Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich spotted room for relaxed gun legislation in the hours after shootings that left at least 16 people dead and injured dozens more in Lewiston, Maine, on Wednesday.

Gingrich, in an appearance on Sean Hannity’s program, reacted to the “horrible” news before making a call to “really think through a better method of protecting people.”

“Frankly, in states that have conceal carry and other permits, constitutional carry permits, you have a much more rapid response to these kind of people who are crazy,” Gingrich told the Fox News host.

He continued, “We have to have a greater ability for our citizens to protect themselves because it’s clear that law enforcement comes in after the massacre. But law enforcement’s almost never there to stop the massacre.”

Gingrich’s comments arrived after a man opened fire at a restaurant and bowling alley in the Maine community.

Officials have identified Robert Card, 40, as a person of interest in the shootings. Card, a firearms instructor believed to be assigned to a U.S. Army Reserve training facility in Maine, was committed to a mental health facility over the summer and reported that he was “hearing voices and threats to shoot up” the military base.

Gingrich, who once argued for arming teachers in the wake of the Parkland school shooting that left 17 dead in 2018, later called for people to think of a “whole new strategy” and declared that you have to stop gunmen “as early as possible to minimize the loss of individual lives.”

There have been 565 mass shootings in America this year, according to Gun Violence Archive. Over 35,200 people have been killed this year in gun violence.
