DeSantis deflects gun control question day after Iowa school shooting
Ron DeSantis deflected a question on gun control from an Iowa resident just one day after a school shooting in Perry.
The Republican presidential candidate was asked what he would do about America’s “problem” with guns if he was to take office.
He was holding a campaign event 40 miles away from Thursday’s shooting at Perry High School.
“I think the student in Perry, he was not even eligible to have a firearm. So the question is, how did he get that?” Mr DeSantis responded, before criticising the media for “ignoring” some shootings.
“On stuff like Chicago, and some of this inner-city stuff, they get a slap on the wrist.”
