Kelly said that instead of focusing on guns, people should "figure out what made this person crack." She addded, "but we go through this every time, we try to figure out the issues that led to this person to do it or that person to do it, and then we change nothing. Okay?"

In the end, she said, "We change nothing." Kelly Further added, "make it easier to civilly commit people" to institutions, particularly those who are "showing signs, red flags, that they may be the next school shooter."

Another user wrote, "Megyn Kelly is clearly desperate to be relevant again I hope that parents of The Covenant School in Nashville grant her wish And put a stop to her career once and for all Then, perhaps, she'll learn what it means to have empathy, or humility Although I doubt it."

The fourth user wrote, "Megan is just another Boebert, Greene or Blackburn .....she packs a lot of stupid in the teeny brain of hers!!"
