If there's... there's something
going on in another country,

1:22:03
they send people over
to fight it and...

1:22:05
- They are the most powerful
country in the world, though.

1:22:08
- Canada's more just, like,
"Let's negotiate,

1:22:10
let's work something out."
Where the States is,

1:22:12
"We'll kill you and that'll be
the end of that."

1:22:15
- Um, if guns were...
If more guns made people safer,

1:22:20
then America would be one of the
safest countries in the world.

1:22:23
It isn't. It's the opposite.

1:23:29

He said, "You have to leave."

1:23:32
- All right.
- And then when the meds come in,

1:23:34
when the police come in,
you're no longer in control.

1:23:37
They take over the building.
- Was she still alive then?

1:23:40
- Her lips had become

of Flint, Michigan,

1:23:46
a six-year-old first-grade boy,
at Buell Elementary,

1:23:50
had found a gun

1:23:53
where he was staying because
his mother was being evicted.
