i've never seen a conversation about that. you have nikolas cruz who appears to be a poster child for a mentally deranged individual who gave every warning sign there is something wrong here, yet the system failed and we failed the american people by not making sure the system was working. >> certainly there are a lot of issues that have to be addressed, including, as you pointed out, mental health. what about reviving the ban on assault weapons in the united states? would you be in favor of that? >> i don't support that because i do believe once you start going down that path -- i stand with the second amendment. i believe that's one of our individually constitutionally guaranteed freedoms and going down that path for me is a bridge too far. i'm willing to have the conversation about gun reform, about background check reform, but at the same time we can't miss the opportunity to really moving the needle in regards to removing these mentally deranged threats that exist in our society and make sure we're reforming the system to address people like nikolas cruz.
