He contrasts this with areas like Washington D.C. where gun bans allegedly led to high crime, and Kennesaw, Georgia, where mandatory gun ownership was linked to crime reduction. Pratt criticizes the idea of executive orders bypassing Congress on gun regulation, emphasizing the Bill of Rights over perceived needs.

Ronnie Barrett, founder of Barrett Firearms, discusses the political rhetoric surrounding gun violence in Mexico and its alleged connection to US firearms manufacturers.
