Thom Tillis Republican
“The mental health data clearly shows our work has saved lives by stopping people from buying guns to harm themselves.”
“You take a look at the--I spend a lot of time and focus on behavioral health, Senator Cornyn, and the data is compelling. There is no question in my mind--just the sheer number here--there is no question in my mind that we saved the life of somebody who is buying a gun for that purpose. There is no doubt in my mind the numbers stipulate that.”
