David Hogg: ‘We Need To Go a Lot Further’ on Gun Control

EXCERPT:

HOGG: “After Uvalde, despite what many people said, many people said that we wouldn't be able to pass a gun law in Congress, but we did. For the first time in 30 years, Congress passed a federal gun law that expanded background checks for people under the age of 21, and Republicans and Democrats voted for that. And over 800 high-risk individuals under the age of 21 have been prevented from buying a gun like an AR-15 because of that law. The FBI has openly talked about it many times, but that's clearly not enough. We need to go a lot further. We need to pass universal background checks. We need to repeal the industry protections. And we need to have a holistic way of addressing this that doesn't address just how does somebody get a gun, but why does somebody feel the need to pick it up in the first place? And I know we all agree we don't want this to continue.”
