You know, people hear of this right to carry, you should focus on it. If this right to carry, this keeps me up at night. If this right to carry goes through the Supreme Court and becomes the law of the land, can you imagine being on a 4 train with someone having a 9 millimeter exposed? Everyone on the train is carrying. This is not the wild, wild West. And this law is. You know, it's frightening to think that we are even thinking about that and what they did in Atlanta and what they're doing. (14:58–15:09)
