White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Tuesday that “there’s not a simple answer” to the problem of mass shootings in the United States.

“You have a number of people that have unfortunately been through horrific tragedies like the one we saw in Parkland, Florida last week as well as some that hope they never have to go through that,” Sanders said at Tuesday’s press briefing. “We’ll have a number of parents and teachers and students from schools in the local area as well, and this is a listening session to see what could be done better, what the actual concerns of the students are, what they would like to see.”

“One of the things that the president wants to do is make sure that he sits down with a number of people from across all fronts. Unfortunately, when horrific tragedies like this happen, everybody wants a quick and a simple answer, but there isn’t one. There’s not a quick and there’s not a simple answer.” (RELATED: Sarah Sanders Shuts Down CNN’s Acosta By Bringing Up The Elephant In The Room)
