Rep. Raskin Calls for AR-15 Ban in Secret Service Hearing on Trump Shooting
Jul 22, 2024, 02:23 PM
In a recent hearing focused on the Secret Service's failures to protect President Trump, Rep. Jamie Raskin used his opening statement to advocate for stricter gun control measures, specifically calling for a ban on AR-15 rifles. Raskin compared the attempted assassination of Trump to other mass shootings, including an incident in Butler, PA where 2 people died, and highlighted the use of AR-15s in such incidents. He emphasized that Trump escaped the attack, unlike many others who have been victims of AR-15 shootings. Despite the hearing's original intent to address Secret Service shortcomings, Raskin's remarks largely centered on the need for gun control, drawing criticism for not focusing on the agency's failures.
