Checking Crist's gun claim

MONITOR FOR YOU HERE IN THE

LIVE CENTER AS IT CONTINUES ITS

TECHNOLOGY RELIES ON THAT TO

THOSE CHARGES. THANKS, MARK

FLORIDA GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS

IS EXPECTED TO RUN FOR

PRESIDENT IN 2020 FOR HIS

DEMOCRATIC OPPONENT IN THIS

YEAR'S GUBERNATORIAL ELECTION

SAYS DESANTIS OPPOSES

BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR ALL GUN

BUYERS.

>> PULSE PAYCHECKS THAT CLAIM

FOR POLITIFACT.

THIS REPUBLICAN RON DESANTIS

WANT TO GET RID OF BACKGROUND

CHECKS EVEN FOR VIOLENT

CRIMINALS. THAT'S WHAT DEMOCRAT

CHARLIE CRIST SAID. ONE OF HIS

RECENT CAMPAIGN ADS HE'S

RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR AGAINST

DESANTIS THIS YEAR. HIS LATEST

AD SAYS THIS.

>> THINK ABOUT WHAT'S AT STAKE

IN FLORIDA. GOVERNOR RON

DESANTIS, BILLY SCHOOLCHILDREN.

HE WANTS TO OUTLAW ABORTION

EVEN FOR VICTIMS OF RAPE AND

INCEST. HE OPPOSES ANY

BACKGROUND CHECKS ON GUN, EVEN

FOR VIOLENT CRIMINALS.

DESANTIS DID SIGN A LAW THAT

BANS ABORTION AFTER 15 WEEKS OF

PREGNANCY. AND IT DOES NOT

INCLUDE.

>> EXEMPTIONS FOR RAPE, INCEST

OR HUMAN TRAFFICKING. BUT

THAT'S NOT THE PART OF THE AD

WE'RE CHECKING. CRIST SAID

DESANTIS OPPOSES BACKGROUND

CHECKS FOR GUN PURCHASES EVEN

FOR VIOLENT CRIMINALS. NOW

DESANTIS HAS SAID HE WANTS

FLORIDIANS TO BE ABLE TO BUY

GUNS WITHOUT NEEDING A PERMIT

STATE LAW CURRENTLY REQUIRES

PEOPLE TO GET A CONCEALED CARRY

LICENSE TO CARRY HIDDEN GUNS

IN PUBLIC. BUT THE SANTOS'S

PROPOSAL WOULD NOT CHANGE

FEDERAL LAW WHICH REQUIRES

LICENSED GUN SELLERS TO CHECK

BUYERS BACKGROUNDS. AND WE

FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF HIM

CALLING FOR MORE GUN RIGHTS

FOR CRIMINALS. IN FACT, AS

RECENTLY AS JUNE WHEN HE WAS

TALKING ABOUT THE NEED TO

REDUCE GUN VIOLENCE. HE

SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED THE NEED

TO KEEP GUNS OUT OF THE HANDS

OF CRIMINALS. AND THAT'S WHY

THAT RECENTLY, CHRIS, 10 IT.

>> MOSTLY FALSE.
