A Republican congressman claimed Thursday that lives would have been saved if teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., were armed.
“If the principal in Sandy Hook had been running, as she so heroically did, [if] she got a gun in her hands … there would have been people saved,” said Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, on the House floor in a speech about proposed gun restrictions in light of the recent Orlando shootings.
