"I certainly don't think that's the right direction to go because what we're talking about is people that are not going to follow laws," Paxton announced throughout an appearance on Newsmax's "The Chris Salcedo Show." "They're not going to follow murder laws, they're not going to follow gun laws. They will find ways to get guns."
