Representative Nancy Mace said gun violence has become a 'problem for Republicans' following recent mass s in Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabama.
Mace, who represents a competitive congressional district that includes the suburbs of Charleston, South Carolina, addressed this matter onRepresentative Nancy Mace, a South Carolina Republican, speaks to reporters at the U.S. Capitol on January 27. During a Fox News Sunday appearance, Mace was pressed on the GOP's stance on guns as the party faces new pressure following a wave of recent mass shootings.
Mace acknowledged that gun safety has become a difficult topic for the GOP, criticizing her party for their"silence" on the issue. While she noted she remains a"constitutional conservative," she called on her party to enact"common sense" policies to lessen gun violence, including an Amber Alert-style notification of mass shootings, stronger background checks for those who want to purchase guns, and"hardening" public spaces.
"We want to bury our hands in the sand, but guess what—it's not going away," the GOP lawmaker added."And I see it. I'm in a very purple district, even though I'm in South Carolina. It is an issue that continues to be a problem for Republicans, and we've not learned anything from the midterm elections if we're going to sit here on our hands silently not offering any type of solution to reduce gun violence in our country, and it's not about gun control.
