If you hit a Talib with your shoe, then there would be no difference between you and the Talib. You must not treat others with cruelty and that much harshly, you must fight others but through peace and through dialogue and through education.

I never liked guns, I hate them, I always blink before they go off.

I hate guns.

If I am shot at, I want no man to be in the way of the bullet.

I have to be honest - I don't love guns.

In 2012, I received a phone call from the family of Arsala Rahmani, the Afghan senator with whom I'd become friendly. That morning, a gunman had pulled up alongside Rahmani's vehicle, idling in a crowded intersection, and shot him point blank.

I am an avid hunter and marksman, and I will not hesitate to shoot anyone who has myself or family in fear for our lives.

It was comical because you're at a firing range, all these people are so seriously shooting their little guns.

If people are shooting at you, it's human nature to be afraid. I was afraid. I'll be quite blunt about that.
