I'm from Texas, and one of the reasons I like Texas is because there's no one in control.

I grew up in Texas in a family that fished and hunted, so I've shot guns as a kid.

I'm liberal on every social aspect, probably. More liberal than people would even believe. But there's still some of that Texas in me, as far as the gun debate. I wish there were no guns; I'm all for gun restrictions. But I'm also of the mind-set, if nothing changes, I'm getting a gun.

It's not a gun control problem; it's a cultural control problem.

I grew up on a ranch with my father, so he educated us really early on about guns. We used to go target shooting all the time.

Understanding the long, sordid history of gun control in America is key to understanding the dangers of disarming.

Gun control means being able to hit your target. If I have a 'hot button' issue, this is definitely it. Don't even think about taking my guns. My rights are not negotiable, and I am totally unwilling to compromise when it comes to the Second Amendment.

I consider myself a Texan. I grew up in Texas and Oklahoma.

I am all for controlling guns.
