MSNBC’s Harris-Perry: Confiscate Guns So Husbands Don’t Shoot Their Wives

‘A lot of people shoot their wives with perfectly legal guns’

HARRIS-PERRY: "Each of these cases is — and the question of fear. Is it in part because we live in a country where really anybody at any moment might, in fact, have a gun. Again, I keep thinking about his father in Chicago calling for help for his son, calling the police, and his son ends up shot and killed by the police. I don’t know exactly what happened. We will be learning more. I presume some part of it is these police officers think this kid might be armed because we think everybody might be armed. Shouldn’t officers be the number one folks behind gun control?
SHANE: "Well, you do have a lot of second amendment officers. I don’t think there’s much wrong with it. The reality is how are we going to keep the illegal guns away from people? It’s a very easy thing to do to keep guns —"
HARRIS-PERRY: "A lot of people shoot their wives with perfectly legal guns."
SHANE: "And?"
HARRIS-PERRY: "So they wouldn’t if they did not have them. So, so —"
SHANE: "But we’re not going to take guns away from people. We’re just going to make it harder for law-abiding citizens to get them."
