David Rivkin on Gun Control and the Second Amendment
The following is a transcript of David Rivkin’s appearance on the BBC Newshour radio broadcast on December 17, 2012. The show was a direct response to the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT.
Host: David Rivkin joined us from the Washington studio and on the line from San Francisco I also spoke to Clara Jeffrey who is coeditor of Mother Jones a left leaning investigations magazine, does she think that this is a turning point?
Clara Jeffery: I think it could be, I think this has outraged the country. It’s one of many mass shootings this year. The numbers keep getting worse and worse. We’ve had twice as many casualties as in any year past and I think it will behoove ordinary people to organize and responsible gun owners to step forward and say that they too support reasonable restrictions. We need to put the wind behind politicians to make the change.
