JUAN WILLIAMS (CO-HOST): [Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke] said it, right there -- “You know what? If you have a gun that's made for the battlefield, you shouldn't have it in your home," and he explained his position. And I think that's not only you saw the response from the audience, Dana, the other people on stage all said “Beto, you did a great job."
JESSE WATTERS (CO-HOST): So, you think that people going door to door taking legally purchased weapons is a good idea?
WILLIAMS: No, no, no. I think -- look, that's fear mongering, talking about “Oh, you got to go door to door" --
WATTERS: Because that's actually going to cause more violence.
...
WATTERS: This is going to cost more lives than mass shootings would cost.
WILLIAMS: No, come on --
WATTERS: You're kidding me? You are going to go to people and say, “Hey, hand it over, give it the hell to me?"
