The floodwaters came in fast because of the speed of the storm and they went out fast. so theres not much left going on there in mobile alabama, most people are getting their power back. no injuries or deaths from hurricane nate. it was quite the saturday night. now back to. >> molly: thank you. we appreciate it. right now the debate on gun control. it is raging as lawmakers find common ground on pompous stocks. that could increase the firepower of a semi automatic weapon. >> we dont believe ban...

A gun show that was supposed to take place many las vegas this weekend was cancelled in light of last sundays mass shooting. but a gun show in reno, nevada, roughly 400 miles away, is taking place as planned. cnn correspondent dan simon joins us now from reno. so, dan, has there been any reaction from people there about having a gun show so soon after 58 people lost their lives in that same state? >> reporter: well, hi, fred. there were some local residents who thought the optics did not look go...

Have courage. be unafraid. do your job. bring gun control legislation to a vote. we need it. we need it now. after a gunman opened fire on a crowd in las vegas killing 58 and injuring more than 500, democrats in congress are again attempting to buck the gops inaction on gun control and push through legislation that would ban bump stocks, the accessory that allowed the gunman to fire on that crowd at nearly the rate of a machine gun. on friday i spoke to congressman john lewis about that and mo...

Weapons that there is a problem and it is not just democrats saying that. you have republicans on board and saying the nra saying they would support more legislation on this type of device. >> and it seems here, dr. jason, johnson, as you look at this that both sides are coming together, at least thats what were hearing so far, against bump fire stocks. they are going to do something. although, the calendar is a little bit missing on in terms of when they might vote on it. do you think they will...

Excuse me, was injured in gunfire. but on closer examination there are some reasons that these bump stocks make sense as an area where the nra might be willing to put the camels nose into the tent, as they say. one is that as your correspondent was saying, theyre very little used. most members of congress had not heard of these. theyre not a widely used accessory among gun unthese see as. they do not account for a lot of revenue for industry, which is an increasingly powerful part of the nra boa...

Regulation, the nra seems to maybe be giving up a narrow sliver of ground, perhaps? >> right. so the challenge now becomes how much muscle, if any, does the nra actually put behind the message that was brought last night. are they going to do any work behind the scenes to encourage federal regulators to crackdown on the bump stocks. or are they just saying this to sort of deflect some of the criticism they always receive in the wake of the shootings. the jury is out if theres anything. >> the ke...

Theyre very little used. most members of congress had not heard of these. theyre not a widely used accessory among gun thuists. they do not account for a lot of re new for industry, which is an increasingly powerful part of the nra board. and as well this is something that can potentially be done by regulation as opposed to legislation. there is not a legislative fight. theres not a vote potentially. its just done by the administration. and for those reasons this could be a relatively step for t...

You if you needed him to. she was a hard-working supermom. four children, including a six week old baby. just a few of these 58 innocent lives senselessly slaughtered that day. and now some people are looking for answers what could have prevented this gunman from taking so many lives. if anything. republican office holders typically resist measures to further regulate any gun ownership, but apparently hearing the rapid fire from mandalay bay and seeing how this was carried out has many republi...

Make adjustments and amendments to the law related to machine guns. >> im trying to figure out the history. did the a tmttf approve the sal these? >> yes. it approved the use and sale of these items specifically because of the legal language within the law. the this particular accessory, because of the technical nature of the law does not fit within the definition of a machine gun. >> right. but i mean wasnt that -- how did the atf let that slip by? why would they approve the sale of something l...
