RUSH EXCERPT:

MCCONAUGHEY: “You know what the difference is? And the argument would be, “Well, at 18 you can go into the military.” Well, you go into the military with an intent and purpose. And even going into the military, it’s like over a week of training before they’re putting a live round into that semiautomatic, all right?

That’s with intention and purpose. We’re talking about it here in a civil society, to be able to go purchase that kind of weapon, and then that afternoon do what you will with it? I think we could be more responsible than that, yes, sir, I do.”
