Shooting ranges outside the state or to second homes. they lost in the lower courts. they appealed to the supreme court, the supreme court took the case and then the city repealed the ordinance and the state passed a law saying no other city could do the same thing. so the law is off the books. so the only question here was, was there still enough to fight about over the second amendment? and the answer seems to be "no." at least, i dont see five votes among the conservatives to say, yes, we sho...

This case was moot, whether the challengers could still face penalties from the city, for example, when theyre going to a shooting range in new jersey, if they stop for coffee or the bathroom or to get gasoline, would that be an interpretation in the trip? and the lawyer says "no." and we wont penalized anyone for past violations of this statute. it does seem theres not enough to fight here. theres still some strong believers in the second amendment, samuel alito, sam gorsuch, who probably want ...

Which is that president trump has been talking about this debunked claim that ukraine hacked into -- that ukraine helped get democrats elected, that the ukraine was after him. he said in white house meeting after meeting that ukraine tried to take him down. so senator kennedy is really echoing the paranoia and the fear of president trump. but what we see is that the intelligence community fwh, including the trump administrations own community and agencies, they say this was all russia. and fiona...

Surround fired from those weapons when it hits your body expends all its kinetic energy destroying everything inside. and ive met those who survived fire from ak-47. ive met those who lost a family member. that belongs on the battlefield and does not belong in this country. so when it comes to those weapons, chris, the answer is yes. but when it comes to firearms used for hunting or self-defense the answer is no. and i dont want you or anyone else to get into the fear mongering that have fallen ...

I dont think you can do it legally. the heller case makes it pretty clear theres an individual right to own. i dont think weve ever seen the u.s. government do a taking of private property like youre suggesting. im not fear mongering, im repeating what youre saying. >> so you listen to a justice like antonin scalia, not the most liberal justice who served on the supreme court, and even he found that there is no absolute guarantee under the second amendment and that the government does have a pow...

Statements and underlying evidence there. so we have been pursuing, you know, over the course of the recess enforcing subpoenas to get that information and to get some of the witnesses in who weve been denied access to by the white house. so thats one prong of it. the other prong is looking at the allegations of what are potentially high crimes and misdemeanors. >> what is the time frame here? you know, were in a situation right now where its very apparent there is no one in the white house chec...

Terrible week full of brexit chaos, and he managed to change the subject long enough to have a go at pence about meat. >> its still the case, you know, the united states, the people of the united states of america dont eat any british lamb or beef or haggis. >> yeah, they dont eat any haggis. so weird. good luck getting americans interested in eating sheep intestin intestines. the vice president is now finally on his way back to the u.s., expected to land in d.c. around midnight. but i dont thin...

Administration of george washington, washington himself went into battle and fought to quell that rebellion. the idea of the second amendment as the supreme court said in the heller case is about protecting your right of self-defense, your right of personal protection. it is not a right to rise up and revolt against the government. >> all right, adam winkler, thank you for being with me tonight. learned a lot. >> thank you. still ahead, the trolling of mike pence on his whistle stop tour in eu...

How do you address the fears that the government is going to take away assault rifles as you call them if youre talking about buybacks and banning? >> so i want to be really clear that thats exactly what were going to do. americans will -- who own ar-15s, ak-47s will have to sell them to the government. >> in the wake of the latest mass shooting in his home state of texas, presidential candidate beto orourke has been out front very explicitly making the case for a mandatory purchase by the gover...

Felt that the second amendment did not confer an unequivocal right to bear arms to every individual. >> thats exactly right. he was reflecting the conventional wisdom of centuries. it was only a decade ago that the supreme court in the heller case said there was an individual right reflected in the second amendment. those well-regulated militias which are foreign to us were quite important to the founders. they believe they were against tyranny and they were worried that the big, strong, new cen...
