Chris Hayes, host of MSNBC’s new 8pm weeknight program, weighed in on assault weapons ban being dropped from the baseline gun control bill this week on Capitol Hill in an interview with Alex Witt Sunday.
“There continues to be a profound asymmetry in American politics on the issue of guns, in which on one side people who want to have an unfettered direct relationship with guns that is not regulated or mediated by the government. Those people care desperately and deeply about that issue. There are a lot of them, and they really care. And on the other side of the issue, people who want to see gun safety measures, there are a lot of them but it’s a very diffuse opinion.”
Hayes said it’s a classic example of preference versus intensity.
