So how do we keep guns out of criminals hands Mr Speaker when an Arizona judge just said police departments can sell confiscated guns (voluntarily turned in or evidence hold) to the public? How do you keep guns out of the hands of yet to be determined terrorists? How do you keep guns out of the hands of the mentally unfit?
How do you keep people safe and not infringe on one’s Second Amendment right Mr. Speaker? Because, it’s pretty obvious, all the gun laws we currently have ain’t doing the job – PB/TK
Ryan: ‘We’ve Got to Do a Better Job of Making Sure That Criminals Don’t Get Guns’ – By Susan Jones / Aug 22 2017
What can be done to prevent and intervene in the growth of “far-right extremism” and white supremacy? That was one of the questions put to House Speaker Paul Ryan Monday night at a town hall in Racine, Wisconsin, hosted by CNN.
Ryan’s response – keep guns away from criminals:
“I’d say two things. Number one, you’ve got to — we’ve got to do a better job of making sure that criminals don’t get guns or that people who are suspected of terrorism, like domestic terrorism, don’t get guns.
Just like we saw yesterday (sic), Heather Heyer was killed by an act of domestic terrorism. (Applause) So this…this fits into that category. So I think we have to do a better job of making sure that terrorists do not get guns.
We passed mental health reform just last December. And in that, we wanted to make sure that people who –who had mental problems were not getting guns, so we always have to make sure that those who are not supposed to get guns don’t get guns, including people who are — you know, who are domestic terrorists.
But we have to make sure that we are keeping the constitutionally right to bear arms intact for people. And that’s why we have a rule of law, judicial process, that must be followed.”
