EXCERPT:
LIGHTFOOT: "Listen, the crime rate has gone down. You heard the numbers of decreases in homicides and shootings and other violent crimes that have gone down and have been going down for the last four years. We can‘t ignore that because the president is making up his own facts. And we also know there are red cities in red states that have higher per capita rates of gun violence and other violent crime that we‘re not hearing coming out of the president‘s mouth as a places where he really wants to go. So I just don‘t — we will not play this game that this is about violent crime. What do communities need? We need to stop the flow of illegal guns. Mayor Johnson was 100% right about that. You don‘t gut the ATF, which is, by the way, really small to begin with.”
