Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) on Sunday downplayed the relevance of gun laws to the Aurora, Colo. massacre that left a dozen people dead and at least 58 wounded.
“Everything should be looked at, but to think that somehow gun control is — or increased gun control is — the answer, in my view that would have to be proved,” he said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
The senator said gun-rights advocates “would be glad to have a conversation.” But “to somehow lead to the conclusion that this was somehow caused by the fact that we don’t have more gun control legislation — I don’t think it’s been proved.”
