so-called red flag laws. enhanced review process for gun buyers under the age of 21. closing the boyfriend loophole. penalties for straw purchases. and clarifying the definition of firearms dealer. eva joins me now. there s a lot to unpack here but the issue is moving forward. it has the potential to become law. jim, it is. it could be consequential. we have not seen any real gun safety measures passed in decades in congress. take the boyfriend loophole, for instance. anyone deemed to have been in a serious dating relationship and convicted of a domestic violence charge would no longer be eligible to buy a gun. previous atempts to pass this have failed under the weight of pressure from the nra. there s also a red flag law provision that allows law enforcement to keep guns away from people who pose a threat to themselves or others, found by a judge. but it sounds like the states would be given the choice to opt in to be given federal dollars for this effort, doesn t seem to
now the police chief insists he didn t hesitate even as his officers waited more than an hour to breach the classroom. is it an understandable reset or moral outrage. we begin with the january 6th committee s big moment. the story as detailed by the committee is as straightforward as it is incriminating. donald trump was at the heart beat of a sprawling conspiracy to steal the presidency. that for the jarring 11 minute compilation of footage. much of it new. one new piece of the evidence. there s more. a lot more. the committee promised as it used last night s prime time kickoff to provide the road map of what it calls a coup amonth. they said it was a month long plot and the power is that the evidence and the key details are from trump insiders, including top aides, even family members. the committee chairman bennie thompson told us on cnn last night, we ll soon see proof of conversations between trump s people and the extremists who led the capital assault. are ther
