The amount of studies that show [ UNKNOWN ] continue to use those weapons against [ UNKNOWN ] Why on Earth would you want somebody who [ UNKNOWN ] to have access to a gun? You also vote to repeal background checks for private gun sales, you cosponsored a bill to That would allow people to carry a concealed firearm without a permit? Do you know that some people injured in the Las Vegas shooting who didn't have health insurance are having to rely on go fund me pages because they can't pay for their medical bills? There's something wrong in our country where republicans believe it's a right to own a gun, but a privilege to have healthcare. None of that [ INAUDIBLE ] Follow up to that one, if you have common sense gun control laws in place, what Las Vegas shooter would not have access to bump stocks and large capacity magazines which allow a shooter to unleash up to 100 bullets before reloading. Because we don't have common sense gun control He was able to kill 58 people. Why won't you support common sense gun laws? Research also shows more guns does not make a place safer.

But they have more crime and more murders. And anywhere else in the United States. Look at Detroit. Same thing. When I am out, okay, I heard a very interesting speech.
