:19:01
- Jeez!
- I'm not gonna get hurt!

:19:03
- This is loaded.
- It's loaded, it's safe.

:19:06
You've got to pull the trigger,
pull the hammer and shoot it.

:19:09
- Mm, put the hammer back.
- No one has a right to tell me

:19:12
that I can't have it.
That is protected

:19:15
in our constitution.
- Where's it say a handgun

:19:17
is protected?
- No, gun. We should...

:19:19
Every citizen--
- It doesn't say "gun"!

:19:21
It says "arms."
- Arms. What is arms?

:19:23
- Could be a nuclear weapon.
- It's not these-- That's right,

:19:25
it could be a nuclear weapon!
- You think you should have

:19:27
the right to have weapons-grade
plutonium here on the farm?

:19:30
- We should be able
to have anything--

:19:31
- Should you have
weapons-grade plutonium?

:19:33
- I don't want it.
- But should you have the right

:19:35
to have it if you did want it?
- That should be restricted.

:19:38
- Ah! Ah, so you do believe
in some restrictions.

:19:40
- Well, there's wackos out there.

[ TV news ]: The town of Virgin,

:19:51
Utah, has passed a law requiring
all residents to own guns.

:20:12
- Cary McWilliams
proudly displays the target

:20:14
he used to pass
his shooting test.

:20:17
But the thing is,
he can't see it.

:20:19
He's blind.
:20:22
Cary has had a love affair
with guns

:20:24
since he first got his hands
on an M-16 as a teenager.

:20:27
- I'm actually most comfortable
with assault rifles.

:20:31
- Woo-hoo!
:20:51
- This is a great place
to raise your children.

:20:53
A really great place
to raise your kids.

:20:55
Very close-knit community
we have here.

:20:59
Everybody looks out
for everybody.
