CNN's Alisyn Camerota touted Hillary Clinton's new gun control proposals during an interview of former Governor Mike Huckabee on the 5 October 2015 edition of New Day. Camerota pointed out Mrs. Clinton's "tighten the gun show Internet sales loophole" idea, and asserted, "Isn't that one a no-brainer?" She then asked, "Shouldn't there be universal background checks, and people not be able to buy guns online? Are you comfortable with that suggestion of hers?"
The anchor also attempted to argue against the pro-gun rights talking point that an armed individual could have stopped the mass murderer's rampage by citing how there was a veteran with a concealed-carry license who was "quite a distance away," in his words: "If he had drawn his gun and raced to the scene, he was afraid that he would have been shot by the SWAT team. You know, it doesn't always work that way – to think that...more guns would have stopped this crazed gunman."
