"I haven’t touched a gun since I was in the military, because guns kill things. People who have guns have them for one reason: to kill things. But, sure, let’s introduce more and more guns into our society. Let’s make them available everywhere. Let’s make guns easier to get than registering to vote. All these guns are a Republican problem. They have even gotten to the point of telling us that more guns make us safer."
