Does Steve Scalise support gun control after nearly being killed by one? His answer may surprise you

By Chris Enloe

Does House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) support gun control now that he almost lost his life to a firearm? He answered that question on Sunday.

What did he say?

Despite nearly losing his life to a terrorist who hated Republicans, Scalise, who is still recovering from injuries sustained during the June 14 ambush, told NBC’s Chuck Todd on “Meet the Press” Sunday that he will forever support the Second Amendment.

And instead of implementing stricter gun control after a highly publicized gun crime, Scalise suggested existing laws need to be better enforced.

“Our Founding Fathers believed strongly in gun rights for citizens,” he said. “Don’t try to put new laws in place that don’t fix these problems. They only make it harder for law-abiding citizens to own a gun.”

Scalise further explained that he believes the Founding Fathers intended the Second Amendment to be “unlimited.” However, the Supreme Court has said “reasonable” restrictions are constitutional.
