We shouldn\u2019t have those [guns].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though Wolf incorporates all semi-automatic firearms in his answer to Richert\u2019s question (the Squirrel Hill murderer used handguns and a rifle), he walked back his stance later that day in a tweet that only mentioned \u201csemi-automatic rifles.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">It\u2019s time for Pennsylvania to have a conversation about restricting semi-automatic rifles.
