EXCLUSIVE — Rep. Dan Crenshaw said that the "assault weapons" ban being pushed by both his Democratic colleagues in the House and President Joe Biden would not prevent the type of school shootings that America is experiencing.
"You know, an AR is not an 'assault weapon,' whatever 'assault weapons' are," Crenshaw told the Washington Examiner in an interview."But look — it's a more capable weapon, I'll grant them that.""For self-defense — your AR is your self-defense weapon. It's crazy to say otherwise. If you say otherwise, it means you know nothing about gunfights. And I know a few things about gunfights," the retired Navy SEAL added.
Reacting to critics who say the idea would be too expensive, he said the price would be worth protecting children."In this last big shooting in Nashville, we know from the manifesto they chose the school with less security," he said."It really is that simple." "Democrats are going to say, 'Well, there's police there. That doesn't decrease school shootings.' But what they're forgetting is to think about the data holistically," he said."It probably did decrease what otherwise would have been much more shootings."
He additionally made a clear delineation between types of shootings."There's a very big difference between criminal behavior, your gang-related shootings at school and these sort of Columbine-style, dramatic mass shootings," Crenshaw said.
