So obviously this is a really tough tragedy to deal with, but I just wanted to talk to you about your perspective from a sheriff's standpoint with gun control and ask you how much of your call for gun control is rooted in your actual want for gun control as a sheriff and how much is driven by your own political ideology as a registered Democrat.
I don't have any button political ideologies.
I just do what's right for the community.
I don't worry about doing things to get re-elected or elected.
I just do what is right and safe for the people who want to go in the first place.
I'm for sensible gun control.
I understand it's possible.
There's more than one aspect, more than one discipline and dimension that's going to have to come into place for us to be a safe society.
We have to have Baker Act rules extended.
Police officers need to be able to take people into custody who post certain things for evaluation.
And it's just a whole plethora of things.
Why do you think there's not a lot of emphasis in the community being placed on the FBI dropping the ball?
Because I'm finding that a lot of the rhetoric, especially among community members, is very anti-Trump when really I think that law enforcement should be holding the FBI more accountable.
Would you agree or disagree?
I disagree.
This is the only person accountable for this killing is the detestable, cowardly murderer.
He is solely responsible for this horrific act.
He took away 17 lives of people who should be playing and are being in this park today.
There are things that from a communicative standpoint we'll look into.
All the agencies that might have been in contact with the killer are looking to see what we did right, what we did wrong.
Sole killings, these killings, these horrific, detestable acts are all the responsible to be killed.
Thank you.
All right.
Just one follow-up, Sheriff.
You did say that you don't have a political etiology, but there are numerous pictures of you.
They're featured with W. Wasserman Schultz, Hillary Clinton.
