Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio) said Tuesday he supports banning military-style weapons and implementing "red flag laws" in the wake of two mass shootings, including one in his own state, that took 31 lives over the weekend.
The Ohio Republican said while he’s a strong supporter of Second Amendment rights, he believes action needs to be taken to prevent “mentally unstable people from terrorizing our communities†with assault weapons.
“I will support legislation that prevents the sale of military style weapons to civilians, a magazine limit, and red flag legislation. The carnage these military style weapons are able to produce when available to the wrong people is intolerable,†he said in a statement.
