Conor Lamb on Gun Control

 

 


Put the background check law into full effect

Conor Lamb said that new gun laws aren't the answer to preventing more mass shootings. "I believe we have a pretty good law on the books and it says on paper that there are a lot of people who should never get guns in their hands,"

"And we know that the background check system is not achieving that result. What I think it's going to take is people in Congress who are willing to do more than just talk, who are willing to actually work together and do some things that would really produce change."
