Watch: Gingrich Talks Up Concealed Carry in Reaction to Maine Shooting – ‘Have to Stop Them As Early as Possible’

Former House Speaker 👤Newt Gingrich called for laws allowing more Americans to carry firearms in order to prevent mass shooters from maximizing causalities.

Gingrich joined 📺Fox News host 📺Sean Hannity on Thursday on the heels of two deadly shootings in Lewiston, 🦞Maine.

Police say 40-year-old Robert Card entered a bowling alley and later a restaurant where he massacred 18 people and wounded 13 others.

When asked about the slayings, Gingrich said more relaxed gun laws give people a better chance at defending themselves.

“I think that we’re going to have to really think through a better method of protecting people. Frankly, in states that have concealed carry and other permits … you have a much more rapid response to these kind of people who are crazy,” he said.

Gingrich said the same principle applied to the Oct. 7 slaughter of Israeli civilians who were targeted by Hamas terrorists.
