2016 Vice-Presidential Debate: on Gun Control


Tim Kaine: I'm a gun owner but I'm scarred from scourge of gun violence

I'm a gun-owner. I'm a strong Second Amendment supporter. But I've got a lot of scar tissue, because when I was governor of Virginia, there was a horrible shooting at Virginia Tech, and we learned that gaps in the background record check system should have been closed and it could have prevented that crime. And if we do, we won't have the tragedies that we did. We can support the Second Amendment and do things like background record checks and make us safer, and that will make police safer, too.
