I have no audio on this PC, can you summarize what he says in those 6 minutes?

He starts by saying he did say to his wife that he would give that gun away if it could have saved 1 child. And that it was obviously just empty words. (cause he said it 5 years ago)
And the "why punish legal gun owners" doesn't work as an argument, because before the school shootings the person who did it WAS a legal gun owner.
Legal gun owners are capable of snapping and start killing people.

And then he goes on to talk about what he should do with his gun. He got told that he should sell it or give it to law-enforcement or something.
But where that gun could end up, and it might end up ending a life, was not worth it for him.. so he just sawed it in half instead. making sure that his gun would never kill anyone.

he ends with that there are so many guns out there, but now there is at least one less.

 

why i posted it was that it was the first time i saw someone actually doing something, instead of just talking about it and making excuses.

Is it wise to begin stripping rights from people based on what they're simply capable of doing with said rights?
And what did he actually do, besides make a completely symbolic gesture? Unless he was planning to go on a shooting spree or illegally give his gun to somebody, he didn't actually change anything.
