Will Hurd: 30 Million Kids in America Are Afraid To Go to School Because They Think They’re Going to Get Shot

EXCERPT:

HURD: "And look, I’m the only Republican candidate that’s willing to talk about gun violence and how we address it. And the stat that we don’t hear enough: half of our teenagers in the United States of America, it’s about 25, 30 million kids, are afraid to go to school because they think they’re gonna get shot. And that’s just — that's just — that's nuts. And so how do you build consensus on something that is politically troubling? It starts with engaging people up front. You know, Congress and the executive branch the last 20 years, I always say they’ve negotiated through subtraction. 'Here are the hundred things I wanna get passed in this bill.' And the other side’s like, 'Heck no.' And then you fight back and forth and you whittle those 100 things down to seven."
