Gayle King to 2020 Dem: Should We ‘Take Notes’ From New Zealand on Guns?

[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS This Morning co-host and Democratic donor Gayle King wondered on Friday if Americans should “take notes” from New Zealand’s gun control push. She pressed 2020 Democratic presidential candidate John Hickenlooper if taking away guns would be a “priority” for the liberal former Colorado governor. Guest co-host David Begnaud touted Hickenlooper’s hip appeal to millennials. On guns, King pushed an anti-Second Amendment agenda: “Just six days after the deadliest mass shooting, [New Zealand is] already moving to change the laws with little resistance there. When you look at that, do you think we need to take notes? Or is there something we can learn from that?” She followed up, wondering, “Would gun control be a top priority for your administration?”
