Rural canada where all my neighbors have shot guns and other kinds of long guns to keep predators off their crops. but hand guns are a different thing. that really if we were we need i think, to be clear. when we re talking about the greatest number of gun tragedies, talking about gun tragedies inflicted by hand guns. what do you think about report in politico that some lobbying groups are purchasing anti on espn, sports center some of the other shows, anti-ads they know the president and other people like to watch sports and they think this is a good way to influence them in making decisions. i m going to switch to bravo when i m not watching you on cnn or watch desperate housewives of atlanta. it makes no sense. if they can find a way to spend their ad money to lobby the president, lobby you and me so be it. i don t think lobbying is a funny story this week. the president just named for secretary of commerce one of his biggest long-time political contributors. that seems ....
State lines. manchin went deep into the state of west virgina found people were okay with this. the compromise measure would require background checks for currently exempt online and gun show sales but not for most other private transactions. they were really going for the gun show background check, and the online background check. that was the meat of the legislation, correct? correct. neither of which, we ll remind our viewers would have prevented something like sandy hook or jared loughner in tucson or so many gun tragedies we ve seen over the past several years. background checks i believe are sensible. majority of the americans believe background checks are sensible. so is enforcing existing law. there is a new provision in the bill basically says the department of justice should prosecute those who try to purchase guns illegally to the fullest extent of the law. that exists currently because we have background checks in most of our states. we only prosecute, .1%. ....
Work of republicans and where do you stand on where that legislation that is coming from the senate, where it will end up in the house? the amazing thing to me is that the senate is proposing fixes that would not have had anything to do with tragedy in connecticut. certainly for trying to find real fixes that would prevent a seriously dangerous individual from getting training in guns from his perfectly entitled mother. that is something to look at and we want to prevent gun tragedies. let s remember, the fix has to match the problem and they are right now very disconnected. would i like as to see proper background checks? would i like to see people who are either felons, or mentally ill not get weapons, absolutely. and i think on that the house is united. jenna: congressman issa pleasure to have you. always look farred to having you back. thanks. rick: new developments on the shipwreck off the italian coast that lead 32 people dead. who prosecutors could charge in the grounding of ....
School. when they talk about cold war fears and nuclear anxieties. you are so old. you are so inappropriate. the culture is constantly reflecting those sorts of fears. i could have used your youth and inexperience. i was disappointed that the writers of glee put the viewer in the view of the school girl. to put it in terms of that mentally handicapped person. the mentally handicapped, the mentally ill are far more likely to be the victims of violence than to be committing violence. and yes, mentally ill people like adam lanza and mentally ill is different than mentally handicapped. but they have committed gun tragedies without a doubt. but many people who are not mentally ill have also committed gun tragedies. and the commonality is the prevalence of guns in america and how easy they are to get. obviously we disagree on guns. i think i agree with you that popular culture can comment on ....
