Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Tuesday he doesn't believe Congress has much power to stop school shootings.
The Lexington Herald-Leader reported that McConnell addressed the issue with a group of community leaders in Danville, Ky., where he said the federal government can't do much besides appropriate funds.
“You would think, given how much it takes to get on an American plane or given how much it takes to get into courthouses, that this might be something that we could achieve, but I don’t think we could do that from Washington. I think it’s basically a local decision,†McConnell said.
