To be honest, not trying to make any "end all" statements. I saw the video, thought it would make for a potentially interesting discussion. I was really impressed with how composed she was, and how eloquently she spoke about something so emotional.
I do think her final sentence is the point of this whole argument.

Honestly Seth, when I first watched it I thought it was rigged..the way they had her lit. All that was missing was a halo photoshopped over her head.

If you put a gun to my head, pun intented, I would think there is a middle ground on responsible gun ownership. But with the NRA and many individuals fighting every seemingly sensible piece of gun legislation as "chipping away at the 2nd ammendment", I feel that the only way to combat them is to take an equally polarizing viewpoint in the other direction. I'm not opposed to hunting, skeet shooting, etc. But I really don't think concealed carry laws are in my best interests as a citizen and can't understand why semi automatic weapons are necessary outside of the military or police.

There..for what it's worth..
