“If the only thing that comes out of this tragedy is we outlaw bump stocks and we raise the age of people who are allowed to buy an AR-15, that will be a failure,” Holder replied. “Because the reality of what we need to do, which I have always tried to do, is ban the sale of AR-15s, have universal background checks, and also take away the ability to buy these large magazines.”

“See, the problem is, is makes way too much f*cking sense for our elected officials to take care of that,” Hogg interjected.

Holder went on to talk about allowing the CDC to study the effects of gun violence, saying,”That’s another thing that needs to be done.”

Additionally, Holder criticized Republican lawmakers for limitations they have put on the ATF for maintaining records on gun purchases.
