11th attacks. it shows that americans believe a terror attack will be carried out in the united states in the next few months. >> this morning, a cbs news poll finds that 58% of americans oppose donald trump's ban to ban muslims coming to this country. trump accepted the support of a police union last night in new hampshire. the candidate told the crowd, there is no time left for political correctness. frank luntz asked a group of 29 trump supporters about his proposal. >> no more muslims are going to come into the country. who agrees with him, raise your hand. >> he said temporarily. >> temporarily. >> temporarily. >> temporarily. >> the president is not making us feel safer. >> trump -- >> what are you scared of? >> -- is the only one who would come out and say something like this. nobody else will say. who would say it? >> you don't see even in this
8:03 am
room, this explosion of points of view that maybe he went too far in what he said? >> you know what trump does? he says something completely crazy and inflammatory and i'm like, oh, my gosh. and then he dials back and sort of starts explaining it and saying how he would address it and talking to us not like we are stupid. >> frank luntz will share more of the focus group's views sunday on "face the nation." plus, presidential candidate and ohio governor john kasich. that is sunday right here on cbs. fbi divers plan to spend a second day searching a lake a few miles from the san bernardino massacre. the underwater search for evidence began on thursday. officials say they are looking for a computer hard drive missing from the home of the couple who killed 14 people. >> tashfeen malik and syed farook may have visited the area before the massacre. other officials are trying to figure out how five agencies did
8:04 am
not pick up on her radical statements before allowing malik into the u.s. investigators are still talking with enrique marquez, the neighbor and friend who they say bought the assault rifles used in the attack. sources tell cbs news that marquez told cbs authority he and farook banned an attack in 2012. >> monday marks three years since the newtown school shootings. the connecticut government vows to do what the u.s. senate would not when it comes to gun control. dannel ma llolloy announced he d ban gun sales to those on a no-lie list. good morning, governor. >> good morning. >> reporter: tell us why you decided to do this. >> well, there is a whole bunch of reasons. not the least of which is to make us safer. several days before the attack in california, i read this report about how many times people on the terrorism watch
8:05 am
list had been allowed to legally buy guns in america that was actually 2,043 times. it doesn't make any sense and it doesn't make people safer. i think it makes it a much more dangerous situation. it's come to our attention and it's time to do something about it. yeah, there was an attempt to do something about it and the nra beat that back and it's time for, you know, right thinking people to stand up' and say if somebody has done something has them on the terrorism watch list, perhaps we should, you know, temporarily delay them from buying a gun or permanently ban them from buying a gun in a state like connecticut. that is what we want to do. >> people make a couple of points. one people who committed who committed the acts in san bernardino did not appear on any no-fly list. number one. number two, they ask what list will you use? number three, they ask suppose this is true in connecticut, will they not go go to another state and what is necessary is
8:06 am
federal legislation. >> of course, federal legislation is necessary. there should be no gun sales that are not subject to a background check. over whelmlying americans agree with this and members of the nra agree there should be background checkship when the intercan stop the congress of the united states from passing common sense legislation, we are in trouble as a democracy. overwhelmingly, people want to see some level of background checks on a universal basis. someone should not be able to buy a gun over the internet without a background check. someone should not be able to go into a gun show and buy a gun without a background check. it doesn't make any sense. let's make america safer. you know, you just led with a statistic about 79% of americans are fearful that there will be a terrorism attack. but 30,000 people in america will die from gun violence and some of that will be with guns
8:07 am
that would not be in the hands they are in if they had been universal background checks. >> in your statement, governor, you said the public shouldn't be fooled into thinking we are powerless and all we need to do is make common sense. if other states reached out to you and said, governor, we are with you and have you reached out to other states? >> other states have reached out to our office. we are sharing our information. we are discussing this with federal authorities. i think we are going to have an agreement to make these lists available for background check purposes only. that is all we are asking. when we do a background check in connecticut, we should be able to deny someone the ability to purchase a gun, subject to an appeal, obviously. if they are on that list. it's just common sense. what american doesn't think that that is the right thing to do? >> what about the concern that some people say the list is flawed? >> well, the argument there is things aren't perfect,
8:08 am
therefore, we should do nothing. what i'm -- i want to be very clear. we deny people the right to buy a gun in connecticut. it's subject to appeal. many of those appeals are granted because there was a mistake in the paper work or some other thing had happened. i'm not saying that we unilaterally prevent someone from purchasing a gun but we should be able to stop it if they are on that list. if we are not letting them on a plane, why are we selling them a gun? >> what is the specific list you will be using in connecticut from the federal government? >> well, there is a terrorism watch list and i think that that is, a, number one. there was a study that showed that people on that list were able to purchase guns 2,043 times in a ten-year period in the united states. let me just remind you that 400,000 people have died by gun violence in america since 9/11. 3,800 americans have died worldwide as a result of terrorism.
8:09 am
what i'm saying is let's make sure that we make our country, our state as safe as possible. when you know there is a threat, when you know is there a threat, we should be able to take action and, by the way, this is a much better -- i'm sorry. >> i was going to ask, will federal officials give you access to these lists? have they said they will do that? >> we are having discussions and i believe that -- i'm hopeful that it will lead to allowing us to use these lists. that's why i said i will sign an executive order as soon as that agreement is reached. we are in discussion. there's a lot of support in washington for doing this. there is an understanding that this makes citizenry safer and i think, ultimately what we are also trying to do is let's have this as a national discussion out in the open so that people really understand that there are senators and congressmen who would deny this protection to people the very same congressmen and senators who don't want to
8:10 am
let refuges go through up to 24-month screening process into our country, or candidates who don't want to let people of certain faith come into our country. let's have a sane debate about the things we can do right now to make ourselves safer. >> thank you, governor. >> thank you very much, governor malloy. can los angeles design its way out of a historic drought? we will talk to an architect coming up about his idea to

obama's, but they can't say much more because like any good jeweler, discretion is key. and, gayle, on that note, wouldn't it be nice if i could just walk out and discretely forget to give this back that is on my hand? >> yeah. if you want to be shot! >> great! >> reporter: here, take it! >> i would not advise that, julianna. you're an honest person. i see why mr. rosenheim is so touched. coming up the unforgettable moments of the week. you're watching "cbs this morning."
