What does a common sense gun law look like? It abides by the recent Supreme Court decision, very, very clear that we will have guns available to us as a society. It makes gun restrictions unavailable to 18 year olds. Certain semi automatic weapons should be unavailable to 18 year olds. We've seen enough shootings. We can go that. We can go that far. We need to look at background checks and we need to look at mental health a lot more seriously, when it comes to guns, guns don't pull their own triggers. (1:07:19–1:07:28)
