Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) on Sunday said the slew of mass shootings in the U.S. should not be attributed to guns, instead pointing to the people who use them as the reason behind the shootings.
“It’s not about the guns, it’s about us,” Patrick told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on “This Week,” citing the influence of bullying and social media.
“Gun control, I believe, starts at home,” he continued. “Every person who owns a gun must be accountable for the guns at home.”
