Page 8 - Gun Issues News Today

Somebody can stop a situation like this with a firearm. and certainly they have repeatedly over time. its not a guarantee certainly. its not a guarantee of preventing these shootings from happening, as we saw in buffalo where there is an assault weapons ban, and the shooter bought his new york legal version of his rifle and modified it. theres no single magic switch that you can flip, whether its about hardening schools or banning guns as people propose, thats going to instantly solve this probl...

Folks in washington, they better get to work. im going to be pushing greg abbott to get us to work. special sanctions. ive asked it. senate democratic caucus sent out a statement yesterday demanding it. this is no longer about challenging or anything, this is about making sure that we all demand change and that all of these people that i talked to, democrats and republicans want change on very basic gun issues. changing the age to 21 being the principal one. it makes sense. 70% of school shootin...

The.president of when these shootings occur, the impa secretary much broader than the initial shots. i am very glad we havent lost life. but this new home is trauma for people worn shot and people who were just there. >> no doubt about that. lets talk about just in the broader sense, safety in this city. we have an issue with gun violence. a lot of the city has an issue. the president, himself, tried to address it yesterday at the white house in trying to find a way to get a hand on government g...

Get our family together. its perfectly reasonable decision, probably a rational, logical decision, probably the decision the vast majority of americans including democrats are making at this point in the pandemic. >> quickly, the president will be traveling to new york city with that new mayor, eric adams, talking about gun issues. you have talked about in your state of the state, you committed to make colorado one of the ten states. how do you go about doing that? what are you trying to tell yo...

Nonsense. merrick garland is the guy that came out and said "those parents are domestic terrorists. fbi, im going to stick you will after those domestic terrorist parents." then youve got the governor who says yeah to the fda, bragged "the new prosecutors not going to be tough on crime." she says "youve got to be tough on crime," but wink-wink to her legislative friends in albany: "we are not going to change the bail walls, so we will let them out lose." the democrats want them out. >> dana: the...

This is a case from maine. the supreme court in the past has said that states cant block parents from giving money to schools that are run by religious organizations. that is to say, if they have a religious status, but this case takes it the next step further and says, what if the schools actually offer religious education, jose? >> and interesting, victoria, what people are talking about the supreme court will be looking at. what the second amendment means. i mean, there are some -- the court ...

Votes. >> yeah. and what youre speaking to is i think a real political miscalculation by republicans to do this right before midterms. youre taking away a huge wedge issue. youre mobilizing democrats at a time where believe me they need to be mobilized, right? we know these mid term elections can really favor the party out of power. so republicans kind of took that off the table and got a victory. we have seen this happen when republicans win on gun issues and other kinds of things. they kind of...
