CNNW Inside Politics November 6, 2017

Gun laws might be needed. I think that Mental Health is your problem here. Based on preliminary reports. Very deranged individual. Tough words for kim jong un and he encouraged japan to buy a new weapons system to protect it from north koreas missiles. He will shoot him out of the sky when he completes the purchase of the equipment from the united states. He will easily shoot them out of the sky. We begin the hour with the Small Community grieving in texas after a man gunned down worshippers in a Baptist Church on sunday morning. This left 26 people dead and 20 others wounded. Thats nearly 50 people in a town of no more than 200. The youngest victim just 18 months old. At least eight of the victims were members of the same family. The pastors daughter only 14 years old also among those killed. Law enforcement said 26yearold Patrick Kelly opened fire during the services at the first Baptist Church in sutherland springs. A neighbor confronted the gunman who dropped the rifle and fled the scene. The neighbor not even wearing shoes jumped into a car and they chased him. I had to catch the guy. I had to make sure he was caught. At one point they said you may have to use your truck to get him off the road. There was no hesitation. It was do everything necessary to make sure this guy is stopped. The sheriff said the gunman took his own life this that vehicle. Diane is on the scene in texas. Law enforcement wrapped up a news conference. What were the big headlines and any changes from last night . John, perhaps the most somber. 18 months to 77 years old is the a age. 20 remain in the hospital ranging in age from 5 years old to 73 years old. It gives you an idea of how the congregation spanned in age and how indiscriminate the bullets were. This appeared to be a targeted attack. There have been a lot of questions surrounding motive. Law enforcement is not ready to go into exactly what the suspect was thinking, but said that this appears to stem from a domesticrelated incident. His motherinlaw attended this church and recently he sent threatening Text Messages they were told to her. They stressed this was not racially or religiously motivated at least at this point. They believe. They did not see any ties to terrorism. That doesnt mean that this did not start out something that he planned. Not only did he come dressed for war, all black wearing a ballistic vest with a plate in the front, he had a mask with a skull, like a white face over that black mask as he came into that church and opened fire. We are told three firearms. There is that ar 556 he used during that shooting in the church as well as two hand guns. They are now attempting to figure out how he was able to legally purchase those weapons according to the department of public safety. He was denied a license to carry. They are sorting that out. The pastor and his wife talked about their 14yearold daughter and losing her. They said we lost the majority of our Church Family. Unfortunately these things happen too often and it may be easy to forget them in the weeks coming. Withfamilies lost. For more on the investigation, the National Security analyst in new york. With me here in washington and the crime and justice reporter and ln aft t tom fuentes. Tension in the family. Domestic issues and angry texts to his motherinlaw who was not at the service yesterday and attends that church. What more do we know . Exactly right about the text message. Im told new information from the Law Enforcement officials. The motherinlaw received a text that morning from him. A threatening text message. Law enforcement is saying this has been going on for sometime. This has been this family dispute. This is not just started. It seems like the family was trying to deal with it on their. No indication they got any help. There was also a component of Mental Health issues. The family was trying to deal with it. It doesnt seem like his dispute with the family is founded anything. It could be more of stuff he had going on in his head. All of that is now part of the investigation. We have another situation where family saw signs and they wanted to help and deal with it. It got this bad. And tom, some of the stuff for years, it is incredibly sad and a family dispute. This man made a choice. If he had a dispute with his motherinlaw, he could have gone home. He went to a church and knew there would be a larger crowd of people. What does that tell you . The problem as you said was more than a complaint against her or the family or his motherinlaw. It was society in general and now had become his enemy. The congregation in the church where the inlaws worshipped became an enemy in his mind. It speaks to the terrible mental condition this guy was in and the helplessness of what the family felt. Im not sure you see something say something, okay, what if they call the police and say our son in law is derange and heavily armed and beat our daughter and granddaughter back when he was in the military. What would the police do with that . Probably nothing. You say probably nothing. Could they make a visit though and find the weapons . Sure. He said oh, no, im not going to do anything bad. Im a good guy. Until he carries out an act in progress to stop him before he kills as he did here. The question is now in part, how did he get the guns. About four over a number of years and the bigger question should he have had the guns given the fact that he was given bad conduct discharge and sentenced to 12 months which is significant for Domestic Violence against his former wife ask a child. This was not minimizing any domestic abuse, but this was incredibly serious. Listen to the governor saying this man did apply for a concealed carry permit and was told no. He was sought to get a license to carry a gun in the state of texas. But the state of texas denied him the ability to get a gun. How was it that he was able to get a gun . All the facts that we know, he was not supposed to have access to a gun. How did this happen . How did it happen . Is there a distinction between dishonorable and bad conduct that leaves the door open. Absolutely. Six different classifications for someone to be discharged from the service. The top is honorable what everyone seeks down to entry level separation when you go to boot camp and it doesnt work out for you. In between there, just above dishonorable discharge is the bad conduct discharge. What is so be giling is you are clearly prohibited from owning a firearm just as if you are a convicted felon or denounce your u. S. Citizenship or an order of protection against you. Have a misdemeanor conviction where by there was violence detached to members of your family. Battery. That happened in the courtmartial. He spent a year. For some reason that did not make it in. Again, we dont have all the paperwork. The atf was careful to make the distinction saying they are going back and referencing that, but it is utterly baffling and unconscionable that someone can own a weapon and not be allowed to carry it. Remember in texas to have an open carry privilege you have to have a concealed carry permit. Not every state requires that. Texas does. When you listen to this, you have these questions now. Should he have had these weap s weapons. System not talking to each other or is there a gap that needs to be fixed. The presentation to the top of the hour where they laid out the case and the domestic issues with the motherinlaw. What jumps out and whats your biggest question . The biggest question is did he obtain the guns fraudulently or illegally . Thats a distinction. If it was i by fraud, you can think of policy proposals that would close the capability of someone being able to get a gun fraudulently. If it was illegally, you go after the gun sale owner. This is what we have to begin to do. If someone illegally gives him a gun and knows that they shouldnt be giving him a gun, unless Law Enforcement goes after the sellers or manufacturers, you wont see any progress in terms of making the laws on the books effective. That too is a policy fix that we have to focus on. Just because we now know his motivation, it wasnt terrorism or a race crime, but family oriented does not stop our responsibility as Law Enforcement security people to talk about. We understand the motivation. They dont have the means to get it. Whether they get it fraudulently, illegally or by mistake. A few moments ago in the briefing, there was video from inside the service. That has to be a horrible task. Critical if anything was said or people were targeted. Is that how that was put together . Depending on the camera angle, if it was focused on the people at the front of the church and conducting the service for broadcast to other people in the community, it may not show if we dont see him. He may be in the back of the church off camera doing this or walking towards the front, but we may not see enough of that in the video. We will learn about that later. We dont know how much is in the video. I dont want to end this without talking about the remarkable scene that played out. A gentlemen who lives across the street grabbing his own weapon and coming out into the street. Somebody driving by, Law Enforcement believe those Good Samaritans could have saved additional lives and from an investigative standpoint, they show up preparing to die. This shooter was hoping to escape. He was wearing a bullet resistant vest and metal plate ready for battle of sorts. It seems he expected or prepared to escape. The other thing on the video, the police talked about he was able to move freely around the church. Maybe some of that video captured that and some is based on witnesses, but they have a good indication of how he moved around inside the church. Appreciate the insights which is just beginning in many ways. We will bring you the details. President trump gives his snap judgment on the shooting in texas. Critics call it a double standard.

Remember after the Las Vegas Shooting where the president said it was too soon to talk gun control. The shooter was sick and demen demented and today he called the massacre a horrific act of evil and access to guns is not the issue. Mental health is the problem here. Based on program reports, a very deranged individual and problems over a long period of time. We have a lot of Mental Health problems in our country. This is a guns situation and we can go into it, but its soon to go into it. Fortunately somebody else had a gun they were shooting in the opposite direction otherwise it could have been much worse. The Washington Post and cnn and barbara with bloomberg. We watched the president there. Some say double standard. You shouldnt talk about gun control right away. Thats disrespectful to the victims. After the new york terror attack, the president reflects within seconds and was talking because this person was an immigrant, we need a tougher standard. One reflects his policy and one does not. He never campaigned as an antigun candidate and he is not that type of president. He has been pushing for regulations and restrictions on immigration for a long time. One inspires the knee jerk response and one inspiring a hold on, lets back off this right now. The president is not alone in that either. This is a partisan split. Hard and fast down the center. You get a not normal response. They were able to move and nothing happened. Here we are again. The split of its democrats saying you need to talk gun control and cant prevent someone who is going to do this. Its disrespectful to have that debate. The only way that congress will be able to get something done on this issue is if there is a significant amount of leadership able to bring both sides together and work with the nra and see what can be done to find consensus. Thats going to take a lot of effort and focus by this white house. Thats not the message coming from the white house. We know how difficult it is to get anything done on gun control or background checks that look at what happened after newtown. There was a democratic controlled senate and they couldnt get past the bill. It is difficult for democrats to get something done. You will need the white houses push on this. The president doesnt feel this is something for them. The most expensives of health care is Mental Health care. There is two other tracks that we watch in terms of health care debate. One, the president s effort to undo the Affordable Care act and change the cost model into cheaper insurance that is more available for people. Things like the association plans that will not include coverage for preexisting conditions for Mental Health issues. The other is the opioid problem which is very expensive also. He was tempted by an Emergency Declaration through fema and decided not to because it takes hurricane money. The opioid treatment includes a tremendous amount of mental and drug counseling. Its true that people who are not mentally ill do not shoot dozens of people, but its harder for people who are ment american leaguely ill to kill people with a knife or their bare hands. For this president , its a modest number of individuals. This president did sign a law that reversed an obama rule under which the Social Security administration could report to the Background Check Services those who they deemed mentally unfit to manage their benefits. If you are unfit to manage the finances, we would report you and they sign the law that stops that. He didnt buy the firearms legally. He lied on the background check application. I wonder if that would be a cosmetic change. That might get enforcing those more. If you look at the calendar and everything this congress has to do and this president wants to do, it seems unlikely. If they wouldnt act after new and vegas despite the good will with bump stock, its unlikely. If we will be talking about Mental Health versus gun control. Thats domestic battery. You had that something he was courtmartialed for. You probably dont go from that to threatening a mother without something in between. Its stereo taboo. They might say this person has problems. The first issue often times is home battery issue. We know that was an element in the past. You do see this is assault. Ar 15 was the rifle you said at the church. Now the nra will tell you the gentlemen who lived across the street who came out probably saved lives that he had a gun and used it responsibly to chase this man down. To the bump stock question which we had after vegas, lets remember in the day after vegas, the most horrific mass shooting on american soil, maybe we should do something. I am willing to move forward with republicans on banning the bump stocks. Apparently this allows you to take a semi automobile and turn it into a fully automatic. We will be looking into it over a short period of time. Members of both parties in multiple organizations are planning to take a look at bump stocks and related devices. We welcome that and would like to be part of that conversation. They are legal converting a weapon into an automatic is legal. I never heard of a bump stock until this tragedy. However that gets fixed, im for it. That was all in the week after vegas. There was a bipartisan piece of legislation introduced and the speaker of the house pretty quickly saying we should do something this and we should deal with it administratively and since then, crickets. The nra said to deal with it administratively and the last thing the groups and supporters want is for congress to start meddling and adding things they dont like. You havent seen a lot of them. Nr awaited. Republicans in congress are backed off. Thats sort of what happens. Everyone is so afraid of limits, they dont have the wherewithal to get done what they want. They are afraid to open the floodgates. Thats the state we have been in for years and there was actual bipart an unity on this. People are afraid of what might come income. Its impossible to justify the bump stocks. Why the president said we are going to do this one thing. Im not going for big legislation. He can do that with the stroke of a pen or pick up the phone. 35 days later, nothing. President trump is in asia in kim jong uns back yard. So far, all stick. No carrot. Fargo . 107. 00 at.
