Retired US Army Veteran, gun owner and gun violence survivor, Melody McFadden, joins Kelly and Chip to simplify the conversation about gun laws and gun violence.

"I don't want your guns, because I don't want to give you my guns."

Melody tells the stories of loss she has faced at the hands of unsafe gun use and also how simple it could be to make those moments safe.

On the date this was recorded in mid June, 3,599 people in America had been shot and killed since the mass shooting in Uvalde, TX on May 24.

"You have to get a driver's license to drive a car, why shouldn't we have safety measures about owning guns?"

Melody is full of love, faith and helpful small action steps we can all take to make our country a safe place to live.
