Romney Says No to New Gun Laws
"I happen to believe that this is not a matter of the weapon that is used, it's a matter of the individuals and the choices these people make... ."
Reacting to a shooting that left three dead and several wounded near Texas A & M University -- the latest in a string of multiple shootings across the nation this summer-- Mitt Romney on Monday ruled out new gun laws and said the nation must collectively figure out how to prevent such tragedies.
"Clearly there's going to have to be consideration given to how it is these tragedies could be prevented," he told reporters on the tarmac at Miami's airport. "I don't have the answer for you today, but it's something I'm going to give thought to and I'm sure a lot of other people in the country will do the same."
