Fox News Host Calls For Stricter Gun Laws Live On Air After Minnesota Shooting
HuffPost
"We've got to decide whether or not we want to live like this," former Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy said.
Fox News host and former Republican South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy questioned stricter gun control legislation when he was in office and took money from the National Rifle Association. But live on air Wednesday, in the wake of the deadly shooting in Minnesota, he appeared to have a change of heart.
“We’re going to have a conversation of freedom versus protecting children,” he told the hosts of Fox News’ “Outnumbered” after a gunman fired bullets into a back-to-school Mass, killing two young children and injuring 17 others.
“I mean, how many school shootings does it take before we’re going to have a conversation about keeping firearms out,” he continued, echoing calls from gun violence prevention groups. Shooters are often white males, he also pointed out.
The show’s hosts questioned his stance. Lisa Boothe suggested there were already enough laws on the books to protect people from gun violence, and Rachel Campos-Duffy offered more policing in schools and suggested anti-depressants were to blame ― echoing the baseless claims made by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy.
Gowdy pushed back.
