发帖数: 10345 | 1 Heidi Heitkamp: Reported White House Gun Control Plans 'Way In Extreme'
Democratic Senator Heidi Heitkamp (N.D) told ABC's 'This Week' that gun
control plans reportedly being considered by the White House are "way in
extreme."
The Washington Post on Saturday reported that the Obama administration is
weighing a broad approach to tackling the gun issue. Some of the measures
apparently being weighed are universal background checks and stricter
penalties for giving guns to a minor or bringing a gun near a school.
Heitkamp, who has an A-rating from the NRA, said that "I think you need to
put everything on the table, but what I hear from the administration — and
if the Washington Post is to be believed — that’s way — way in extreme of
what I think is necessary or even should be talked about. And it’s not
gonna pass."
She said that addressing the country's failing mental health system should
be a bigger priority for Congress.
“Let’s start addressing the problem," she said. "To me, one of the issues
that I think comes — screams out of this is the issue of mental health and
the care for the mentally ill in our country, especially the dangerously
mentally ill. And so we need to have a broad discussion before we start
talking about gun control."
She made simliar comments on CNN's 'State Of The Union'.
Of the rumored White House plan, she said, "I don’t think that proposal
necessarily fit the bill for me."
“I’m a staunch supporter of the Second Amendment, but I also believe that
we need to do things that prevent what happened at Sandy Hook Elementary,"
she said. “I’m not a big believer that this is a one-size-fits-all
solution. We need to have a balanced approach and we need to live in reality
, what can you actually get passed." | C*******r
