it is real problematic. but it is the president. you certainly have to welcome him. but you have hopes and expectations then that he would take that moment of moral leadership for our nation and be both a consoler, but also bring our country together on things like universal back ground checks. you had a speech today laying out gun control and you are a gun owner and lost a nephew to gun violence. what kind of legislation realistically do you think could be passed in the house and the senate and signed into law by the president that would affect guns, especially weapons of mass destruction here in the united states? i think if we could look at this as a public health issue, not as a political issue, we could make it a difference. public health issue would say even gun owners want to make sure they are not in the wrong hands. universal background checks and
so senator santorum, i know you re a strong supporter of gun rights, take a look at poll numbers when it comes to public support for gun safety measures. these are all from a quinnipiac poll, a different poll. one of them universal back ground checks, 94% support. another one mandatory waiting period for gun purchases from 2018, 83% support. and a poll from in year may, 77% requiring individuals to obtain a license before being able to purchase a gun. that is a rather far reaching measure tough to get through the senate. but public sentiment is with further restrictions on gun ownership and the u.s. senate is not. public is for it until you have a discussion about what the consequences are. and this is everyone said well why doesn t this happen in it doesn t happen in the vacuum. it happens because there is actually a debate about it. there is actually we look the at consequences of it. and what are the consequences of it? the consequences of it that
