During the October 4 airing of CNN’s State of the Union, gun control proponent Mark Kelly reacted to the Umpqua Community College (UCC) shooting by calling for an expansion of the same background checks that the Oregon gunman passed to get his weapons.The definition of insanity is to try the exact same thing over and over and expected a different result.
In other words, every would-be gun owner should have to pass the same background check that the Oregon gunman passed to get his guns. Ironically, on March 4, Breitbart News reported that Kelly’s wife—Gabby Giffords—argued that every would-be gun owner should have to pass the same background check that her attacker passed to acquire his gun.
What the CNN host failed to do is ask, how would universal background checks have made a difference in the UCC shooting or the shooting of his wife?
