Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) says it’s “ridiculous” to blame guns for the
Covenant School shooting that left three children and three adults dead in
Nashville earlier this week.

Ogles, whose congressional district includes the location of the school,
made the remark to Fox News’ Laura Ingraham on Friday after stating that
“the government is being weaponized” against the political right.

“This clearly is someone who was deeply troubled,” he said of the shooting
suspect, identified by police as Audrey Hale. Hale was fatally shot by
officers responding to the attack, bringing the total number of deaths to
seven.

“The idea that guns are the problem here is ridiculous. This individual
had mental illness and [was] a murderer,” Ogles said.

He also said that hundreds of demonstrators “rushed and stormed” into the
Tennessee State Capitol during a protest against gun violence Thursday.

Officials reported no arrests or property damage in the demonstration, The
Tennessean reported.

“If you were to use J6 as the model, every one of those people should be
incarcerated,” Ogles said on Fox News, referring to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot
at the U.S. Capitol in Washington.

Ogles’ remarks came after he facedbacklash for a resurfaced 2021 holiday
photo that showed his family holding firearms in front of a Christmas
tree. The congressman, who offered his “thoughts and prayers” in the wake
of this week’s shooting, has defended his family for exercising their
right to bear arms.
