Going to be head of the school safety commission? i don't know. >> well, there is a joke here in washington that when you want to punt on an issue, what do you do? you create a commission. we've seen many more examples of failed commissions. that said i do hear from folks on the hill that this is such an intractable issue that that may be the inevitable starting place where we have to go because if you look at what the president is supporting, it's nothing coming out of the white house other than this commission. it's kicking everything to the states, everything to congress. and even his own p...

Considered a minor concession that we couldn't even get through congress. so my guess is that, yes, we'll create this commission and, no it won't do anything but it will collect ideas and if at the end of the 2018 election there is an agreement that guns was an issue then maybe the new congress can pick up with those ideas and run. >> >> what's unbelievable is the new congress may pick up ideas and run but this congress won't even do the nra said they should do. this president won't even do what the nra claims they should do. maybe they are quietly killing it behind the scenes, they are that c...

Destruction that comes from the weapon of choice, the ar-15 in particular and others like it, with no explanation as to why someone should actually have to have a military style weapon in the first place as a civilian. >> he did talk about hardening schools and that might be an area where there is room for agreement when it comes to security, perhaps not arming teachers. i don't think democrats would go for that. he talked about mental health and the comprehensive back ground checks. there might be clarity there where both sides on this issue can come together. kaitlan collins, he didn't addre...
