House Minority Whip Steve Scalise said Friday on "America's Newsroom" that he doubts proposed "red flag" laws or stricter background checks would have prevented the 2017 attack that left him gravely wounded on a Virginia baseball field.
The Louisiana Republican was specifically asked by anchor Bill Hemmer whether a "particular law could have prevented" the attack by James Hodgkinson, who supported Sen. Bernie Sanders and specifically targeted the Republican House members as they practiced for the Congressional Baseball Game.
Hodgkinson had reportedly had run-ins with law enforcement but was never convicted of a crime, so he was able to legally purchase the guns he used in the attack.

"He just kind of went off the grid. What are you gonna do about that? What law are you gonna pass that's gonna address that? In the end, all you end up doing is seeing more and more attempts to take away rights from law-abiding citizens," Scalise said, arguing that proposals from House Democrats are geared toward taking guns from Americans.
"Many of these people who have pushed this gun control legislation have said they have a deeper intention ... that you should only have a gun if you're in the military," said Scalise, doubting that a new "red-flag" law could have identified his attacker.
