Ron DeSantis spoke
about the mass shooting that took place in
Lewiston, Maine, the night before.
.
He said that if he was elected president, he
wouldn't sign a gun safety measure, CNN reports.
Instead, DeSantis said more individuals
with mental health issues would be
institutionalized under his administration.
.
I think what’s ultimately effective
is holding people accountable,
either through mental adjudication
if they’re crazy or convicting them
when they’re committing crimes, Ron DeSantis, via CNN.
DeSantis went on to say that he wasn't sure a
"red flag" law, which bans a person suffering
mental health issues from obtaining firearms,
would have helped in the recent mass shooting.

In this case, I’m not sure.
I think an
involuntary commitment, though,
would have kept him off the street, and
I think that would have done the trick, Ron DeSantis, via CNN.
CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asked DeSantis
if he really wouldn't support a single
gun measure if elected president.
The Florida governor replied,
“Restricting Second Amendment rights?
I’m gonna uphold the Constitution.”.

made calls for more institutionalization

Part of the problem is, we used
to have mental institutions...
we had a mental institution where
you take a sicko, like this guy,
he was a sick guy, so many signs,
and you bring him to a mental health institution.
We’ve got to get them
out of our communities, Donald Trump, via CNN
