Megyn Kelly knows nothing will change with gun violence in the United States after Wednesday’s mass shooting at a Minnesota church, but was quick to criticize Democrats for using the event to “spiral” to a debate about gun regulation.
On Wednesday’s episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show,” the host walked through the mass shooting during a Catholic Mass at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis. She lamented that nothing will change and these shootings will continue to occur in the U.S.
“I’ll tell you right now, nothing’s going to change,” Kelly said. “Absolutely nothing is going to change. We had 20 dead first graders at Sandy Hook, nothing changed. If you don’t change after 20 dead first graders, you don’t change. And I understand it, because we’re a free country, and we can’t protect against any and all threats out there, but we can fortify the areas where our most vulnerable are, and that means the schools, whether it’s the school itself or the adjacent church where they worship, because it’s a Catholic school, that we actually can do. “
She continued: “But you know as well as I do, what we’re about to do is spiral into a debate about guns. That’s where the media and the left will take this. That’s what they do every time. And my own belief is that’s exactly why nothing will change.”

“I have been fully briefed on the tragic shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota,” President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social. “The FBI quickly responded and they are on the scene. The White House will continue to monitor this terrible situation. Please join me in praying for everyone involved!”
