Cong. Adam Kinzinger says there’s deep public support for more restrictions on who can own a gun. He says the minimum age to buy a gun should be 21. And a person should have to pass a criminal background check.

Kinzinger says there’s a “gun fetish” in the U.S. His comments came after the shooting at a school in Texas. He was one of few conservatives to support a ban on bump stocks after a killer used a gun with one at a concert in Las Vegas.
