Part of the right-wing argument against gun sanity hinges on the idea that gun owners will be justified in killing cops if gun laws change.
JUAN WILLIAMS (CO-HOST): He said it, right there — “You know what? If you have a gun that’s made for the battlefield, you shouldn’t have it in your home,” and he explained his position. I think that’s — not only you saw the response from the audience, Dana, the other people on stage all said Beto, you did a great job.
JESSE WATTERS (CO-HOST): So, you think that people going door to door, taking legally purchased weapons is a good idea?
WILLIAMS: No, no, no. I think — look, that’s fear mongering, talking about “Oh, you gotta go door to door” —
WATTERS: — Because that’s actually going to cause more violence.
…
WATTERS: This is going to cost more lives than mass shootings would cost.
WILLIAMS: No, come on —
WATTERS: You’re kidding me? You are going to go to people and say, “Hey, hand it over, give it the hell to me?”
So…Gun sanity will result in dead cops, so we must keep the laws as they are. While Chris Coons doesn’t like ruffling the feathers of gun radical snowflakes, Beto did a great job getting these bloodthirsty motherfuckers on the record.
