i've come to figure out going across the country in texas, in iowa, in oklahoma, in kansas that you can run on background checks and you are not going to be punished. the moms will have your back. it was always used as a tactic for keeping us from doing anything on it. >> how do you think this idea of gun-control legislation, doesn't fire up the left or the right base more? >> both sides get fired up but why democrats keep going after law-abiding citizens? we have constitutional right to bear arms. i have 5 guns and i'm more safe because of it and i'm tired of them doing this. do things that will actually make a difference? that is what we could do, go after people who have mental incapacity to do so? why don't we target people who are here illegally and purchase guns? democrats keep voting against that. if he was there, mister swalwell
