Killings. >> andrea, remember my first obligation as an elected official is to defend the constitution and make sure we dont trample on the constitutional rights when emotions are high and as that last video showed, emotions are high. families are still in tallahassee grieving and talking to us about their losses. but ultimately, semiautomatic rifles are included in the family of firearms that americans hold dear as second amendment right. and it is my obligation to make sure that right is prese...

We want change. we want genuine lasting change." incredible words there, carly. what type of change do you want to see happen? what are you proposing here? >> i just want something with gun control to happen, whether it be assault rifles and semiautomatic weapons that arent in the hands of civilians or something with mental health and someone that has a mental illness and background checks. and it shouldnt be so easy to get a gun. and i dont think that if youre not allowed to drink, you shouldnt...

Ar-15, you could be 18. you could get a hand gun. you could wait to 21. i would love to see if someone came to your house multiple times but no one was charged. i would love to see that on background check because that needs follow-up. if im a gun store owner, i dont want. you do you know how bad that gun store owner knows. 36 times coming came to this kids house. if they knew about the middle. ainsley: 389 times actually. brian: knew classmates threatened to shoot them in the past. if im a gun ...

And is thisthis is a terrible, e day. it is on grichm. the sheriff, the superintendent, this is as bad as it gets. so i agree lets not politicize it. but lets sit down and have the conversation. if you think it is about mental health, lets figure out how to address that. if you think that there are steps that we can take, common sense measures that wont interfere with anyones second amendment right, then lets talk about that. but by all means lets just not let this go. i mean were going to have ...

And property but its not an absolute right. we already restrict ownership of certain types of firearms. and for me i just dont see any reason for us to make for sale military grade firearms to the civilian public. >> i read an interesting article today, joe, about the culture in this country and how thats part of the problem. if you look at the second amendment right, for instance, its saying we have a right to own. whereas in fact you need to earn the right to own a gun. is it about changing th...

Its about police brutality. its institutional racism that ails this country and had ailed this country for a very long time and what the president and the vice president are doing, theyre trying toco op and issue, an important issue to turn it into something that fits them. but lets not forget, just two months ago, right in charlottesville, you had white supremacists, nazis, the kkk, inciting violence in charlottesville, marching. a young lady died that day and what did the president do? he call...

That might have influenced the way this was handled at the time. xwen theyll go back and take a look at it. but the fakt that mental health continues to keep coming up in these situations. we dont know how to handle it of the and we toedont know whe these records need to become more than private records so that people cant fly with weapons and so on. >> to your point, i mean, if he didnt have a background, if he was not on the fbis radar, you really cannot just add his name to no-fly list becaus...

Im upset for the constitution because i feel many of the arguments out there right now about what the second amendment does and doesnt say are being completely misrepublican resented. the second amendment is about the right to bear arms. it says nothing about background checks. it says nothing about the right to sell arms. in that regard, its one of the ironies here is that in the press conference, for example, president obama was actually in part agreeing, ironically enough, with justice scalia...

We -- me and my wife, along with a lot of other people feel that, you know, the second amendment, we have the second amendment right, and we have the right to bear arms. so i dont want that to go anywhere. i mean, i grew up with guns. my father was a district commander. he taught me and my brother how to use guns at a very young age, and me and my brother has never shot anyone. you know? and the thing is, its not so much that were trying to take guns out of responsible citizens hands. were tryin...

Arms. >> we have the second amendment right, and we do -- we have the right to bear arms. so i dont want that to go anywhere. i grew up with guns. my father was a district commander. he taught me and my brother how to use guns at a very young age, and we never shot anyone. you know? and the thing is, its not so much that were trying to take guns out of people, you know, out of responsible citizens hands. were trying to take guns out of the hands of people that are ex-felons. that are mentally ch...
