[See NewsBusters for more.] Reacting to President Biden's statement on the mass shooting that occurred in Boulder, Colorado, CNN Newsroom host Brianna Keilar declared on Tuesday that when it comes to passing gun control, there can be no grace period, because emotion is needed to pass such laws.

Addressing network political director David Chalian, Keilar asserted, "You know, one of the lessons that came out of that Sandy Hook period, David, was that one of the lessons that came from folks who just wanted even some very moderate gun safety laws was that there can't be a grace period after something like that happens because the emotional reaction of it dulls rather quickly. We've seen that, a country that moves on from this."
