Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney said Sunday that government action can’t protect everyone. This comes after police said a gunman killed 12 people at a mass shooting in Virginia Beach on Friday.
“There are things the government can do, and there’s things this government is doing, but we’re never going to protect everybody against everybody who is deranged, insane,” he said on Sunday’s episode of Meet the Press.
He all but said that the executive branch won’t push for new legislation or policy change, saying President Donald Trump believed in Second Amendment rights, and he construed the shooting as an exception among gunowners.
