Sen. John Kennedy: 'We do not need more gun control, we need more idiot control'
Fox News
Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., joined "Fox News Primetime" Tuesday to discuss his Democratic colleagues' calls for gun control after a mass shooting at a Boulder, Colorado grocery store killed 10 people, including including veteran police officer Eric Talley.
In my judgment, we do not need more gun control, we need more idiot control. How do we do that? We have already tried, the Republicans have. Senator [Chuck] Grassley, Senator [Ted] Cruz had a bill to strengthen our national database. We regulate gun ownership in America. If you're convicted of certain crimes, if you have a tendency to violence, if you're mentally ill and you want to buy a gun, your name has to run through a database. The problem is that the database has huge holes in it. And many federal agencies and state agencies are very cavalier about sending in the names. Grassley and Cruz's bill, which I support, would have tightened up the database and it would have cracked down on people who have guns who shouldn't have guns. Do you know why the bill didn't pass? Many of my Democratic colleagues filibustered it.
