to grips with in the next year is what can we really do that might make a difference, and what will we do perhaps that will just make us feel good and won't make a difference. kelly: that is the debate that is going on in the wake of what happened in newtown, connecticut, and you also look at the colorado shooting, you know, the dark night knight, and someone going in there taking advantage of the opening moments of that, and then opening fire with a semi automatic, shooting people indiscriminately in a movie theater in aurora, colorado. so there is a debate out there, isn't it. >> yes on the other hand we have stubborn facts. most guns in america are semi-automatic, and the problem is when we had an assault weapons ban in 1994 it lasted for ten years there were 970 guns that could have qualified, we only banned 19 of them because the practical realization is we can't ban everything.
