Themselves. no word has been released by the l.a. county sheriff s department. on what kind of weapon the suspect used in the massacre. though the county sheriff said in today s press conference, that it was not a high powered assault rifle. and california does have some of the strictest gun laws in the country. still in spite of that, this happened. what more can be done in your opinion? we need so much more comprehensive and robust gun control laws in this country. yes, california is better than maybe the rest of the nation. i know we have protections against not allowing guns for those who have a domestic violence record, for example. but it s not enough, we need a comprehensive gun control in this country. uvalde, leave had it, we ve had buffalo, we ve had laguna woods, we ve had this, we ve had ....

Said to the video he watched the video with, quote, we do not need bad media at this time. so, the la times publishes the disturbing video. the sheriff says i had no idea. we didn t cover that up. as soon as i found out about it, i took action. a commander on his own force says, that is not true. you absolutely knew about it. and you did cover it up. that s where the story stood as of yesterday. where it went today is absolutely bananas. because today l.a. county sheriff convened a press conference to dispute all this reporting. and what he did at this press conference, that is now causing a fresh round of headlines, is he got up at this press conference today in person and he put up a big poster for everyone to see. poster had three large photos on it. one on the right is the la times journalist who did this reporting. also, another photo is one of his political rivals for the elected position of l.a. county sheriff and the third photo was ....
