Guitarist At Vegas Shooting Changes Mind On Gun Control

YOU GUYS KNOW THE SHOOTING IN VEGAS HAPPENED DURING A
CONCERT.
IT WAS THE ROUTE 91 HARVEST FESTIVAL.
A LOT OF COUNTRY ACTS THERE.
ONE OF THE GROUPS THERE WAS THE JOSH ABBOTT BAND AND WITH THEIR
GUITARIST CALEB KEETER PUT OUT A REALLY INTERESTING STATEMENT
AFTER THE SHOOTING BECAUSE HE WAS THERE AND HE APOLOGIZED
FOR SAYING THE SECOND AMENDMENT SHOULD NOT BE CHECKED.
IT'S REALLY INTERESTING.
LISTEN TO HIS EXPERIENCE.
EVEN IF YOU DON'T AGREE WITH THEM, LISTEN TO WHAT HE
EXPERIENCED HAVE A SENSE OF IT.
HE SAID I'VE BEEN A PROPONENT OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT MY
ENTIRE LIFE AND SELL THE EVENTS OF LAST NIGHT I CANNOT
EXPECT HOW WRONG I WASN'T.
WE ACTUALLY HAD MEMBERS OF OUR CREW WITH CHL LICENSES AND
LEGAL FIREARMS ON THE BUS.
THEY WERE USELESS.
HE SAID TO HIS BANDMATES AND THE CREW COULDN'T ACCESS THEIR
FIREARMS DURING THE ATTACK BECAUSE POLICE COULD'VE
MISTAKEN THEM FOR THE ATTACKERS SO HE IS LIKE WE HAD THE
GUNS AND THEY ARE IN THE BUS BUT WE REALIZE, IF WE GO GET THEM,
NUMBER ONE, HOW ARE WE GOING TO SHOOT THE GUY IN THE 32ND FLOOR.
THANK GOD THEY REALIZED THE COPS MIGHT MISTAKE
THEM FOR THE SHOOTER BECAUSE IN A MOMENT OF PANIC LIKE
THAT, YOU ARE NOT THINKING STRAIGHT THAT IT IS
COMPLETE CHAOS, PEOPLE ARE TRAMPLING OVER ONE ANOTHER.
YOU KNOW THE SHOOTER IS OR WHAT IS GOING ON AND IN A MOMENT
OF PANIC, I THINK IT IS HUMAN INSTINCT AND HUMAN NATURE
TO REACH FOR YOUR WEAPON AND I'M GLAD THEY HAD A MOMENT WHERE
THEY STOPPED AND THEY THOUGHT ABOUT IT AND THEY DIDN'T DO SO.
THERE'S BEEN STUDY AFTER STUDY ABOUT WHETHER PEOPLE CAN
REACT QUICKLY ENOUGH IN A MASS SHOOTING SCENARIO TO
ACTUALLY GET THE SHOOTER.
ALMOST EVERY TIME THE PERSON DRAWING A GUN GETS KILLED.
IN THIS CASE, IT WOULD'VE BEEN DIFFERENT BECAUSE HE IS ON THE
32ND FLOOR, YOU CAN EVEN SEE HER GUN DOWN THERE.
HE IS KILLING INDISCRIMINATELY BUT STUDIES INDICATE
GENERALLY YOU DO NOT GET THE SHOOTER.
I KNOW YOU ALL WANT TO BE HEROES AND SAY I WOULD'VE HAD THE
GUN AND I WOULD'VE BEEN ABLE TO TARGET, BUT LIKELY, ARE YOU
REALLY GOING TO FIRE A GUN AT THE 32ND FLOOR?
YOU KNOW WHO'S UP THERE.
YOU COULD ACTUALLY SHOOT PEOPLE SO EASILY IN A SITUATION.
IS INSANE TO DO THAT AS SECOND WELL, GIVE A GUN ON THE
GROUND IN THE COPS ON THE GROUND AND THEY COME, AS HE FOUND
OUT HIMSELF PERSONALLY, COURSE THAT IS A TERRIBLE IDEA.
ONE MORE QUOTE FROM HIM.
HE SAID WE NEED GUN-CONTROL RIGHT NOW.
MY BIGGEST REGRET IS THAT I STUBBORNLY DIDN'T REALIZE
IT UNTIL MY BROTHERS ON THE ROAD AND MYSELF WERE THREATENED
BY IT.
I DON'T WANT TO, IT'S A WONDERFUL THING THAT HE HAD AN
OPEN ENOUGH MIND FOR HIM TO RECOGNIZE, I WAS WRONG ABOUT
THAT AND WHEN I LIVED IN I REALIZED THE GUN WASN'T
GOING TO HELP ME, THE GUN WAS WHAT WAS KILLING US.
ON THE OTHER HAND, IT JUST DRIVES ME CRAZY WHEN
CONSERVATIVES NEED SOMETHING TO HAPPEN TO THEM DIRECTLY
BEFORE THEY CAN EMPATHIZE WITH OTHERS.
I HEAR YOU.
THAT IS FRUSTRATING.
HOWEVER, EVEN IN SITUATIONS, LIKE STEVE SCALISE, THE
CONGRESSMAN WHO WAS SHOT DURING A BASEBALL GAME, HE HASN'T
CHANGED HIS MIND WHEN IT COMES TO GUNS.
IT LITERALLY HAPPENED TO HIM.
HE WAS MOMENTS AWAY FROM DYING HIMSELF BECAUSE OF GUN VIOLENCE.
HE HASN'T CHANGED HIS MIND AT ALL IN THE SECOND AMENDMENT SO
WHAT, I GAVE HIM SO MUCH CREDIT IN THIS CASE, THIS MUSICIAN
TO AT LEAST ADMIT THAT HE WAS WRONG BECAUSE THE REALITY
IS PEOPLE DON'T LIKE ADMITTING THAT THEY ARE WRONG EVEN
WHEN THEY HAVE BEEN PROVEN WRONG AND IT TAKES COURAGE.
I'M HAPPY.
NO CRITICISM.
I HEAR YOU.
CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.
EVEN IF IT TOOK HIS LIFE BEING THREATENED AND HIS FRIENDS AND
THE PEOPLE HE CARES ABOUT, IT'S OKAY.
IT ISN'T ABOUT THAT, WHO'S RIGHT, WHOíS WRONG.
IT'S ABOUT THINK ABOUT WHAT HE LIVED, WHAT HIS EXPERIENCE WAS
THAT LED THEM TO THAT CONCLUSION WHICH IS IN THESE TYPES OF
SHOOTING SCENARIOS, IT'S A MOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DRAW YOUR WEAPON
SO THE IDEOLOGY WAS ALWAYS, I NEED THE SECOND AMENDMENT TO
PROTECT MYSELF AND IN A MASS SHOOTING, IT JUST DOESN'T
WORK THAT WAY.
INSTEAD, THE WEAPON IS USED BY THE MADMAN MOWED YOU ALL DOWN.
THE WEAPON IN THAT CASE IS NOT YOUR ALLY.
ITíS NOT YOUR FRIEND.
ITíS THE THING THAT IS KILLING YOU.
SO PLEASE DON'T LET IT HAPPEN TO YOU OR YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS
BEFORE YOU CAN SEE THAT LOGIC AS WELL.
EVEN IF YOU BELIEVE THE SECOND AMENDMENT IS WONDERFUL AND
IDLE THINK CALEB HAS NECESSARILY CHANGED HIS MIND OVERALL
ABOUT WHETHER IT SHOULD EXIST OR NOT THAT HE DIDN'T MENTION
ANYTHING ALONG THOSE LINES I GUESS, YOU CAN HAVE
REASONABLE CHECKS ON RIGHTS GUARANTEED IN THE CONSTITUTION.
YOU CAN'T YELL FIRE IN A CROWDED THEATER, YOU ALSO DON'T HAVE
THE RIGHT TO BRING IN A MACHINE GUN TO A CROWDED THEATER.
LISTEN TO WHAT THIS GUY IS SAYING.
HE LIVED IT.
THE REALITY IS WE SHOULD HAVE REASONABLE CHECKS,
OTHERWISE MASS SHOOTINGS LIKE THIS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN
OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
