Mark Kelly: Gun Free Zones Are a Good Idea

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

BLITZER: “Mark Kelly is joining us, a former space shuttle commander and his wife, the former U.S. Congresswoman Gabrielle giffords is -- was wounded in an incident, injured severely, the co-founder of Americans for responsible solutions. Captain Kelly, thanks for joining us. I want to get your quick reaction to what we just heard from former governor Rick Perry of Texas.”

KELLY: “Wolf, I've flown in combat more than 30 times. I've been shot at a lot, it's not what people expect. I would suspect if you have a dark theater with multiple individuals, even people that think of themselves as the good guy with the gun and one person starts shooting and then there are others and instead of -- in this case instead of two dead individuals, you know, maybe that's four or maybe that's ten. Just consider how difficult the police have in handling somebody with a firearm. How often the police make mistakes. I appreciate that governor Perry thinks that maybe under some circumstances this could help. But the majority of the time I don't think everybody is Clint Eastwood. Hard to understand, where to point the gun, who you're shooting at. And often I think we'd see more bodies.”
