significant. the clinton foundation to go along with that? i talk about this on my radio show. at the same time we have to focus on the current administration and what s going on in this add bill: there is not a statute of limitations just because you aren t in public life anymore. just because she is no longer the secretary of state doesn t mean we shouldn t investigate this but also the decision to not go after this with a proper investigation. let s be clear. robert mueller knew what was going on. obama administration knew what was going on but members of congress didn t. that shows there was some type of cover-up. we don t know what it is yet and we need an investigation. sandra: going back to newt gingrich. he is bringing it together, he is saying the clintons are only part of this. wait until you get to loretta
so, that doesn t surprise me. so, congressman, do you think this is just the price of doing business then to protect the second amendment? i m not going to be that dismiss iive. i am fierce about protecting the second amendment. most of the people that own these weapons, like 99.99%, aren t a threat to anybody. so, to me, i m from a state where we lost three times as many people by a guy using fertilizer and a truck. can you turn almost anything into a weapon of mass destruction if the evil of intent is there to do it. that doesn t mean we shouldn t minimize this. we must. i can t give you a quick, easy answer. some of your colleagues on the democratic aisle said again this is a wake-up call that a civilian doesn t need an ar-15 or semi automatic rifle. i assume you would be against banning that type of weapon?
