Mark Kelly on Jacksonville: ‘Obvious’ Floridians Need ‘to Take a Serious Look’ at Their Gun Laws
WHITFIELD: "Of course, our hearts are going out to the many families who are going to receive some terrible news from authorities who do say multiple fatalities. I also want to bring in retired astronaut mark Kelly. A strong advocate for gun safety, gun reform, especially after the shooting of your wife, former representative Gabby Giffords. Mark, good to see you. So your impressions. Of course, we originally booked you to talk about John McCain, which we still want to do. But your impressions now of what we’re hearing of this tragic shooting happening in Jacksonville, Florida."
KELLY: "Well, when you listen to Ryen, who you were just speaking to, it’s pretty obvious shootings like this are incredibly chaotic. People running in all difficult directions, not sure of the details, necessarily how many shooters there were. I think it just demonstrates, you know, how difficult a situation these mass shootings are, not only for the people there obviously, but for law enforcement. It’s going to take some time to figure out the facts. I have to say, it’s really sorry to see this happen in Florida yet again. About a year and a half ago was the Pulse nightclub shooting, and then the shooting in parkland at the high school, and now this. I think it’s obvious to people, a lot of people living in Florida, that they need to continue to take a serious look at their state’s gun laws."
