Doug Burgum on Families & Children

Family and mental health are solution to mass shootings

BURGUM: The liberal left seems to be just completely bent on prosecuting law-abiding citizens that are gun owners. But strict gun laws [aren't] working. What we have to do is get back to the core issues about the family. We have to get back to behavioral health and mental health. We have got to get back to actually enforcing the laws, [instead of] defunding the police. The police have become the bad guys. Every time I see a policeman, the first thing I say is, "Thank you." And so does everybody else in my family and most of the people in our state, because they know we have to respect the people that are out there defending us every single day.
