Russell: They can also make a bomb pretty easily. So what? They can also get knives and stab you. Whaddaya gonna do about that? They can also get cars and run you over. Whaddaya gonna do about that?

Wells: They didn’t kill the people in San Bernardino with cars.

He missed an opportunity with the comment about terrorists running people over: they would do more of that if other means weren't available, which highlights that terrorists aren't fixated (like gun control nuts are) on the means, but the result. There are endless ways to cause death, and you can never eliminate enough without straight-jacketing the people.
