Rick Scott: Assault weapons ban 'a nonstarter in Congress'

Florida Republican Sen. Rick Scott on Sunday insisted that he's focused on addressing mental illness to combat the rise in gun violence in the United States rather than push for an assault weapons ban like many of his Democratic counterparts.

"Why don't we look at the people that have the problems and look at taking all their weapons away from them?" Scott asked on CNN's State of the Union.

Scott was asked why "weapons of war" should still be available for purchase in the country. When he responded that mental illness was his primary focus instead of an assault weapons ban, CNN's Dana Bash interjected, asking, "Why not do both?"

"We've got to figure out how we get guns away from mentally ill people who want to harm others or themselves," Scott said on Meet the Press.

"An assault weapons ban is a nonstarter in this Congress?" Bash directly asked Scott at the end of the interview.

"No, I'm focused on the people that have problems," Scott responded.
