In a day that featured one piece of emotional testimony after another, Sen. Lindsey Graham explained his opposition to the gun control bill before the Senate in a Judiciary Committee meeting.
Graham explained that in his opinion limiting gun ownership would make people less safe and described the real-life example of a woman faced with a home invader to illustrate his point. Graham's full remarks are in the above video.
Appearing before the Committee in support of tougher gun control legislation was former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords of Arizona, who was shot in the head in her home district while meeting with constituents in January 2011. Her testimony is also viewable above.
