CLAIM: During a Friday appearance on MSNBC, Al Sharpton bemoaned the inability to secure more gun control and claimed there would be no mass killings without “mass instruments.”
VERDICT: False.
Breitbart News reported Sharpton suggested gun control can be pursued under the banner of “civil rights.”
He went on to say that whether gun control is pursued as a civil right or “just on guns, people cannot do mass killings unless they have mass instruments.”
