this to happen to any family ever! and we talked tonight already about the push on joe manchin to get rid of the fillbuster to push through specific things but it sounds like there is enough that they can get together on the hill and have a conversation about that there has to be common ground issues that they can find. is there the will for it in your estimation in an election year? >> it's really tough. it's tough to do big things. we're always one election away from doing big things or making big solutions. i will say joe manchin worked with pat toomey from pennsylvania on what seemed like a commonsense background check bill that didn't get off the ground. there will be other efforts, bipartisan efforts. and we'll see. maybe there'll be something that combines a lot of different things that people could sign on to. anytime you get to comprehensive legislation, that's usually a downer for capitol hill, um -- >> shannon: hard to do anything sweeping and as we continue to note, the shooter was already in

Way Too Early With Jonathan Lemire

left buffalo and acknowledged it would be very difficult. is there anything at all that either congress can do or the president can do by executive action? >> yeah. there's been this talk about some sort of limited background check bill. i think it was introduced by chris murphy of connecticut and john cornyn. a contentious issue like gun control is highly unlikely to advance through congress. so anything that would be done would have to happen through executive order. the president himself admitted yesterday that he's basically done all he could do on this issue. so it doesn't seem like there's really any action on the horizon despite the horrific events we saw in buffalo. >> real frustration obviously from some of the core members of the democratic party, including his base, black voters of course targeted on saturday, looking for efforts here whether on voting rights or now this and yet president just simply by margins isn't able to deliver and facing other head winds, too. we know about inflation. now for the first time in quite

position on the second amendment, but i quickly felt responsibility for the entire community i represented. as the pulse nightclub tragedy occurred, i realized that dogma, particularly on my side of the aisle at the time, was only leading to more death. and through self-reflection i ended up sponsoring an assault weapons ban, sponsoring a comprehensive and universal background check bill, realizing at the time that the greatest thing i might contribute to the country's to move the republican party of preventing gun violence. i failed, i wasn't there long enough, and i wasn't able to muster enough colleagues to join me. but the governor of new york is going to fight. it requires self reflection upon members of congress. this self-reflection is in a couple lanes. it's on, what is buffalo reflecting on hearts of minds in american people? we know that in the great replacement theory, it is dangerous, it is used in our politics and culture, moves us over debate of policies and equity -- equity, how should health care

this year, that will make a difference. >> senator, will you join fred and all the families who have been victims of violence if they do what fred's talking about doing, coming to washington and surround the capitol? >> i will join them in whatever act of civil disobedience they want me to be a part of. i stood on the senate floor for 15 hours a few years ago demanding that my colleagues just simply hold votes on background checks, you know, for me, listen, i'm so lucky, both of my kids are still around. i can't imagine what fred and other families are going through, but this is a personal mission for me, because of my friendship and connection to all those families. i'm there for whatever they cook up. >> fred, you want the last word here? >> yeah, listen, the last piece of major gun safety legislation passed out of washington, d.c., was the brady background check bill, far too long ago. i've recently, actually, as i think you know, nicole, joined their pac as a senior advisor

background check bill, et cetera, et cetera. but i didn't do enough. and what i would say to my former colleagues who are still there today is, do something now while you still have a chance. while you still have power, while you still have a vote, listen to fred guttenberg, join senator murphy. i failed to do so every step of the way and i regret it, and so if you're serving now in the united states congress or the u.s. senate, do something now while you can before you leave and before you regret it. it is on us. we are the reason there is gun violence in the united states. this is a phenomenon unique to our culture here in america. it's on us to fix it. >> fred, i'll give you the last word. i always give you the last word. >> thank you. listen, i think you know, i filed a lot of lawsuits after my daughter was killed, and we're settling those lawsuits now, and they're all about accountability. because when people fail, we need to hold them accountable, but if we don't do anything to

enforcement so our police officers can really do what they do best, which is ensure that our community is safe and ensure they're using their resources to prevent the most violent crime we see in our neighborhoods. >> debbie, only about 30 seconds left. as we see these spikes around the country, do you think republicans will use this as a lightning rod issue leading into the midterms? these crime rates? >> well, i would provide a warning to all republicans that think this is going to work in their favor. let me remind all of them that the 90% of americans support taking measures to reduce gun violence in this country. they have not acted. they have not passed the universal background check bill that has been stuck in the senate. it will have political consequences, more to the republicans than the democrats. the democratic party has been working and the democrats in congress have been working to pass commonsense gun reform. i think it's time for the gun senate to react.

to act on things like background checks. we just did an analysis that found over 300,000 gun sales were stopped thanks to the background check system, more than ever before. we don't know how many guns were purchased through loopholes in the system. we know about a quarter of guns sold every year are sold without a background check. what president biden is doing is important, and a huge change, but yes, we need congress to act. this data, analysis on background checks shows anything, it is that we can keep guns out of the hands of people that shouldn't have them, but also our elected officials should be racing to close loopholes to save lives. >> peter, from here what's president biden's plan, to think of more things he can do from the oval office or is it to lobby congress on something like a background check bill? >> reporter: i think it is a little of both.

americans, support passing at the federal level universal background check bill. california has some of the lowest rates of gun violence, even after this hoar richk shooting in san jose, but they can't prevent ammunition and other guns to come into the state if we don't have a mandate at the federal level. i think that americans at this point are tired, we cannot continue to live this way. this is not normal to live in a country where americans love their guns more than they respect human life. there has to be pressure put on the senate. this is not political. this is about the nine families we just saw left now with the pain and trauma of losing someone in such a violent manner. >> congresswoman, you served in congress. you know what it's like in terms of trying to turn the tide on this and have strong, strong

resistance of getting it passed. is it going to be about public outcry? when i talked to senator murphy, who's leading the charge trying to get this together, they say the public is behind him but is it up to the public to push in that direction? >> p i think what we saw when we go back to 2019, the action that came after the parkland shooting really moved the needle on electing members of congress that would act and take action on gun violence. for the first time back in that session, we were able in the judiciary committee to pass the first piece of legislation, universal background check bill, in over 20 years. a reminder to everyone out there, public activism, public pressure to your senators really matters. they work for us, the american
