John Kennedy (R-LA) pushed back on the Democrats\u2019 attempts to push for gun control in the wake of the incident that unfolded yesterday in Boulder, Colorado that resulted in the deaths of ten people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese killings were were terrible,\u201d Kennedy said, \u201cThey were horrible. I\u2019m reminded though that, you know, America is a big country, we\u2019re free. And one of the prices we pay for that freedom is that you\u2019re always going to have some people who abuse it. Freedom is risk. But we\u2019ve got to concentrate on is how to control that risk; you\u2019re not going to stop the killings until you stop the killers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut you don\u2019t stop drunk drivers not getting rid of all sober drivers, which is what many of my Democratic friends want to do with respect to the Second Amendment,\u201d Kennedy continued. \u201cIn my judgment, we do not need more gun control. We need more idiot control. How do we do that? We\u2019ve already tried, the Republicans have, Senator Grassley, Senator Cruz had a bill to strengthen our national database. We regulate gun ownership in America, if you\u2019re convicted of certain crimes, if you have a tendency to violence, if you\u2019re mentally ill, and you want to buy a gun, your name has to run through a database.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe problem is that the database has huge holes in it,\u201d Kennedy continued. \u201cAnd many federal agencies and state agencies are very cavalier about sending in the names, Grassley and Cruz\u2019s bill, which I support, would have tightened up the database and it would have cracked down on people who have guns who shouldn\u2019t have guns. You know why the bill didn\u2019t pass? Many of my Democratic colleagues filibustered it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sen.
