Youngkin Responds to Gun Control Talks

Youngkin was recently interviewed on Fox News’s One Nation, where he gave an in-depth interview on his views on how he sees the back and forth on gun control in America.

Over the last week, and in response to the tragedy that took place at Uvalde, Texas, Biden has signed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act into law. Governor Youngkin gives a deep dive answer into his views on gun control, and what he sees as politics creeping into’ the debate on guns and Second Amendment rights.

“I’m a staunch defender of our Second Amendment, and I think what’s happened is politics has crept into this issue. It doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t have a discussion about how we keep our kids safe in school, which is why we went to work right away.

I brought our secretary of education, I brought our secretary of public safety, our secretary of health and human resources together literally the next morning. We immediately pushed harder to get in our budget funding for school resource officers so every school can have one. We signed a bill that said that every school is going to have a safety audit prepared with law enforcement in order to keep kids safe.
