Real smart common sense gun laws which by the way, ali, we ve had for six years, and all the nra arguments, none of them came to fruition. the slippery slope, government will take your gun, none of that happened. six years, nobody walked up to me and said, you know, governor, i m supposed to have a gun legally, and i can t get it. but people are safer. so you can have common sense gun laws, a real new look at terrorism based on hate, and you need to address both of those issues. that s el paso. that s the synagogue shootings. that s the orlando nightclub shooting. that s the common denominator. hate plus guns in the wrong hands or extraordinarily dangerous guns. governor, i ve got a minute left. we ve got two presidential candidates in this show. you ve got a view on how democrats can deal with these particular issues on a national level in the presidential race.
