How does it work in chicago? stricter laws in chicago and new york but how does that work in chicago and new york? they have some of the tightest gun regulations in mexico. how does it work in new mexico? bad guys will get guns. they dont care about the law. when you talk about red flag laws and again, how will they designed these laws? make a decision that you will lose your guns and a danger to the community. who makes that decision? and a neighbor calls and says hes dangerous and is to get hi...

While were still trying to figure out what happened in some of these circumstances that you suggest animated the need for this hearing. >> reporter: and accused them of infringing on americans second amendment rights. provisions in the bill include raising the age to build certain semi-automatic rifles from 18 to 21 years old, new federal offenses for gun trafficking and selling large capacity magazines and strengthening existing federal regulations on bump stocks and ghost guns among others. >>...

Answers. i dont think any of us do. i think that we should be concerned, however, about the biden administrations willingness to curtail second amendment rights for all adults. perhaps a compromise would be to curtail them for people who are in so many other ways under age as opposed to putting a blanket restriction on adults. in most places, 18-year-olds are not allowed to buy handguns either. perhaps this could be an extension. maybe the same thing with juvenile records as were seeing in calif...

Record of blocking efforts for gun safety measures, gun reform measures. he has been someone closely tied to the nra. there seems to be some movement here. chris murphy, senator from connecticut so moved by the sandy hook shooting, he is the leading voice. he thinks there is a chance for a deal, and we take him at his word. but something would be better than nothing. >> at least for every john cornyn in the room, there is a ted cruz saying, why are we politicizing this? we need to talk about men...

>> you know, i do not feel hopeless. i do not feel hopeless. and the reason being. so i say this a lot. for a lot of americans, the only form of gun violence that they care about is school shootings. they dont care about suicides, they dont care about children in black and brown communities who deal with chronic gun violence every day. they only care about school shootings. and if the only thing you care about is school shootings, the one thing after columbine, if we had changed one thing, and t...

Reported about at all. i think that cities can do this now, before congress acts. they can say that anyone that sales and the gun show has to have a federal firearms license. right now, there are people allowed to sell its gun shows that dont have a federal firearms licenses. again, oftentimes when these gunshots come to town, we have them in fort worth, you will have people lining up and saying, i dont the gun show it all. will people say, i want to the gun show, it is an amendment my second am...

Of second amendment rights and guns and that seems to supersede the safety of our schools, churches, grocery stores, our children. i think the idea of arming teachers is simply ridiculous. cruz and his idea of single door. again, another ridiculous idea and just deflecting from what the problem is. >> and heather, what do you think. >> i know that i do not want to be armed in my classroom at all. that is not something that i would ever want to do, and i think that that is much more dangerous tha...

Convention hall and looking at guns, looking at the gear that is their this convention. so much different scene inside and what we saw yesterday. and you also have a different scene outside, with fewer protests. not as many people coming out, it is still early right now, but you dont have that large protest presence that we saw yesterday. but i think one thing that is still there on both sides of this issue, its the passion. you have people inside, and you just heard that sound from that gentlem...

Entire national security apparatus. it was filed in the supreme court case where the justices are considering the first second amendment challenge since 2008. we were united in telling the court that this easy access to weapons, that are so used lethal, semiautomatic, assault rifles, and other semiautomatic firearms makes as a target for foreign terrorist groups and makes our communities targets of domestic groups that engage in extremist violence and who try to a team course in the militias tha...
