In an interview with ABC Channel 12 in Flint, Michigan, Paul Ryan so strongly objected to a question about guns and tax cuts.

It all began when the reporter asked Ryan if we had a gun problem. Ryan answered, ”this country has a crime problem.”

Reporter: ”Not a gun problem?”

Ryan: ”No, if you take a look at the gun laws we have…I don’t even think President Obama is proposing more gun laws. We have good strong gun laws. We have to make sure we enforce our laws. We have lots of laws that aren’t being properly enforced. We need to make sure we enforce these laws. But the best thing to help prevent violent crime in the inner cities is to bring opportunity in the inner cities, is to help people get out of poverty in the inner cities, is to help teach people good discipline, good character. That is civil society. That’s what charities, and civic groups, and churches do to help one another make sure that they can realize the value in one another.”
