Reid: "Protect your home and your family, to hunt, to target practice..you do not need an assault weapon to defend yourself or..property."
Reid: "We do not need to arm ourself against the army or the police. The United States is not out to get us." Wow. This will get blowback.
Reid talks about living in "the real world, not the conspiratorial world." I think his NRA grade is going down.
Reid talks about "keeping weapons of war off the streets." He is making a passionate (for him) defense of weapons ban.
Reid: "That's why I will vote 4 Dianne Feinstein's assault weapons ban." Derides those who "believe in conspiracy theories and false flags."
Reid also a YES on banning large magazines.
Reid says "when went bird-hunting you gave birds a sporting chance....don't people deserve as much protection as birds?" Um....
Reid: "I believe if we can save the life of a single American, we owe it to ourselves to try."
Reid talks of courage. "Today I choose to vote my conscience...." What about other days? #tooeasy
Reid appears emotional at end of speech. Very unusual for him, as was intensity and language of that speech on guns.
