Sen. Kennedy Grills AG Garland on Gun Control, Hunter Biden\">showdown<\/a>, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) didn&#8217;t hold back as he peppered Attorney General Merrick Garland with a barrage of questions on everything from the Justice Department&#8217;s budget needs to gun control, the border crisis, and the sticky issue of Hunter Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kennedy kicked things off with a zinger about the DOJ&#8217;s never-ending budget appetite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;To your knowledge in the past, let&#8217;s say 40 years, has the Department of Justice ever come before Congress and said, uh, we don&#8217;t need anymore, we&#8217;re going to make it with what we&#8217;ve got, in light of the fiscal circumstances in the country,&#8221; Kennedy asked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Garland, unable to recall such an instance, admitted it&#8217;d be &#8220;surprising&#8221; and &#8220;not responsible&#8221; for the department to request less funding, given the &#8220;increasing threats&#8221; they face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The conversation then took a sharp turn to gun control. The Senator probed whether Garland, a vocal gun-control advocate, owned a gun himself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Garland revealed he did not own a gun despite having fired one &#8220;many times&#8221; and confirmed he enjoys 24-hour security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-also-10-shots-in-under-10-seconds-bolt-action-strasser-rs-700-video\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/strasser-rs-700-video-review-and-speed-test\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"fireworks-sen-kennedy-grills-ag-garland-on-gun-control-hunter-biden\" title=\"Fireworks!
