GOP Rep. Brian Mast: There Are Limits on the Weapons We Can Purchase

‘I’m a die hard Second Amendment supporter’

EXCERPT:

MAST: "I think the debate does move forward. You know, look, I’m a firm believer. There aren’t evil weapons. There are evil people, there are good people. The -- the firearm is going to be used in the way that that person does it. That’s the truth about it. I’m a die-hard Second Amendment supporter. But I look at it and say we can’t go out there and purchase the squad automatic weapon that some of the people would carry, you know, a fully automatic weapon. We can’t go out there and purchase hand grenades. We can’t go out there and purchase an AT-4 rocket. There are limits. And we need to evaluate those limits. And look at what they are. That’s a real conversation that we can have that doesn’t infringe upon the Second Amendment. It's looking at what are those boundaries. What are the left and right limits of that. That’s a conversation that we should have."
