:37:01
Something is wrong
in this country...

:37:05
when a child...
:37:08
can grab a gun...
grab a gun so easily...

:37:12
and shoot a bullet...
:37:18
into the middle of a child's
face, as my son experienced.

:37:25
Something is wrong.
:37:26
But the time has come
to come to understand

:37:31
that a Tech-9 semi-automatic
30-bullet weapon

:37:36
like that that killed my son,
:37:38
is not used to kill deer.
:37:41
It has no useful purpose.
:37:44
It is time to address
this problem.

:37:51
- We have work to do,
hearts to heal,

:37:54
evil to defeat
and a country to unite.

:37:57
We may have differences, yes,
:37:59
and we will again suffer tragedy
almost beyond description.

:38:03
But when the sun sets
on Denver tonight,

:38:06
and forever more, let it
always set on we the people,

:38:11
secure in our land of the free
and home of the brave.

:38:16
I, for one, plan to do my part.
:38:19
Thank you.
:38:21
[ cheering and clapping ]
:38:24
- Or like when they had
their convention in Colorado,

:38:29
a week, whatever,
the month after Columbine,

:38:30
that was just stupid.
Just don't do that.

:38:31
Of course you have "the right
to," but what are you doing?

:38:34
Upsetting a whole city full of
people, why would you do that?

:38:37
- This is Matt Stone.
He grew up in Littleton

:38:40
and has fond memories
of Columbine.

:38:43
- Yeah, Columbine,
it's just a crappy school

:38:45
in the middle of a bunch
of crappy houses.

:38:47
- Matt and his friend
Trey Parker

:38:49
found a way to take out
:38:51
their anger of being different
in Littleton

:38:54
and turn it not into carnage,
but into a cartoon.
