1. Interesting segment. We need to hear more from

responsible gun owners and how they would legislate change that would help curb gun violence. I certainly agree that gun intimidation needs to end.

2. Believe it or not, I used to shoot competitively

I learned how to shoot at summer camp and was on the team there (all girls) and when I went to high school, my mother talked to the coach of the team there at a PTA meeting, asked him if they had any girls on their team and he said that they didn't, but there was no reason why they couldn't, so I joined the team there (rifle team). I was their "pressure shooter," they'd put me in near the end to make up points.

When we learned to shoot, we had very strict rules which we had to know and understand before we ever picked up a gun. And we took it quite seriously, we didn't have "accidents." But I wouldn't have a gun now for anything. I don't need one. No one does unless they're fighting in war.
