00:00You guys are worried about banning books dead kids can't read.
00:03338,000 kids have experienced gun violence in this country.
00:09The number one killer of school-aged children in this country, gun violence.
00:15What do you think those parents who have buried their kids
00:19think that we're holding a hearing to talk about DC public urination?
00:30We want to talk about crime and murder.
00:44Let's have a hearing on murder in schools.
00:47It's murder.
00:48Is there any question?
00:49I'll yield to anyone on this committee who disagrees that murder in schools is not murder.
00:56I yield.
00:57Will you yield?
00:58Oh, I'll yield.
00:58Yes, please.
00:59When I was in 11th grade and Joe Biden made our schools gun-free school zones,
01:04one of the students in my school brought three guns to school,
01:07and our entire school went on lockdown because he was the only person with a gun.
01:12There was no good guy with a gun to protect us kids at school.
01:29You want to know why the shooter is dead in Nashville?
01:36The trans shooter?
01:37You want to know why?
01:38Because a good guy with a gun killed that woman.
01:41She identified as a man.
01:43She was mentally ill, probably taking hormones,
01:46and she went in and murdered children and adults in this Christian school in Nashville.
01:52So if you want to have a good talk about schools and protecting children,
01:57we need to talk about protecting our children the same way we protect our president,
02:02we protect our celebrities, we protect this building.
02:07Okay, I'll yield.
02:08Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
02:10You know, there are six people that are dead in that school,
02:12including three children because you guys got rid of the assault weapons ban.
02:17Because you guys made it easy for people who don't deserve to have weapons,
02:22who are mentally incapable of having weapons of war,
02:26being able to buy those weapons and go into schools.
02:29I voted for SROs in my schools in Florida after Parkland.
02:34We have SROs on every school.
02:36Did the good guys with the guns stop six people from getting murdered?
02:40No.
02:41But you know what?
02:42AR-15s.
02:43You know what those bullets do to children?
02:46You know why you don't hunt with an AR-15 with a deer?
02:49Because there's nothing left.
02:50And there's nothing left of these kids when people go into school
02:55and murder them while they're trying to read.
02:58You guys are worried about banning books dead kids can't read.
