Kenney said it is examples such as a gun store selling ammunition to a felon who goes on to commit a murder that is why stronger gun control is needed in the state.

"If you really claim to 'Back the Blue,' like I hear a lot of people making that statement and waving that flag, you should be in favor of gun control because we have three people at hospital this morning and could've been killed as the result of someone not backing the Blue,'" Kenney said.

Kenney went on to say if the reporter was looking for a conflict between him and the District Attorney's office, he wasn't going to criticize Krasner because it was in no one's best interest.
