Let me just say, Ron DeSantis is a coward. If he will not stand up for our children and protect our children with actual thoughtful ideas -- but instead he's pandering to the gun lobby today in Georgia. I mean, that is the definition of cowardice. And so, Democrat or Republican, there has to be some ground whereby we can ensure that people who do not need guns cannot get them and slaughter our babies. That should not be something that happens in this country with such great frequency. Ron DeSantis, though, is having another problem, which is that he's going to -- he's dipping in the polls -- he's having that problem of running up against -- as Adam knows, what is Donald Trump's party -- and running up against a Donald Trump, who is a brutal campaigner. And so he's trying to do these things to garner attention, but what it's also showing us is he doesn't have the courage to be President of the United States because he's now at a gun lobby -- at a gun show just a few days after babies were killed.

CAMPBELL BROWN: I want to get your thoughts on this, Adam, because you have been a defender of gun rights, but you did say last year that you would be open to an AR-15 ban, and I'm wondering: How your views evolved even more since all of these shootings involving these assault-style rifles and all of these babies in school being killed?
