About bump stocks or anything else, look, the nra made their position on bump stocks incredibly clear. >> they want them banned? >> that doesnt have anything to do with parkland. >> the nra is not going to call for anything to be banned. theyre calling for the atf to do their job. thats what theyre supposed to do. thats what attorney general jeff sessions has called for as well. remember, this was immediately right after the las vegas tragedy. this is one of the things the nra called for. >> dan...

Possession. >> great point. i want to ask you about a couple other points. is it true that the nra will not consider raising the minimum age of purchasing a rifle? >> yes, thats true. >> and why not? >> well, because raising -- first off, let me put it like this, the murderer in sutherland springs stopped by an nra member was 27 years old. raising the age is not going to solve psychosis. and i also look at it like this, when i lived on my own, alisyn, i was 20 years old. i did not live at home w...
