Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., said there is a political movement brewing in the United States to try and overturn the Second Amendment in its entirety, and do away with a citizen’s right to keep and bear arms.
Kinzinger, who wrote a piece following the mass shootings in Dayton and El Paso supporting “red-flag” laws, said there is an inherent danger of political overshoot that could create a stream of unintended consequences, but claimed it would be better than doing nothing.
“It is unfair that you would deny somebody a right by putting a restriction in place because… I own an AR. 99.99 percent of us are responsible with these guns. But as a society, we can’t predict individual behavior,” he said on “The Daily Briefing,” Wednesday.
