░░ of you wanting to ░░░░░░░░ your own life is ░░░░░░░░ The idea that the ░░░░░░░░ to do it is ░░░░░░░░ take others along with ░░░░░░░░ is unique That s ░░░░░░░░ to us Why We ░░░░░░░░ t talk about it ░░░░░░░░ to guns and how ░░░░░░░░ get them Every check ░░░░░░░░ sale being checked We ░░░░░░░░ t even talk about ░░░░░░░░ in a real way ░░░░░░░░ s never part of ░░░░░░░░ dialogue It s all ░░░░░░░░ It s all in ░░░░░░░░ moment Nothing happens I ░░░░░░░░ t think it s ░░░░░░░░ much to ask for ░░░░░░░░ Second Amendment right and ░░░░░░░░ with it We have ░░░░░░░░ stop pretending that the ░░░░░░░░ Amendment is the amendment ░░░░░░░░ all that s sacrosanct ░░░░░░░░ people talking about the ░░░░░░░░ amendments and maybe it ░░░░░░░░ be we should amend ░░░░░░░░ because it has to ░░░░░░░░ with birthright citizenship and ░░░░░░░░ and on and on ░░░░░░░░ the Second Amendment is ░░░░░░░░ Okay I m just ░░░░░░░░ you the analysis here ░░░░░░░░ do you think that ░░░░░░░░ forefathers when they were ░░░░░░░░ the Second Amendment actually ░░░░░░░░ about the types of ░░░░░░░░ that might become available ░░░░░░░░ into the future when ░░░░░░░░ were thinking about muskets ░░░░░░░░ so on and so ░░░░░░░░ No It s never ░░░░░░░░ to put it on ░░░░░░░░ founding fathers They only ░░░░░░░░ what they knew But ░░░░░░░░ also didn t make ░░░░░░░░ it wound up being ░░░░░░░░ way in the delineation ░░░░░░░░ them But it wasn ░░░░░░░░ that in their original ░░░░░░░░ And look none of ░░░░░░░░ matters It s all ░░░░░░░░ to the conversation But ░░░░░░░░ end of the day ░░░░░░░░ all know there s ░░░░░░░░ one question Can you ░░░░░░░░ better than this Of ░░░░░░░░ But we don t ░░░░░░░░ that s where the ░░░░░░░░ s over for me ░░░░░░░░ you own that and ░░░░░░░░ act on it I ░░░░░░░░ t understand We are ░░░░░░░░ biggest best democracy in ░░░░░░░░ world Right We have ░░░░░░░░ things out and we ░░░░░░░░ things that no other ░░░░░░░░ can do Why do ░░░░░░░░ have why are we ░░░░░░░░ affected by gun violence ░░░░░░░░ than any other nation ░░░░░░░░ the world If you ░░░░░░░░ t see that then ░░░░░░░░ is an issue with ░░░░░░░░ And the folks who ░░░░░░░░ really believe that the ░░░░░░░░ Amendment as I say ░░░░░░░░ sacrosanct to them those ░░░░░░░░ the folks who should ░░░░░░░░ challenging people like the ░░░░░░░░ to do better when ░░░░░░░░ comes to what kind ░░░░░░░░ gun hawes we should ░░░░░░░░ What their stance is ░░░░░░░░ the Second Amendment and ░░░░░░░░ they conduct themselves in ░░░░░░░░ process when we re ░░░░░░░░ to deal with this ░░░░░░░░ saving lives That s ░░░░░░░░ We can all treat ░░░░░░░░ other I know that ░░░░░░░░ I ve got to ░░░░░░░░ about myself That s ░░░░░░░░ I can control But ░░░░░░░░ it doesn t begin ░░░░░░░░ end with the weapons ░░░░░░░░ can t ignore them ░░░░░░░░ part of the formula ░░░░░░░░ s too much money ░░░░░░░░ s too much political ░░░░░░░░ tied up in that ░░░░░░░░ in and of itself ░░░░░░░░ I said is an ░░░░░░░░ I m just saying ░░░░░░░░ the end of the ░░░░░░░░ there s such a ░░░░░░░░ a contradiction between the ░░░░░░░░ that people show in ░░░░░░░░ moments how much they ░░░░░░░░ the empathy It s ░░░░░░░░ empathy You don t ░░░░░░░░ a damn thing about ░░░░░░░░ Don t say that ░░░░░░░░ care about the people ░░░░░░░░ you see on TV ░░░░░░░░ you won t do ░░░░░░░░ to help those same ░░░░░░░░ And I know people ░░░░░░░░ t like that You ░░░░░░░░ not supposed to judge ░░░░░░░░ And I get it ░░░░░░░░ get it I m ░░░░░░░░ here to be popular ░░░░░░░░ know it s true ░░░░░░░░ ve stared into more ░░░░░░░░ these people s eyes ░░░░░░░░ most people at this ░░░░░░░░ And I ll tell ░░░░░░░░ it kills me because ░░░░░░░░ can t tell them ░░░░░░░░ they want to hear ░░░░░░░░ m so glad you ░░░░░░░░ that because I m ░░░░░░░░ people will take this ░░░░░░░░ of context and they ░░░░░░░░ take clips of what ░░░░░░░░ said don lemon and ░░░░░░░░ Cuomo want to get ░░░░░░░░ of the Second Amendment ░░░░░░░░ said that Bonnie and ░░░░░░░░ of fake news You ░░░░░░░░ a gun owner I ░░░░░░░░ owned guns And I ░░░░░░░░ a big proponent I ░░░░░░░░ from Louisiana Sportsman s ░░░░░░░░ Guns in the house ░░░░░░░░ aunt carried one in ░░░░░░░░ purse So did my ░░░░░░░░ Nobody said we should ░░░░░░░░ the guns away No ░░░░░░░░ if you re going ░░░░░░░░ carry a gun if ░░░░░░░░ re going to be ░░░░░░░░ the privilege or the ░░░░░░░░ in this society to ░░░░░░░░ a gun then you ░░░░░░░░ have sense with it ░░░░░░░░ should treat it responsibly ░░░░░░░░ that s all we ░░░░░░░░ saying That s all ░░░░░░░░ re saying And that ░░░░░░░░ one aspect You know ░░░░░░░░ s the Columbia protocol ░░░░░░░░ can Google it A ░░░░░░░░ of mine has done ░░░░░░░░ amazing things with this ░░░░░░░░ easy questions they train ░░░░░░░░ to ask those in ░░░░░░░░ midst under their charge ░░░░░░░░ they work with that ░░░░░░░░ know and you identify ░░░░░░░░ who are in need ░░░░░░░░ help that they aren ░░░░░░░░ processing things the right ░░░░░░░░ they need help Our ░░░░░░░░ doesn t deal with ░░░░░░░░ We stigmatize it You ░░░░░░░░ identify these people better ░░░░░░░░ can help them get ░░░░░░░░ better You can make ░░░░░░░░ get treatment better You ░░░░░░░░ process their access to ░░░░░░░░ instruments better You can ░░░░░░░░ so many things that ░░░░░░░░ don t do And ░░░░░░░░ s really just disgusting ░░░░░░░░ really is I
