From the transcript
And then my— the final clinch for me was when the gentleman talked about being shot. For God's sake, if at least you've got a shooting range, everybody's shooting in the same direction. Here it could come from anywhere. So whereas I have always supported the folks that testified, I still do, but I think you're going to be safer, um, with something that's going to corral some of these yahoos and Give them a place to go and shoot, and then you can have more recourse when you're, when you're going after them. Uh, you might even know who they are when there's, when there's some sort of regulation.
