Days after one of the most deadly school shootings in U.S. history, there are some signs that the National Rifle Association’s stranglehold on the Republican party may be loosening slightly. Ohio Governor John Kasich (R), who touted an ‘A’ NRA rating during his unsuccessful 2016 presidential campaign, called for “commonsense gun control” and questioned the need for semi-automatic weapons during an appearance on CNN Sunday morning.
Former Rep. David Jolly, a Republican from Florida who ran with the NRA’s support and longtime GOP donor Al Hoffman Jr. have also echoed those calls.
On CNN Sunday morning, Kasich said he asked a gun-collector friend of his if his Second Amendment rights would be eroded if he couldn’t buy a “god darn AR-15.”
“These are the things that have to be looked at and action has to happen before, and look, your never going to fix all of this, but common sense gun laws make sense,” Kasich said.
