somebody and i hope to god that never happens because it's going to be on your shoulders. >> reporter: wild life officials still don't know if they've caught the alligator that killed lane grave. his family said words cannot express the grief our family is experiencing. any family can relate. >> pelley: mark strassman, thanks. several people have been forced from their homes in santa barbara california. firefighters are unagainst high winds and dry brush. a fire in eastern arizona started yesterday near the town of sholo. coming up next, how quickly can you guy an assault rifle? and after a tragic loss, the navy's dare devils have returned to the sky. so the in-laws have moved in with us.

>> pelley: none of the killers in mass shootings of recent years had any trouble obtaining their weapons. in most states buying guns is quick and easy, as kris van cleave shows us. >> reporter: the orlando nightclubs have restarted the debate on guns, particularly the assault rifles. in virginia, the law to buy one is pretty straightforward. you have to pass a background check and pay for your purchase. in virginia where the shootings killed 32 people, there is no waiting period for a fire arm. even a so-called assault rifle similar to those used in orlando and san bernardino. we sent a cbs news producer into

a gun store in alexandra, just outside washington, d.c. >> i'd like to buy an ar-15. >> reporter: she filled out these federal and state forms requiring her name, date of birth, social security number and a few basic questions about any past criminal activitior current restraining orders and she passed a brief electronic background check. >> did it go through? >> yes. >> reporter: all told, it took $1,030 to walk out with the gun. >> you can go into a gun store and buy an ar-15 in most places. >> reporter: four states and washington, d.c. impose a waiting period on all firearms ranging from 10 days in california and d.c. so 24 hours

it was their first training run since marine captain jeff cuss was killed in a crash in tennessee two weeks ago. their next show is a week from saturday in vero beach, florida. we'll be right back. . >> pelley: we were reminded today of how many times in

recent years a president has been called on to play the role of america's pastor. to lead the nation in prayer for victims of a deadly attack. bill clinton, after oklahoma city, george w. bush after september 11, and the massacre at virginia tech. but president obama has done it most of all. 14 times, including fort hood, texas. newtown, connecticut, charleston, south carolina, and now orlando, florida where 49 died. mr. obama asked god to comfort the families, heal the wounded, bring solace to those whose hearts have been broken and give us resolve to do what's necessary to reduce hatred in the world. that's the overnight news for this friday. nor some of you the news continues. for others, check back later for the morning news and for "cbs

this morning." from broadcast center in new york city, i'm scott pelley. in a scene that's become all too familiar, president obama tried again to console those mourning a mass shooting, the worst one in u.s. history. the president made a low-key visit to orlando where 49 people were gunned down in cold blood at a nightclub. he and vice president joe widen laid white roses at a memorial to the victims and sat for hours with survivors and families of those killed. the hospital workers who helped save the lives of the 53 people wounded that night.

after the worse of humanity, the best of humanity came roaring back. if we're honest with ourselves, if, in fact, we want to show the best of our humanity, we're all going to have to work together at every level of government, across political lines to do more to stop killers who want to terrorize us. we will continue to be relentless against terrorist groups like isil and al qaeda. we are going to destroy them. we are going to disrupt their networks and their financing and the flow of fighters in and out of war theaters. we're going to disrupt their propaganda that poisons so many minds around the world.

we're going to do all that our resolve is clear. given the last two attacks were on our soil, orlando and san bernardino, were homegrown, carried out, it appears, not by external plotters, not by vast networks or sophisticated cells but by deranged individuals warped by the hateful propaganda that they had seen over the internet, then we're going to have to do more to prevent these kinds of events from occurring. it's going to take more than just our military. it's going to require more than intelligence teams. as good as thesh, as dedicated

as they are, as focused as they are, if you have lone wolf attacks like this hatched in the minds of a disturbed person, then we're going to have to take different kinds of steps in order to prevent something like this from happening. those who were killed and injured here were gunned down by a single killer with a powerful assault weapon. the motives of this killer may have been different than the mass shooters in aurora or newtown, but the instruments of death were so similar. and now another 49 innocent people are dead.

another 53 are injured. some are still fighting for their lives. some will have wounds that will last a lifetime. we can't anticipate or catch every single deranged person that may wish to do harm to his neighbors or friends or co-workers or strangers. but we can do something about the amount of damage that they do. unfortunately, our politics have conspired to make it as easy as possible for a terrorist or just a disturbed individual like those in aurora and newtown to

buy extraordinarily powerful weapons and they can do so legally. so today, once again, as has been true too many times before, i held and hugged grieving family members and parents and they asked "why does this keep happening?" and they pleaded that we do more to stop the carnage. they don't care about the politics. neither do i. neither does joe. and neither should any parent out here. thinking about their kids being not in the wrong place, but in placing where kids are supposed to be.

this debate needs to change. it's outgrown the old political stalemates. the notion that the answer to this tragedy would be to make sure that more people in a nightclub are similarly armed to the kill er defies common sense. those who defend the easy accessibility of assault weapons should meet these families and explain why that makes sense. they should meet with the newtown families, some of whom joe saw yesterday, whose children would fwhou be finishing fifth grade on why it is we think our liberties requires these repeated tragedies.

that's not the meaning of liberty. i'm pleased to hear that the senate will hold votes on preventing individuals with possible terrorist ties from buying guns, including assault weapons. i truly hope that senators rise to the moment and do the right thing. i hope that senators who voted no on background checks after newtown have a change of heart. then i hope the house does the right thing and helps end the playing plague of war that these weapons inflict on so many young lives. i've said this before. we will not be able to stop every tragedy. we can't wipe away hatred and evil from ever heart in this world, but we can stop some tragedies.

we can save some lives. we can reduce the impact of a you won't believe your eyes covergirl presents super sizer fibers fibers built in, lashes built out volume and so much length you can't believe they're yours new super sizer fibers easy, breezy beautiful covergirl moisture so i can get into it ao enhance mbit quicker. ral and when i know she's into it, i get into it and...

unfortunately our politics have con spooird to make it as easy as possible for a terrorist or just a disturbed individual like those in aurora and newtown to buy extraordinarily powerful weapons, and they can do so legally. >> the massacre in orlando has renewed the nationwide debate over gun control. no other developed nation embraces firearms the way ours does. and gun rights advocates insist it's always been that way. lee cowan has a look back at the lift of guns in america for sunday morning.

>> reporter: the good ship may flower, not a single gun was known to survive. but they were probably there, accompanying the pilgrims to preliminary of the rock. on the fourth floor of the smithsonian's national museum of american history, they have their very own vault. >> i'm sure there's people that would give anything to come in here and see these things, right? >> yes, lots of visitors who are astounded and don't want to leave. >> reporter: david miller is curator here. he's got guns of all sizes, shapes, and cal bers. >> that one's probably from russia. >> reporter: and every one has a reason to be here. >> this would have been the type that would have been at lexington of concord. >> reporter: the plus ket is in

every history book, coming to symbolize freedom. even in the musical "hamilton." guns are just part of our every day language. going off half cocked, flash in the pan, bite the bullet. they're all based in fewer arms lower. but were we born a gun loving country? she says not necessarily. >> americans have always loved guns, they've always had guns. these things are much more complicated than that. the meanings of guns have changed. >> reporter: she says most settlers viewed the gun as a cool that's necessary and yet as ordinary as a plow or an ax. >> we think we have a gun culture because of the special status of guns. really, commercially, the gun was unexceptional.

it was treated like any other commodity. >> reporter: at the start of the war we didn't have enough guns. today, however, it's estimated we have more guns than people. how did we get from there to here? and here. >> the gun industry is not the only reason that we got here. however, it is the reason it never gets talked about. >> reporter: it's not just a matter of salesmanship but gun industrialists like oliver winchester and samuel colt did their level best to create a market for their wares. out of their connecticut factors known as gun valley, they'd produce guns with the same speed and efficiency as henry ford would later do with the automobile. best known, the winchester 73 and the colt single action army rele vovler, two of the guns that won the west. but as the frontier disappeared so did the desire of many

americans to own a gun. >> these guns weren't selling themselves. they weren't flying off the shelf. >> reporter: so by the 20th century, they were marketing guns. there was a strong appeal to the young, too. and the notion of a gun as a riot of passage. >> one of the advertise jmgts said you know your boy wants a gun. he can't tell you it's beyond words. >> reporter: there were catalogs full of them. immortalized in the christmas classic. >> the two range shot air rifle. >> reporter: it imitated the iconic rifles of the west. from real life legends from wild bill hick ok, wyatt earp, they

came to represent the rugged individualists of the untamed west. as the good guys and the bad guys changed, so did the guns. >> say hello to my new friend! >> reporter: some became as famous as the stars who fired them. >> go ahead. make my day. >> reporter: we do take our guns seriously. owning them is a constitutional right. but we've also tried to legislate how to control them. >> americans have always had mixed feelings about gurchs. so for as much as the gun slingers are part of our heritage, so, too, is disquiet and discomfort with guns. >> reporter: even in the supposed wild west, towns like tombstone and dodge city, prohibited people from carrying guns in public. fdr signed the first federal gun control legislation in 1934, hoping to reduce the bootleggers

with tommy guns. then the next three decades. >> president kennedy died at 1:00 p.m. >> reporter: john f kennedy along with robert kennedy an matter luther king jr. led to a gun law. >> we have been through much anguish. >> reporter: too much anguish for back then but what about now? today there seems to be an alarming sameness to our gun violence. from a colorado high school to a tuscon parking lot to a movie theater in aurora and a grade school in newtown. gun sales tend to go up. u.s. gun makers produced nearly 11 million firearms in the year after sandy hook.

not far from there in hartford, connecticut, sits a church built by samuel colt's widow. it stands as a u nike symbol of where guns sit in our society today. you'll find her husband's firearms on the -- as art hidden at the top of the church's columns. maybe that's the place guns will always occupy. worshipped by many, their presence carved in sto dove men+care. the strength test. like leather, skin is stronger when it's hydrated. that's why dove men+care bodywash has a unique hydrating formula to leave skin healthier and stronger.

so, you said it was guaranteed acceptance? yes. it's for people ages 50 to 85. there's no medical exam or health questions. you can't be turned down because of your health. it fit right into mom's budget and gave her added peace of mind. you should give them a call man: are you between the ages of 50 and 85? for less than 35 cents a day, you can get guaranteed acceptance life insurance through the colonial penn program. you cannot be turned down because of your health. there are no health questions or medical exam. your rate will never go up and your benefit will never go down due to age-- guaranteed! these days, the average cost of a funeral is over $7300, and social security pays a death benefit of just $255. don't leave a burden for yoloved ones. call about the colonial penn program now.
