Also john walsh is for gun control, and also shocking developments about the case of oscar pistorius. On the night where everybody is talking about what have motivated adam lanza, some are saying he might have been obsessed with a man who killed 77 people in july 2011. He may even believe there was a deadly competition between them, a sick competition he hoped to win by killing even more people than he did. Meanwhile, Connecticut Police spokesman is throwing cold water on the theory at the moment, telling Susan Candiotti on the record, all of it is speculation. Theres no basis to the cbs story. I want to bring in javier, a consultant for the department of justice. Welcome back to you. Clearly, the moment, no one is committing to a firm motive, but the cbs report clearly implies they are finding some kind of evidence that adam lanza, the sandy hook shooter, had in some way fantasized about some weird, sick competition between him and the norwegian mass shooter. In your experience with this kind of thing, would that entirely surprise you, or is there often a copycat element to these kinds of massacres . If i was to understand, you would ask me a compound question. Let me answer the second question first. Its not common in my experience to see copycat killings. However, it is common to see multiple factors that influence homicides, especially in instances like this where it really stretches the imagination, why would somebody do something as horrific as adam lanza did . And watching video games could be a causal factor or it could be in fact the end result of something else. Mental Health Issues that led him to video games. Clearly, its cocktail of things, easy access to his mothers weapons in the house which he shared with her. The newspaper is reporting tomorrow morning that they found thousands and thousands of dollars worth of violent video games in the lanze home and in particular where adam lanza used to have his own little private quarter said, if you like. Clearly, if you mix the cocktail of mental Health Issues, the ready availability of high powered weaponry, and an apparent obsession with these violent games, that is going to trigger in the wrong kind of person, a very unpleasant situation. I think the proof is in the eating of the pudding. When you mix that cocktail, you get often times horrific results like this. The fact is that millions of people watch violent video games. Theres a multibillion dollar industry. The Supreme Court has ruled on whether this causes violence, it doesnt. But as a factor, when you factor it in with somebody who looks like they have severe mental Health Issues, had severe mental Health Issues, along with his being on the gun range with his mother, being not only desensitized to firing weapons, but being comfortable with them, and other factors were not aware of yet, but those three factors, i have to agree with you. Thats the cocktail for the kind of explosion we saw. I think you have to attack the whole gun control issue. I was almost rephrasing that, call it gun safety. How do you try and prevent more of these things . How do you try to make it safer for americans . I dont think you can do both, Mental Health issue, violent video games, gun control, all of it put together is a problem. Normal people with no Health Issues at all can watch violent video games all day and all night and they will have no affect on them. Its not who we should be concerned about. Its people like adam lanza. People with mental Health Issues who are in treatment, which is the majority, can watch these games and play these games and theres no violent. People with Mental Illness are not more violent than the general population if theyre in treatment. The issue is the problem with people falling through the cracks or even being pushed through the cracks of the Mental Health care system. Starting with clintons Surgeon Generals report with president bushs Freedom Commission on Mental Health, more recent commissions, they all point to the same problem. Obama is going for the same thing. We cant talk about gun safety without talking about our broken Mental Health problem. I have said this before on your program, its getting the system to identify them. This is a guy that is obsessed, the report youre getting, obsessed. I think i would also add that there are many countries around the world, including my own britain, where theres lots of mental Health Issues, but wows the ready availability of firearms, we dont get the shooting committee of people with mental problems. Thank you for joining me. I appreciate it. Youre welcome. Dr. William begg was in the emergency room on that day, fighting a losing battle to save the children of sandy hook. Since then, he haas been speaking out passionately about stopping gun violence. Thank you for joining me. I appreciate the opportunity. My heart goes out to the families who lost the 20 children, 6 teachers at sandy hook. I totally echo that. I watched your testimony the other day. It was profoundly moving. It was very emotional. I could tell you were trying to control your anger. I think at what had happened. I was. Also a sense of real frustration, i felt, that the message already was being kind of expounded by the usual gun rights lobbyists. And how do we get through this . How does america move to a safer place, do you think . Im with the group, united physicians in newtown. We understand its a multifaceted approach if we want to change. We understand its education. I have the ability to educate my patients in the same category when i talk to them about obesity and seat belts and texting while driving. We have to have education. So we have to have some research, so when i educate them, i have real data. Right now, theres a Public Service announcement that says if you text and drive, theres 23 times more chance youre going to die. I need the same data to give to my patients. Thirdly, Mental Health. I understand Mental Health is a big component, and again, towards my testimony, the way health care is going in our government, i dont want to cut resources in this environment, but lastly, there has to be attention to Gun Legislation, and the three tenets of Gun Legislation that were interested in is we have to look at highcapacity magazines, we have to look at assault rifles, and look at background checks. And the point of my legislation was that those for and against these view points have been talking about it. Its been analysis paralysis. Now we need our legislators to vote on some of these initiatives and let us move on. You have been doing the excellent work you have done for 25 years. Has anything quite prepared you for the horrors that you saw that day in december . No. You know, for 25 years, i worked in a emergency room setting, and i have seen gun violence, and i have seen a lot of trauma and tragedy, but this is different. Things have changed. Its personal because its my home town, but its children, too. So theres been a crease, where our society, even perpetrators of gun violence, but now, to go after children, but now we have lost a whole classroom full of children, we have to make some change, and i think this really is the tipping point. This is what is motivating me to do whatever i can to help try to force some type of change. When people say that any attempt to outlaw any kind of gun is an infringement of their Second Amendment rights, as one of the people who had to quite literally pick up the pieces of some of those children, what do you say by response . A couple things. First of all, i do believe that people are allowed to have their Second Amendment rights. And so people want to own a gun and they go through the proper channels, i accept that. But the Second Amendment did not say that people had to have military type rifles, and these high capacity magazines where you can hold thousands of bullets and the like. What i also say is that as a doctor, im not a political activist, as a doctor, i would like to be able to say to my patients that when you own a gun, when youre buying a gun because you think youre going to be safer, youre not going to be safer. The studies are very clear. If you own a gun, youre four times more likely to die of an assault from a gun. If youre a spouse, you have a significantly increased risk of dying from your own partner than you do from the boogie man showing up to shoot you. And similarly, the suicide rate in our country is astronomical. Almost 20,000 suicides and much more likely to die of suicide if you have a gun in the home. You know, i think you have raised some fascinating points there because theres been a spade of stories in the news only this week which lay testament to that. Oscar pistorius, the paralympian hero, he had a house full of guns. And if those guns had not been there, well obviously to have wait for the outcome of his trial, but one thing is for sure. If the guns had not been there, his girlfriend would not have been shot dead. And he was in a very secure compound where he didnt really need them, but it was the culture of him and his friends and people around him that he felt the need to have those guns in his house. Similarly, i think with the suicide of mindy mccready, the suicide rate in america is terrifying. 18,000 americans a year kill themselves with guns. In australia where they had a massacre in the mid90s. Forget the gun murder rate which came down. The gun suicide rate plummeted, i think by 40 , in australia after they brought in strict gun control following their massacre in the mid90s the same time we had the massacre in britain. Its not just when you get rid of guns or bring in effective gun control, youre targeting gun suicide because thats right. People can change their minds when they feel suicidal. They cant if they shoot themselves. Thats right. Even people who are not deemed a Mental Health type person may have social stresses that come up unexpectedly. They may immediately go on the Health Spectrum and be an increased risk. So again, if people knew that they were at a significantly increased risk of dying from suicide or dying from Domestic Abuse when theres a gun in the house, maybe they would be less likely to buy a gun. I think a lot of people in the country think if they buy a gun, theyre going to be safer, and that is not the truth. You statistically will be less safe if you own a gun. Dr. Begg, i thank you very much for joining me. I know you went through a very, very harrowing experience in december. I commend you for speaking out. I think its a powerful voice and we need it right now. Thank you for joining me. Thanks for the opportunity, pierce. Coming up, more on the shocking blade runner murder case. And john walsh, why he says Mental Health is as big a problem in this country as guns. John walsh has dedicated his sure does wow. Its the honey, it makes it taste so. Well, would you look at the time. Whats the rush . Be happy. Be healthy. [ indistinct shouting ] [ male announcer ] time and sales data. Splitsecond stats. [ indistinct shouting ] its so close to the options floor. [ indistinct shouting, bell dinging ]. Youll bust your brain box. All on thinkorswim from td ameritrade. John walsh has dedicated his life to tracking violence. John, welcome back. Thank you. Fascinating conversation i had with dr. Begg. He actually saw firsthand the utterly horrific scenes at sandy hook and he makes good points, when people try and use the Second Amendment as a defense against any form of guns, lets call it safety, not control. The word control maybe conveys the wrong sentiment, they go crazy. What do we do about this and what do we do about the connection between clear Mental Health issue and the type of gun violence we saw at aurora or sandy hook or the other massacres . I have profiled so many fugitives on americas most wanted who were on parole or probation, one man who was the suspect in the murder of four children, to kidnap an 8yearold daughter and 9yearold son, released and able to get a gun every time. He would violate his probation, parole, sex offender registry, but he was able to get guns and murder children with those guns after he abducted them, and he had a long history of violent pedophilia, and psychiatrists said at each one of his parole hearings, this guy is a health risk to society. He should never be released into public. So there are so many people who have serious Mental Health problems who have availability to guns. Eight states dont report at all. When you hear 40 of all gun sales in america are done without any kind of background check, i find that the most terrifying fact of all because that is a huge amount of firepower that is crisscrossing around america, whether its in gun shows or in other ways, hand to hand, going into hands of people we have absolutely no accountability for. Some states attribute 60 . Columbine, one of the boys gets a mac10 pistol the day before. Pays cash for it and all the bullets for it, and the two boys go to a gun show. Theyre not old enough. Theyre dressed in their trench coats, and they take their little groupie friend of theirs, a girl, who says lets buy this, lets buy this, lets buy the ammo. No one asked them. They go, are you 18 . Its against the law in colorado to buy a gun under 18, and she said, im the one. Heres my drivers license. No background check, nobody asked what are you going to do with that . The next day, they shoot 39 people. Its insane, and im a responsible gun owner. Since i saw you last time, i had one day off, and i went quail hunting. And i asked the guys i was quail hunting, including the guide, i said, would you have any problem with background checks . They said, absolutely not. Responsible gun owners should go through responsible background checks. Wayne lapierre runs the nra. Hes a fascinating and in my view a very dangerous character. He has done complete uturns on background checks. He used to be in total favor of universal background checks. He was in favor of all schools being gun free. Now he wants the opposite. Everything is geared towards now with the nra and the leadership, not the membership, but the leadership toward the sale of guns and ammunition. And the recommendations are to keep the flow and sale of guns. 3 million guns are imported to the United States every year, 5 million guns that are manufactured here are sold. The nra is funded by the gun lobbyists. I say to smith wesson, to remington, all the other gun manufacturers, what about putting a gps chip in those guns . You assume the responsibility and cost. I have proposed this to white house, to congress. Put a gps chip in that gun. So the responsible gun owner whose house gets robbed by some little punk, and those guns are sold to the bad guys, you should be able to act vite it like i have an ipad, and if somebody steals my ipad, i can activate that app and you can track it. I think its a great idea, but when i went to texas, i could tell it was a very different atmosphere than new york. They would find that as a creeping sense of tyrannical government, and they feel that very strongly. Absolutely not. I love texas. I have done many shows there. Those guns end up in the hands of gang bangers. We discussed when i did a show about pablo guzman, the billionaire drug dealer. That general showed me 5,000 guns in a warehouse they confiscated from the cartels. He said these guns were bought in gun shows in new mexico, arizona, and california, driven or here, bought for 12,000, and sold for 4,000 to the cartels, that caused 42,000 murders in mexico. He said not only is americas insatiable appetite for guns funding the gun wars, but theyre killing people. If the guns had gps chips in them and they went across the border, you could track the guns. Good idea. Final question, who will stand up to the nra . I think every person, and most people i know dont know their two members of the congress. They have to say, i will never vote for you again. I will never donate a dollar to your campaign unless you stand up. The country says we need Mental Health systems, background checks. Say to those people in congress, we know youre afraid of the nra, its the toughest vote youre going to make, but unless you make america safer, safer for me and my wife, im never going to vote for you again. Well said, john. Its a brilliant piece in Rolling Stone magazine about the relationship between the nra and the gun manufacturers. Its very direct. And theres a link to congress. And extremely mutually beneficial. Good to see you. Still ahead, a hoover, taft, and reagan live. When we come back, a 16yearold girl who said her parents tried to force her to have an abortion. Ill talk to the teenage father and the attorneys who brought the case to court. Adside assistance is there 24 7. Oh dear, i got a flat tire. Hmmm. Uh. Yeah, can you find a take where its a bit more dramatic on that last line, yeah . Yeah i got it right here. Someone help me i have a flat tire well its good. Good for me. What do you think . Geico. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. The parents of a pregnant 16yearold agreed in a texas court not to force their daughter to have an abortion. The girl said the mother threatened her w
