Democratic Vice-Presidential nominee Tim Kaine and Republican Vice-Presidential nominee Mike Pence during debate at Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia. KAINE: I'm a gun-owner. I'm a strong Second Amendment supporter. But I've got a lot of scar tissue because when I was governor of Virginia there was a horrible shooting at Virginia Tech and we learned that through that painful situation that gaps in the background record check system should have been closed and it could have prevented that crime and so we're going to work to do things like close background record checks. And if we do we won't have the tragedies that we did. One of those killed at Virginia Tech was a guy named Liviu Librescu. He was a 70-plus-year-old Romanian Holocaust survivor. He had survived the Holocaust. Then he survived the Soviet Union takeover of his country. But then he was a visiting professor at Virginia Tech and he couldn't survive the scourge of gun violence. We can support the Second Amendment and do things like background record checks and make us safer and that will make police safer too.
