Rep. Chris Stewart says he always has been and always will be a strong supporter of the Second Amendment and a person’s “fundamental constitutional” right to legally own a firearm.
But, in a video posted Monday to the Utah Republican’s Facebook Page, Stewart said he felt heartbroken and angry over the evil displayed last weekend in the form of mass shootings in Texas and Ohio that left more than 30 people dead and dozens injured.
“For two years, I have supported legislation that would have taken weapons out of the hands of those who are mentally incompetent of dealing with them,” Stewart said.
