Judge Jeanine: ‘Shooters Kill People’

‘This is really about the individual’

EXCERPT:

PIRRO: "The Second Amendment people say the right of the individual to possess or bear arms shall not be infringed. And then on the left they say that guns kill people. I think shooters kill people. But let me start by saying, Sean, number one, that as a D.A., I would often have to tell a parent that their child was the victim of a homicide. So my heart goes out to all of those parents and all of those people who knew the victims here. But we need to be very clear. This is not a political issue. This is not an issue about the left and the right and the NRA. Actually, I’m sick of hearing the NRA and in the interest of full disclosure let me say I have many guns. I have long guns. I have handguns. But this is really about the individual and in this case an individual who not only threatened and posted himself on YouTube as someone who wanted to be a professional school shooter, but that individual had been expelled from school. He had all kinds of personal problems. And, yet, he was able to purchase a gun. Why was he able to purchase a gun? Because background checks, to be honest with you, are a joke in the sense that if you are on psychotropic drugs, if you have been in a mental institution, HIPPA law protects us — and I used to sign pistol permits all the time as a judge — it prevents us, the HIPPA laws, from finding out what your mental history is."
