So \u2013<\/p>\n<p>CHUCK TODD: \u00a0Me too. Me included. I understand. Right \u2013<\/p>\n<p>STEVE SCALISE: Now we\u2019re finding out about it. But again, there are people that want to rush to judgment. They&#8217;ve got a bill written already. And I mean, look, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi already said she wants it to be a slippery slope. She doesn&#8217;t want to stop at bump stocks. They want to go out and limit the rights of gun owners. And so I do think it&#8217;s a little bit early for people to say they know what to do to fix this problem. I know there are people that are asking the A.T.F. to go back and review their 2010 decision to authorize it \u2013<\/p>\n<p>CHUCK TODD:<\/p>\n<p>Do you think they should?<\/p>\n<p>STEVE SCALISE:<\/p>\n<p>And I think they should, and they are. You know, you&#8217;ve seen it \u2013<\/p>\n<p>CHUCK TODD:<\/p>\n<p>But you&#8217;re not ready to codify it in the law?<\/p>\n<p>STEVE SCALISE:<\/p>\n<p>Well, again, I mean, a week ago most people didn&#8217;t know, a few people, but most people didn&#8217;t know what a bump stock was. So to think that we&#8217;re now all experts and know how to write some, you know, panacea law, it&#8217;s fallacy. Let&#8217;s focus on the facts. Let&#8217;s get the facts and let&#8217;s go focus on some of the problems.
