"Brennan noted during the interview, 'So the alleged shooter, as we just said, had multiple weapons in his possession. Here in the District of Columbia, open carry is not permitted.'"
"Blanche replied, 'And look, this isn't about, in my mind, changing the law or making the laws more restrictive around possession of firearms. It appears he purchased these firearms over the past couple of years.'"
"Brennan pressed further, 'I'm asking about crossing state lines with that firearm and arriving in the capital. If you try to fly, you do have to have your firearms declared in some way.'"
The gunman who attacked the White House Correspondents' Dinner was confirmed to be targeting Trump administration officials. Margaret Brennan questioned Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch about the implications of weak gun laws and how the shooter managed to travel with multiple weapons from California to Washington, D.C. Blanch stated that the focus should not be on changing laws regarding firearm possession but rather on law enforcement's role in handling such incidents. The discussion highlighted the differences in regulations for traveling with firearms by train versus by air.
