    You could ban all guns in America, and a criminal can still get a gun....obviously!
  • He had an agenda and wanted to attack the 2A rights. She didn't feed into it. The gun isn't the issue. Its people with bad intentions.
  • Who the hell voted this guy in? Trying to turn a SS failure into a rebuke of the 2A is quite a stretch.
  • @Deltaaaaaaaaa
    Love how this guy doesn’t actually care about what happened. He’s just trying to use this as a platform to get rid of firearms for law abiding citizens.
  • @shockman8014
    She should be sued for every penny in her pocket, in her bank, and in her retirement. The fact that she wants to stay after this shows how evil and corrupt she is.
  • @stevemt3238
    She should be put in jail for quiet solitude and contemplation.
  • @helenxhe
    She is dodging every single question.
  • @ihlbit1
    Did anyone really expect her to give actual answers? Same thing every other head of an agency does.
  • @tomc.2808
    Its just getting worse and worse 👎
  • @shockman8014
    No one in any position should allow this SS to be around them without having their own security protecting them from these fools.
  • @KickItToTheKing
    It’s a rarity here. For different reasons though, BOTH SIDES HATED THIS WOMAN TODAY. Entertaining to see
  • @tlee656
    That was NOT a simple question to answer. The accessibility to get guns makes her job harder, but the way he worded it, it is confusing as hell. The Secret Service's access to these same guns makes their ability to perform their jobs easier.
  • @pls1861
    This guy sounds nuts. "IT'S THE GUNS, ISN'T IT?! JUST SAY IT'S DA GUNNNNNNNNS!!!"
  • @jamiebeam74
    Congress should hold her in contempt for the bullshit testimony she gave out today, and start throwing out conspiracy charges. Do not give that crook time to destroy evidence and/or fabricate a bullshit case to cover her up her incompetence. A third party should investigate in her place to avoid any tampering
  • Politicians are more dangers than any gun. Dude just answer for her with the answer you want the public to hear and get on with the circus.
