Democrats propose punitive gun control measures that 'won't work' in marathon hearing: Massie

Kentucky GOP Rep. Thomas Massie sounded off on 'The Ingraham Angle' Thursday following a 10-hour markup debate on a series of leftist gun control proposals.

Democrats' gun control measures won't do anything to prevent school shootings, but they will likely succeed in restricting the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., said Thursday on "The Ingraham Angle."

LAURA INGRAHAM: Congressman, which part of tonight's speech did you find most offensive? 

REP. THOMAS MASSIE: Basically, all of it. I mean, the red flag laws are doing away with due process in this country.

We had a hearing today that lasted 10 hours, wherein the Democrats in the House are going to put a smorgasbord of things that don't work in front of senators in the Senate and try to get some of the weak-kneed Republicans to bite on that.

INGRAHAM: What… anti-gun measures would perhaps pass in the Senate if you had to predict right now — the "raising the age" for ARs?

MASSIE: Maybe raising the age not just for ARs, but any semi-automatic shotgun or rifle — that has the biggest chance. But the scariest one that they proposed today was that you have to store your firearms in a way that's federally approved and if you don't, they can come in and seize them.
