Carol Lee: ‘You Can’t Really Have a Good Debate About Guns in the Wake of a Tragedy’

‘When it happens outside of the raw pain that the country’s feeling about something, then maybe it’ll be a little bit more serious’

RUSH EXCERPT:

LEE: "And that’s a great outlook. I think you can’t really have a good debate about guns in the wake of a tragedy, like we saw in Las Vegas. And that’s how these conversations keep happening. When it happens outside of the raw pain that the country’s feeling about something, then maybe it’ll be a little bit more serious. But the idea that Republicans are softening on this, it’s a tone that maybe a little bit different. But it’s not a policy. Saying you want to kick this to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms to review, when they’ve already reviewed it and said the bump stocks are legal under current law, means you’re just trying to avoid any sort of actual legislation. And so, you know, until there’s actual- until the Congress actually does something, it’s hard to see that issue being resolved."
