4:31Now Playing"Rep. Louie Gohmert, Texas Republican, said Sunday he wished Dawn Hochsprung, the principal of Sandy Hook Elementary School, who was shot as she lunged at gunman Adam Lanza, had had access to a rifle on Friday as the deadly shootings were occurring in Newtown, Conn.
"Hearing the heroic stories of the principal, lunging, trying to protect ... I wish to God she had had an M-4 [carbine rifle] in her office locked up so when she heard gunfire, she pulls it out and she didn't have to lunge heroically with nothing in her hands, but she takes him out, takes his head off before he kills those precious kids," Mr. Gohmert said on "Fox News Sunday."*
Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert is at it again, arguing that if the principal was armed, she could have stopped the mass shooting in Sandy Hook Elementary. Cenk Uygur explains how many armed individuals stopped dangerous situations with their guns vs. how many gun massacres have happened in the United States.
