One week after a gunman killed two people after opening fire in a Lafayette, La. movie theater, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) said that people should be able to bring firearms into movie theaters.
“I’m a big believer that where you are legally allowed to be, you should be able to have your Second Amendment rights as well,” he said on CNN in response to a question about former Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s (R) recent comments about guns in theaters, according to The Hill.
“There are private property rights issues, I understand that. Somebody has a right to say what they want to do with their private property, but I think the fewer restrictions on law-abiding citizens, the better for them and the better for our country,” Jindal continued, according to The Hill.
Perry on Sunday said that people should be able to bring their firearms into movie theaters in order to help prevent mass shootings.
“I think that it makes a lot of sense to send a message across this country. If we believe in the Second Amendment, and we believe in people’s right to protect themselves and defend themselves, and their families,” he said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
