TITLE CREDIT SEQUENCE
Ashley Butcher: I’ve been shooting air rifles probably since I was about six years old and then I started shooting shotgun at age twelve.
Ashley Butcher: Well I’ve been around since I was little and I’ve always found it fun and our local gun club as um a just a hobby that I could do with my dad. When I couldn’t play softball anymore because of my size, shooting competitive was kind of like a new passion for me and I just love being, doing my sport.
Kyle Notovitz: I started out when I was twelve, well actually when I was thirteen, with a 20 gauge pump Remington. And that was the first gun I ever shot with. And I started out shooting with other kids in the SCTP, the scholastic clay target program. (Cut to SCTP image) Something that drew me to shooting right off the bat was the fact that I like competition and I also enjoy the people that I’m around with shooting, they’re really nice to be around.
Dick Trim: I had a great-great grandfather who was in the navy, and he had guns. So guns have always been in the family. When I was a kid we used to setup cardboard targets in the backyard, we a big, long backyard and we’d shoot the BB guns, shoot at targets. My father had his pistols that he carried in the navy and he had an Italian rifle that he brought home after the war. We always had guns.
Amy Wallace: I was very affected like a lot of Mom’s after Sandy Hook. I have a son who was seven at the time, he was in second grade, but the same age as some of the kids that were killed. And picking him up that day was very difficult. A lot of the Mom’s were crying, me included, and when I told him (son) you know what happened because I figured he would find out about it, he asked if that could ever happen at his school. I assured him that he was safe and everything was fine, but in my heart I honestly couldn’t say that that couldn’t happen. I was debating a lot of people that I knew and on Facebook and things like that and finally I was just like, instead of talking about it I want do something. So I looked for organizations and found Mom’s Demand Action. We were originally called one million Moms’ for gun control and changed the name to Mom’s Demand Action. Doing nothing is not the solution; there were sixteen mass shootings in 2012. Sandy Hook was only a few months after the Aurora shooting.
Text Slide: In January 2013, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo pushed an assault weapons ban through the state legislature.
Text Slide: On February 28th, gun enthusiasts protested the ban in Albany.

Ashley Butcher: The right is in our constitution that we as people have the right to keep in bear arms. I do think that background checks and certain regulations are necessary, but I do believe that people should have that right.
Ashley Butcher: This is a Z Sport, it’s from the company Zoli, which is based out of Italy and they’re North American representatives, they sponsor our youth team. As of right now according to my knowledge we have over 22,000 laws on the books for New York State and I don’t think that adding more is going to prevent people from committing crimes with them because like I said criminals don’t follow laws.
Ashley Butcher: Right now I’m working on getting my MBA, a dual major in marketing and finance and eventually I’d like to apply it to my sport and work for either a firearms corporation or a shooting association like the NSCA or the STCP. (Cut to Broll of NSCA and STCP badges)
Amy Butcher: I think its like any other sport you just find makes you happy and find what’s your passion, and mine happens to be breaking clay targets.
Ashley Butcher: I think to a certain extent you do need regulation because
Dick Trim: My heroes were always cowboys
Text Slide: In January 2013, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo pushed an assault weapons ban through the state legislature.
Text Slide: On February 28th, gun enthusiasts protested the ban in Albany.
Dick Trim: Guns have always been in the family, one or two at least. In the old west everyman carried his his gun. Some men had to use them, so men didn’t Some men chose to use their weapon as a way of life. During the Wild West the gun was a tool.

Amy Wallace: Obviously there are already some restrictions on the 2nd Amendment.
