Parkland’s Abzug Calls for Banning Semi-Automatic Rifles

EXCERPT:

ABZUG: "Well I -- I think the most important thing starts with banning semi-automatic rifles. The governor’s plan which he released earlier this week, it’s a good plan and it's a good step in the right direction, but in no way is that fully what we need to do. Other countries have problems with mental health and things like that, so when we do not take care of the major problem, which is these types of guns, then we’re not completely solving the problem and this could happen again. And also another thing is, it doesn’t necessarily have to happen at schools, it can happen anywhere, at a park, it can happen at a concert. We’ve seen these things happen at Orlando, Las Vegas, San Bernardino, so we -- and we can’t have security everywhere. So by getting rid of the semi-automatic rifles it would be the best step in the right direction."
