Host Tish Durkin schools MAGA Congressman Tim “We’re not gonna fix this” Burchett — and, by extension, the NRA-bound GOP — on the facts about mass shootings.

She also questions the wisdom of citing the Oklahoma City truck bomb as an argument against regulating firearms (the chemical component used by Timothy McVeigh is now heavily regulated, and McVeigh didn’t get his start by fixating on fertilizer).
