New York City Mayor and 2020 Democratic presidential contender Bill de Blasio said that he would ban semi-automatic rifles if he were elected president, but that his bodyguards could keep their rifles.

De Blasio, who said this week he'd end his longshot bid unless he qualifies for the October debates, said during an appearance on Fox News that he’s not sure how he'd enact the ban.
