On Gun Control: Gun laws effective but no one law will stop everything

No one law is going to stop everything, but there's just no question when you put in background checks, suicides with guns and murder rates go down. When you get rid of assault weapons you stop the mass murders. These are not public health things. This is too much of access to guns and particularly to assault weapons, which were designed to kill the maximum number of people as quickly as possible, and as gruesomely as you could possibly do it.

On Principles & Values: Words matter; what President says is very important

I think words matter. People look to their leadership for guidance and to say that it doesn't have an effect is wrong. What the President says is very important. If he supports or says nice things about racists, it encourages racism. If he goes and says nice things about white supremacists, he encourages that kind of violence. I hope he understands this. He cannot go and shoot off his mouth and say anything, he's the President of the United States. Source: CBS Face the Nation interview for 2019 Democratic primary Aug 11, 2019
