Red flag laws are to try to ostensibly stop troubled individuals, mentally deranged or ill people, people with homicidal intent, from buying firearms. You oppose those laws. Tell me why. Well, if you look at where they've been enacted. I mean, In New York they've [red flag laws] been enacted for a while and it's not stopping gun violence. So I think right now we have to understand the culture. When you talk about defunding the police, it's reestablishing that idea. There's consequences for actions. Right. (08:51–08:56)
