EXCERPT:

HARLOW: “You talked about school security, I would just note there were armed guards at both Parkland and Uvalde, and still this happen. I wonder if you -- if you become the Republican nominee and if you were to be elected president would you sign a national law raising the age to purchase an AR-15 to 21? Because you yourself floated the idea last year?”0
HUTCHINSON: “I think that -- I mean, if Congress came into the consensus on that, that's something that can be looked at. And so I'm open to that. Yes.”
