RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
>> The reaction was just what I thought it was going to be. I think the reason why I did that was because I wanted to show other young people that you don’t have to cower to belize. We can do them work, get educated, don’t listen to the haters.
>> There are things about your back on that surprise me when I learned about it. Including the fact that you join to shooting club, is this correct?
>> I did.
>> And college?
>> I did.
>> Why did you do that? Does that surprise people, like me, when they learned it?
>> I think this is really my first time talking and a formal context about why did that. It was after one of the many shootings that had happened this year that I was thinking to myself, I just could not sleep that night. I was thinking, what is the last, what have not done? We’ve talked to counter protesters, we’ve talked to people who support, us we’ve rally support, with turned up voters. I think what I realized is the only thing I haven’t done as I have been going directly to a lot of the people who do this. Meet them where they’re at. Surely that’s not for everyone. In the gun violence protection movement, by any means. I grew up around guns. My dad was an FBI agent. My first time shooting guns was why was in fourth grade. What better way to demonstrate that I understand what I’m talking about then to learn more about gun safety, talk to gone owners who don’t agree with me, and many of them who do agree with me, right? They’re on gun owners who do you support the things we talk about here.
