Jon Voight, an outspoken conservative actor, shared his thought on stricter gun measures following the mass shooting at an elementary school in Texas.

In a video, Voight explained, “We must identify every individual for their credentials, for their mental capacity to bear arms.”

He continued, “There should be proper qualifications for gun ownership and proper testing. One should only own a gun if they’re qualified and schooled.”

Voight said he stands with “all,” adding, “I stand for freedom of each soul’s truths. I stand for God’s truths. I stand for one to be condemned for evil doings and that they must pay a price.”

He went on, “May God watch over all and bring comfort for this loss, which may never heal for each child was so precious a gift.”

Additionally, Voight called for “proper testing” for owners of firearms.

According to Voight, “It’s not about left, right, guns, no guns. This is about brains that are dysfunctioning. This is mental.”

The actor added, “This is not about healthy human beings serving the country with arms to bear or even the right of this Constitution for bearing arms.”

Voight has been known for his support of former President Donald Trump.

The former president spoke at a National Rifle Association convention over the weekend.

“We all know they want total gun confiscation, know that this would be a first step,” Trump said.

He added, “Once they get the first step, they’ll take the second step, the third, the fourth, and then you’ll have a whole different look at the Second Amendment.”

During the conference, a moment of silence was held for the 19 children and two adults killed earlier this week.

Others appeared to shift the blame to “the elites,” including Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).

“The elites who dominate our culture tell us that firearms lie at the root of the problem,” Cruz said.

He continued, “It’s far easier to slander one’s political adversaries and to demand that responsible citizens forfeit their constitutional rights than it is to examine the cultural sickness, giving birth to unspeakable acts of evil.”
