People Can't Believe This GOP Senator's Comments After The Shooting In Midtown Manhattan Are Real

Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) joined Fox News on Monday to dismiss the idea of legislation aimed at preventing gun violence, just hours after a gunman killed four people in an office building in New York City’s Midtown Manhattan neighborhood.

Kennedy told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that “all you can do in a time like this is be sorry” for the victims of the mass shooting before predicting that some of his colleagues will call for more gun control laws on Tuesday morning.

“We’ve got hundreds of gun control laws, Sean. Maybe thousands,” he said. He later added, “We don’t need more gun control. We need more idiot control. And I don’t know exactly how to do that but I do know this — I don’t want to hear anyone feeling sorry for this guy who did this.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Kennedy entertained the return of a “more aggressive” version of the controversial “stop and frisk” policing strategy in New York City, one that was found unconstitutional in 2013 as evidence showed it was used to frequently target Black and Hispanic people.

I agree, we need a lot more idiot control. So when are they locking you up Kennedy?

Start by leaving the gun lobby out of the conversations and only serious people with a serious mission.

Maybe gun sellers should be partially responsible? Or more oversight on the laws?

He is right about "idiot control " and not feeling sorry for the shooter. OMG I can't believe I said that.
Use a gun or cause a minor to use a gun and jail for you.

And I am quite sure their grieving loved ones really appreciate your sorry ass . As far as I am concerned every one of you should be charged for arming murderers thereby making it possible to kill people. When Bush let the assault weapon ban be lifted, killing went up over 200%.

Even though he had a history of mental illness. He walked through mid-town Manhattan at rush hour with said long gun, and nobody noticed him. How the fuck does that happen?
