So, law enforcement will tell you that one of the greatest ways that we stop the flow of illegal weapons into our cities is to crack down on these trafficking straw purchasing rings.

I think there’s a lot of people saying when the deal came out that it was sort of bigger than folks had expected.

The boyfriend loophole is a big deal, right? Because right now, if a man beats up his wife, he is prevented from buying a weapon. But if a man beats up his girlfriend, that’s not a prohibited class of offenses.

The price this time around, again, I think just because of the pressure from constituents and voters was, you know, one that we could bear.

Yes, I can’t, you know, count the number of times you and I have talked on the air after one of these mass shootings and it all felt absolutely hopeless.

the White House should at least to show that they have commitments from Saudi Arabia to change going forward before they make this visit.

I think the movement will grow because, you know, 10 years of inaction at the federal government makes it hard for people to continue to show back up to rallies.
