Warner: 'Reasonable restraints' possible without 'dramatically interfering' with Second Amendment

Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) said in the wake of a deadly school shooting in Santa Fe, Texas, that “reasonable restraints” are possible without “dramatically interfering with people’s Second Amendment rights."

“This epidemic seems to have gotten much worse in the past ten years,” Warner said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” after 10 ten people were killed in a mass school shooting Friday in southeast Texas.

“We have these tragedies, it feels like, once a quarter. There’s a few days of mourning, with the exception of what happened after Parkland, where there seemed to be a moment,” he added, referring to the Feb. 14 massacre at a Parkland, Fla., high school that left 17 people dead.

“My hope and my appeal to everyone is — let’s do an ‘all of the above,’” Warner said Sunday.

“But please, for those folks that I work with in the Congress, take a moment and let your position evolve. There are ways that we can put reasonable restraints without dramatically interfering with people’s Second Amendment rights.”

Warner said in March after the shooting in Parkland that it was time for a "legitimate debate" on a ban on the assault-style weapons that have pervaded a number of mass shootings in the U.S. in recent years.

Sensible gun control won't do much to limit gun violence.

As long as there's more than 2x as many guns as adults in the country, this is at best an exercise in slightly moderating carnage.

IMO.
