Duckworth: The death toll from the Uvalda attack would have been lower if the attacker had had pistols instead of two AR-15s

On Thursday’s MSNBC All In, Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-Illinois) pressed for a ban on gunshots and high-capacity magazines, saying if there was a school shooter in Uvalde, Texas. He is 15 years old, but he has a gun because at the age of 18 he can’t get two assault weapons”, “then we wouldn’t have such a high death rate” in our hunt.

Duckworth says, “95% of Americans are Republicans and even MAGA Republicans, including hunters and outdoor enthusiasts, some of them support general background checks. It’s not a camel nose under the tent, Chris. More than dead kids, politicians who care about checks, salaries, returns from gun manufacturers. We’re talking about. That’s the point here. … We’re talking about removing assault weapons – we’re talking about reintroducing the ban. We’re talking about removing high-capacity logs. If this shooter walked into this room full of young children and at 18 he couldn’t buy two assault weapons, so he only had one gun and not two AR-15s. “We wouldn’t have had such a high death rate then. We do today. We can do a lot now, and to be honest, my colleagues are more concerned with checking their accounts while they’re at school than killing babies.”
