MSNBC Guest: Without New Gun Laws: ‘We Are Going To Be Burying More Americans’

‘These are supposed to be gun free zones’

“Until the community finds the balance of dealing with weapons in America and realize -- 320 Americans we've got over 300 million guns, so the guns are going to be there. We have to find a way to balance people owning and possessing firearms and mental health challenges that they have are we're going to keep repeating this. Our main concern, of course, is the injured, the wounded, the dead, their families, the community, all of those things we're concerned with, but this could be anywhere USA. As you indicate, Brian, we've got 3300 full-time students. That’s community colleges all over this country. And, ‘these are supposed to be gun-free zones’ where people can go and educate themselves to better their lives not to lose their lives. And we still, as a nation, we have not found out the way the deal with that. And we still deal with mass shootings where, just like Ted Bundy is a serial killer, and that's a number that many serial killers would try to get above, we find mass shooters look at shootings today, they look at how many people were killed and injured in the last one and many times they see – they see that as a barricade, as a number that they have to get over. And these are national challenges that there are no easy answers. And to pass a Gun Law or to pass a simple Mental Health Law until we combine all these elements of the community, we're going to be shaking our heads and wringing our hands or we are going to be burying more Americans just like this.”
