BRIAN KILMEADE {CO-HOST): Here to discuss is the only firearms manufacturer in Congress, a true expert on the matter. And the man whose unit played a key role in taking down Saddam Hussein. He is Oklahoma Congressman Steve Russell. Congressman, are you okay with this movement on these devices to ban them, make them illegal?
[...]
STEVE RUSSELL: One of the ideas that I'm promoting is to form a task force with experts where we can work on the issue with people that are actually qualified, that know the laws, that know the issues. I have combat experience. I'm a firearms manufacturer. I know 18th U.S. Code all of these things.
And we have others that we can quietly work together rather than be polarized, go to our corners and shout at each other. And look, as far as devices that mechanically manipulate to go to full auto and some of that. We have to have all of those discussions. But going after the implements is not the solution. We have been successful in combating terror. We can be successful against combating mass murder. And to that point, the 1934 Firearms Control Act '68 and '86 revisions, did not ban full auto firearms but they did regulate them to protect the public from mass killings. Those laws have been wildly successful with virtually no crimes committed with those firearms.
KILMEADE: We'll see if there is something for 2017 or not but it shouldn't be emotional it should be analytical as to your point.
RUSSELL: Has to be deliberate, absolutely.
KILMEADE: Congressman Steve Russell, Thanks so much for your expertise, and you are indeed an expert.
