Until they get further guidance from the courts. that happens all the time. that happened after the heller case in 2008 when the supreme court said there is a right to keep arms. and we had to figure out what that meant. we ended up back in court on the bruin case 14 years later, in which we get a little more definition on keep and bear. but now we are seeking guidance on sensitive areas. this is a sort of cycle we kind ourselves in when the supreme court rules on one thing, and then opens up se...

Generally speaking, what the supreme court said in the heller case in 2008 was that individuals have a right to bear arms but in the home. as you might expect in our very diverse country, a number of states, most states, said that when a citizen asks for a permit to carry outside the home, the state and local authorities shall issue it. in seven states, including -- the legislature said they shall issue it upon a showing of proper cause. what the supreme court has said today is that that proper ...

Conversation? >> yes. i have a lot of faith in chris and i personally had dinner with about five or six of them and talked about this for three hours last night. so i believe there is some movement and theyre interested in moving ahead. but again, it is going to be, i hope, a combination of different things. because we know that not every shooting is the same. not every motivation is the same. but we have just stood back and done nothing and i thought joes point about the supreme court and the h...

District of columbia within their home. there is a "new york times" opinion piece today from two of the clerks on that decision, the majority scalia and the minority stevens, the dissenting opinion. they write that lawmakers are reading this case wrong, that scalia didnt say that you cant regulate firearms, that there wasnt a role for congress to play in this. will you explain this to us, adam. >> sure. the supreme court in the heller case did say there was an individual right to bare arms prote...

Day in and day out. because they dare to investigate a politician, a failed game show host, who did one thing after another that raised legitimate suspicions. so, here we are, after years of slandering the fbi, they have absolutely nothing to show about it. and of course, the hilarity of the whole sussmann thing, after we heard that the deep state, the fbi, they were going after poor donald trump. poor donald trump is a victim. well, this case was actually sussmann supposedly lying to the fbi. s...

In trump tower. and its ended with this. its time to put it behind us. >> yeah. the jury voted unanimously to find sussmann not guilty. and you do wonder how much longer this durham probe will go on when its uncovered nothing much of anything. lets bring in george conway, contributing columnist for "the washington post." george, your reaction to the online going durham investigation. where is this headed next? >> i hope to the trash can. the justice department should put an end to this ridiculou...

And why its happening. even the majority of gun owners support things like background checks. i think its really about walking and chewing gum at the same time. the american people are having a hard time, understandably, understanding why nothing can get done when even gun owners support these bake measures. so, i do think that its up to the white house to express that. and also, just politically, i mean, you would hope that they would have the wherewithal to make that case with the midterms com...
