MSNBC’s Cavanaugh: ‘We Just Got To Have the Political Will’ to Make America Safer

‘Gun control is one, but there’s many other thinks’

RUSH EXCERPT:

CAVANAUGH: "Well, the shooters that target workplaces are, you know, the same shooters that target churches and schools. They sometimes have mental issues. Secret Service just did a study on 28 or 29 shooters and I think 64% were suffering from some mental episode. But not all people have a mental episode. We have a lot of people seeking revenge, Nicolle. People who choke on an empty grudge. People who just want retribution. They’re mad at somebody. A company, their employer, significant other in a domestic situation where they take the lives of everyone. Certainly just the boss who fired them. You know, we don’t have any coping skills in H America. The first time we run into a bump in the road, you know, we just load up the guns and the bandaleros and kill everybody. Steve Schmitt is exactly right. He’s talking wisdom as I think he always does. I’m from Tennessee, and, you know, we have great leaders like Howard baker here in the Senate. And great, great leaders who would do the things that can help the country. We need those leaders to step up. Because this has to be changed on many fronts. Gun control is one, but there’s many other thinks, security, you know, education, coping skills, mental health issues. It’s just when, you know, special interest groups try to carve at one thing you can’t touch, can’t touch this, you can’t touch that. Anybody who’s giving you that answer is giving you the wrong answer because you have to fight the war on all fronts and you have to have strides on all fronts to make America safer. And we can do it. We just got to have the political will."
