After two days ago, perhaps a reference to the listening session. >> we know the president loves this kind of environment and it did provide him a platform it tout the accomplishments he thinks will be productive for republicans running in the midterm later this year. if youre a republican running for office, you might be able to pick out snippets from that piece. i want to go back to the polarization that chris was alluding to. you have seen this real activism among democrats on the gun issue t...

Know. i think he wants to have a win. i think he would like it to be historic in some meaningful way that he did something that even barack obama couldnt do after newtown. i dont know if he knows what it is he wants to win on as it relates to guns, what he wants to find a way to compromise on and if hes willing to put his political capital in the house, much less the senate, on the line to do so. >> and kaitlyn, just like on the federal level, congress may do one thing, and there may be obstacle...

Something the nra likes and he goes further that be the nra in terms of what hes talking about. they typically talk about security guards, this idea of concealed weapons, all over schools, all across the country. not something they have even talked about in detail even though thats something they have supported and pushed in some ways. so, yeah, were seeing a president, we say he doesnt know where hes going to land on this, hes all over the place. but his core lines up in a conservative way. tha...

Sounding look a dealmaker, someone who wants to make a compromise, saw a chance here to make some history, to do something other presidents havent done. when you go to cpac and say things, like, if democrats win, theyre going to repeal the second amendment, which takes a two-thirds vote in the house and the senate and three-quarters vote of all of the state legislatures in the country, not happening, you polarize the debate to a point where the what you said the last 48 hours is meaningless. >> ...

>> molly: students from the high school in parkland, florida are in tallahassee pushing for gun control at the state capitol after 17 students, and teachers were killed. theyll pressure lawmakers to get something done. >> a lot of these legislators have children and they need to understand if this was their children she should stand up for them and theyre either with us or against us. >> molly: rich edson is at the state capitol where there was an anti- gun rally going on today. we can hear it. ...

In the u.s. congress were saying that the federal congress should pass something on gun control. >> a lot of americans rightly asked why it is an 18-year-old, 19-year-old able to acquire these powerful weapons when they cant buy alcohol, when they cant buy back a handgun? i think we have to do more. >> the students from parkland, florida, arrived just a couple of hours ago here in tallahassee. they are still inside the local high school year. then they will move out, really only sleep for a coup...

Kasich, who talks about a lot of important issues -- >> maybe acting like someone who was announcing individual bid for presidency. >> shannon: who are we to say? twisting turns on this gun thin thing. the directing the department of justice to dedicate all available resources to complete the review of the comments received and as expeditiously as possible to suppose for notice and comment a rule banning all devices that are illegal weapons into machine guns. we are talking about the bump stock ...
