Kept him from buying the gun that was used. >> it was a crime the assailants was ever able to purchase a firearm in the first place. he lied on his application. had a history of mental illness and there were bureaucratic failures. rob: we now know all the victims of the tragic shooting is here are the photos. eight were children. the oldest just 16. 11 people still recovering in the hospital. senate democrats going full steam ahead introducing a major gun-control bill. the legislation would make...

That are more pro-second amendment. i would not say week gun laws but pro-second amendment gun laws. why isnt indianapolis a shoot out? why is and milwaukee or wisconsin to the degree chicago is? i dont think that is the issue. chicago specific policies more than anything, it is a failure of the educational system and chicago police no, chicago politicians do not have their back and chicago police, when i talk to them they have largely pulled back, they are reactionary. i cant blame -- rob: shou...

When they did it before was they changed the appearance a little bit and the ban doesnt apply. i think there are other issues. for example, magazine size that maybe we do need to have a discussion about. because a lot of times in these situations, apparently, its when the fellow, its always a fellow, starts to reload, thats when you might have a chance to stop the tragedy, and so magazine size, i think is something we need to talk about. but ive never been one to say, lets get rid of the semi au...

Paragra parrotting the nr a-line, this background system doesnt work which, again, thats why we need a better background check system. all of your arguments are circular. for instance, a couple of people have talked about assault weapons. i know what youre saying. assault weapons were banned in 1933. then they say semi automatic weapons. oh, really, the pistol i have is a semi automatic. now youre coming for my pistols? theyre circular arguments. you all say it to yourself while the rest of amer...

Said we need you to really do stupid stuff right now. george w. bush ran in 2000. he supported increased background checks. he supported a ban on military-style assault weapons. he supported smart guns. he supported all of these things. and that was in 2000 and 2004. and that was fine with the nra back then. now you cant even ban the bump stocks that turn semi automatic weapons into automatic weapons. >> insane. its insanity. >> i dont know what the threshold is that americans respond to it. i m...

We heard there was a possibly for perhaps some regulation on these bump stocks that allowed semi automatic weapons be turned into automatic weapons, which of course im sure the overwhelming majority of americans would support. just like after new town, 90% of americans support it and still support expanded backgrounds checks. whats happening with that legislation that even the nra said might be acceptable to them? >> so joe, as you know, when the senate used to work 15 or 20 years ago, can you b...

Iran with the deadline coming up. that being saitd i want to get whats going on -- you are one of three house republicans that you have sent a letter to the bureau of alcohol, to tobacco and firearms to look at the bump stocks that convert semi automatic weapons to nearly machine gun status. you want to look into this further, why? >> im a huge second amendment advocate and ima gun owner. what my fear is three days ago nobody knew what it was. when i shot it before i was surprised to find out it...

For new regulations. we heard from the white house sarah huckabee sanders saying theyre open to the conversations about the bump stocks. they allow the semi automatic weapons to fire faster like automatic ones. on capitol hill that momentum thats building is building even among republicans. leaders like paul ryan and in the house, john cornyn saying its worth serious consideration. to be fair, theyve all stopped short of calling for action. thats something notable as we watch it. congressman mou...

Semi automatic weapons into automatic weapons illegal. this would be a bold move. >> donny, can we be skeptical? if you look at the nra statement, they created a crack in the window, as pete said here for this minor, what i would call a minor consolation, they may walk in the back door with a much bigger take away. which is they said at the bottom of the statement, that this massacre explains why everyone now needs to be carrying guns and they want conceal to carry reciprocity. they have an ask....

Springs in the action and the mechanics. the way an action -- im a gun owner and hunter myself. the way the action of a semi automatic weapons works is that the recoil, the combustion operates the slide and thats what brings up the next chamber. this does not alter the mechanisms which is what the atf said correctly. it doesnt fall under the current law. this is an exception by altering the slide links so instead the combustion bumps the slide back and forth to make it an automatic weapon. there...
