Trump Ally Jon Voight Calls for 'Proper Qualifications for Gun Ownership'



Veteran actor and longtime GOP supporter Jon Voight broke with party lines on Saturday, insisting on "proper qualifications" for gun ownership following Tuesday's deadly mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.

"[We must] ensure that we never see this horror again in our lifetime," Voight, a vocal and avid supporter of former President Donald Trump, said in his video statement, which has been viewed over 92,000 times on social media as of Saturday morning. "We must identify every individual for their credentials for their mental capacity to bear arms. There should be proper qualifications for gun ownership. Proper testing. One should only own a gun if they're qualified and schooled."

Voight also offered condolences to the families of the 19 students that were killed in the shooting. Two teachers also died during Tuesday's attack.
