Charles Krauthammer argued “if you are a jihadist who wants to kill Americans, you are not going to be held back by the niceties of the gun control laws.”
Appearing on Fox New’s “Special Report” on Tuesday, Krauthammer explained that the San Bernardino terrorist attack happened in California and “they’ve got the strictest laws” when it comes to gun control. (RELATED: Democratic Rep. Sanchez Decries ‘Multiautomatic Round Weapons’ [VIDEO])
For guns, California has “universal background checks, they have magazine limits, and they have a ban on assault weapons. Look, if you are a Jihadist who wants to kill Americans, you are not going to be held back by the niceties of the gun control laws,” Krauthammer insisted.
“Even an ordinary criminal gets around them. And we saw in the case of San Bernardino he got them from a neighbor, look, or a friend who knows or they’re going to be supplied illicitly. This is such a red herring,” Krauthammer suggested. (RELATED: Obama Calls Gun Control ‘A Matter Of National Security’)
