Mayor de Blasio said that even if someone has a clean background, a gun is not necessary to protect their home and family.
New York Mayor and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Bill de Blasio did a one-on-one interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity on Wednesday night. When pressed about gun control, de Blasio was reluctant to say if he believed if someone who passed a background check should legally be able to own a gun.
Hannity asked the mayor if someone who had no criminal background—or any other characteristics that would throw up a flag during a background check—should be denied the right to own a gun to defend themselves. The mayor seemed to dance around the question. Hannity said that he himself has to go through background checks to own guns, and kept pushing the mayor to see if the laws would be become even tougher.
Hannity kept trying to get de Blasio to answer whether or not law-abiding citizens should have access to guns for protection—similar to politicians and celebrities having armed guards for protection—in which the governor never gave a yes or no answer. Instead, he said the NYPD was sufficient.
