I want to point out, as of shortly before 7 00 am when we went on the air i went to the and there was no official statement on the shooting that ook place in el paso or what happened overnight in ohio. Ark stone, it wont take long for the poll six thes to propose some meaningless gun control background ng checks. Both parties are afraid of the votes. Losing on the heritage website i think headline. Broad gun control restrictions are not the answer. Measureson gun control are already ineffective in tates they for currently implemented. Strict gun control may be the is simply nse, but not the answer to mass public shootings. Focus on the major underlying causes of the gunviolence. Ntreated Mental Health problems. Gang and drug activity that transfers and the lack of Economic Opportunities that lead to the cycles of poverty and crime. Details a the heritage. Org. Rish is joining us out west in seattle.
