Howard Prince: B-But how come? W-Why aren't we doing something about it? I mean, why isn't everybody armed? You know, we should learn how to use a gun, I think. I think it's a big mistake that anyone goes to military school is only you send them there when they're bad.
Committee Chairman: Mr. Prince, this committee is just as concerned about the threat of Communism as you are.
