ok with me as we work as a little boy ah no matter matter because i don't want the cause the choice with me. sure. it's under which way you're committed. it's not no mac or pc. you can listen. can you not lead to the welcome back to the lawyer as lawrence and joe and 7 minutes after the hour. and i'm in one of the best places you can ever be on a friday for 1st amendment friday because we're making it

a 2nd amendment friday. i'm in northwest armory on se mclaughlin, this place is a mad house today. it looks like, you know, shopping day after thanksgiving. our business has been exponential amount of growth. there's been a lot more interest in personal protection. since there's been a couple of national tragedies, there's also been a lot more interest with the possibility of legislation and people concerned that they're not going to be able to get access to the things that they used to be able to have access to the organ legislatures considering for really bad bills, they would take away people's right to carry guns in various places, including one of them would limit your ability to carry in a school. if the janitor, it's sandy hook, elementary, had carried a pistol and he heard the shooting down the hallway and people screaming and then saw a young man not in

a police uniform running at him with an a r 15 and had shouted to the guys, stop and then pulled his pistol out and shot adam lanza would that have been a good thing or a bad thing. the folks like jenny burdick and those, you know, those net which, why would they think it would be a bad thing for people, legitimate law abiding people to carry a pistol on a plan. so rally starts at noon. i'll be saying a few words and then introducing other legislators who are coming about to protest. we expect to counter protest. now you guys have a little sleeves, really. we're going down. the salem seats fires, holding a rally, and we're going to go show them that they're not going to get away from what

they're getting. the the safety of our, of our families, of our children is their top. i mean, no more than a 1000. more than $90000.00 the fight against the british. what is taking years. there wouldn't be a united states today or you know, so thank you all for coming. you guys are going to make a difference. you really are. the 2nd amendment was created to keep me and i think government in check i think that people should be able to home. i

think people should be able to target to day, but they do not need a weapon or i always hear what you say. it's ok, you know, you just shout me though you're not, you're not reasonable. if you want us to respect your opinion, but you won't respect these pieces of legislation, provide common sense gun control, which is gonna kill massacres . children, why? i'm anti guns that have you have known and we would are 3 years. you'd have a lot less mass occurring done. you're more than a good guy and a guy in the hands of good his not a bad today. got got in the hands of the bad person on the lobby. i

what we're going to do is we're going to do a series of panels. you know, encourage all the going on as you talk to, to come. what, when the time comes. i'm finding that people are pretty tempest because these people have never stood up to the opposite show you, you have years of experience. you're used to kind of intimidation. you're about the here to serve. very angry voicemail from someone out there. you stupid. more guns and you can count never give them up. you received 8 and 10 i think were from one to save. hitler and stalin would be so proud of you.

you guys are pathetic. you are a waste of the oxygen i breathe. it's just too bad that you, people were a star from the nipple, or maybe you guys would have all your brain cells. lynching is an extra judicial execution carried out by a mob often by hanging, but also by burning at the stake and find are again, crow gun ad. but kids are intimidating law, may cause with threatening emails and video surveillance. joining me out oregon's big sen. jenny bird, dick, you cancelled the town hall meeting and then what did they do? i did, and i, when i cancel the town hall meeting, i didn't want to say anything inflammatory. so i just said the standard scheduling conflict. well, they showed up at my house and they stayed. they stayed in front of my house for 2 and a half hours taping. everything i did and then they put it on the web. and their point

was that i didn't in fact have a scheduling conflict. but they ran my address and they ran very threatening comments about it. is that all right? you are good. oh, i didn't know any of that was going on. my goodness. yeah. watching you take out your direct. it was really creepy. i'm not happy about them coming into the camp of my team and i provided physical security for senator bertie, probably 3 or 4 occasions in the portland area. people had confronted her in one case she was walking to her car and somebody jumped out of the brush. certainly we really took this quite seriously. when congresswoman difference was shot in tucson, arizona. you know, how do you know something like that's gonna happen? so we believe the data point that she had a legitimate right to be concerned about her welfare.

me. she's a public figure. people understand that public figures don't really have privacy. i think jenny brakes, edge shepherds come into her having issues that scares you a step down. she should just get over it and move on and quit her job. nobody lecture i'm not bitter at all by the way. i can show you this, this one with my for, for such as play out on my sub. it's the heritage, a lot of families from michelle this

me makers plan a marathon public hearing on for bills. they included ban on guns in schools and criminal background checks for private con sales. so we should be there by. so this is telling me 730 i mean, hopefully this will be a good forum and people will be open to everyone's message on all sides. the issue none of us can replace steve, but we can try to make things better. i back in january, my friend invited me in this community meeting about can safety a literally just stood out there and said, hey, this is who i am. my mom was count town center and silent room

by just standing up and saying that i made a real for everyone. i realize that that moment i do have a voice. maybe i can make an me. i want people to remember. i don't want people to forget that people were murdered and how they were murdered and that we need to change the cycle of violence seems to be going on in our communities. they gave me politicians back down just because they don't want to take their harassment and that is what results in no change. and i just refused to be intimidated because i can't in good conscience after newtown, back down i

i, this issue is very simple to members in the public. somehow when you get into the charge, the environment in this building, it becomes more difficult. good morning everyone. thank you for being here. i'm going to open up the senate committee on judiciary this morning. we have 4 bills that are before us, that we're going to be taking public testimony. each of these bills have amendments that will change the actual purpose of the bills. in conducting today's hearing, i ask that everyone to be respectful to the speakers and their views, even though you may disagree with those positions. i think it's very important that we have this hearing today to decide on what if anything will be moving forward. so that bill $700.00 would finish closing the loophole to require background checks for all gun sales bills will do nothing but target law abiding citizens. they're

not going to affect the criminals. they don't solve any of the problems that we've had. the fact that this state continues to allow the private sale of guns without background checks is reckless. you're responsible and downright dangerous. none of these bills will keep the guns out of hands of a single criminal or madman. if more people had been killed a crack in this town center. we would have them work comprehensive law. we're legislating and reaction to a tragedy that won't prevent it is true. criminals will always get guns, but let's make it harder for them for women and those with disabilities. guns are the great equalizer. senate bill $347.00 would allow school districts rather than one advocacy group or another to decide what really is a safe school. there is no place in our schools, but guns again presumes might as well be advertised as potential killing zones. students were almost unanimous in their opinion that their sense of security would not be enhanced with additional weapons on site. you need somebody at the school to stop that person. the laws we have and assistance we have in place do not work. the

enter a can spread their money around it or influence, but it's only you folks, the legislators that can write and pass the laws, but we all live by i thank you very much. ah man across the board of the 13 focus bittman go ball here but me. oh yeah. oh oh i . oh god, give me.

ah, i understand. i oh oh right now there are 2000000000 people who are overweight or obese. it's profitable to sell food. that is pricey and sugary and the victim is not at the individual level. it's not individual willpower. and if we go on believing that will never change as obesity epidemic, that industry has been influencing very deeply. the medical and scientific establishment, ah, what's driving the obesity epidemic? it's corporate. me and our next piece come forward. none

of these bills would have stopped the shooter that killed my mother, a cart miss tom center. still, it is an important action for this legislature to demonstrate that they are serious about making our communities safer. reducing gun violence is a complicated issue, but that is not an excuse for inaction. i'm here today and host holding a dialogue. i'm going to safety. please don't make the same as somebody guided believing that this couldn't happen to me. they could easily have been your wife, your husband, your daughter, or your son. or remember katrina. you remember 911. what happened? overnight and nothing mattered. politics didn't matter where you were from, didn't matter. people do anything to help the people. that's never happened since

this terrible tragedy. and it didn't happen. and i knew when it didn't happen. i mean, if you slaughtered children the way they were slaughtered and you slaughters 6 students, 6 teachers who are trying to defend their bodies and defend them the way they were slaughter. and that can bring us together instantly. there my friend, this thing will never come together. me, i i are now 6 state associations and 262, individual sheriffs are on record opposing any new gun control legislation. this week. the sheriffs of 5 oregon county sent out letters that they would not support laws passed by congress, that trump the liberties of citizens in addressed

to vice president joe biden. i will not tolerate, nor will i permit any federal incursion within the exterior boundaries of grant county, oregon, or any type of gun control legislation, aimed at disarming law abiding citizens is a goal or objective share for grant county. i to a publicly state that i refuse to participate or stand idly by while people i represent are made into criminals duty or unconstitutional actions. this is my basic police class. back in the late eighty's, when i went to the police academy, things are happening. our country right now that 4050 years ago, it was unthinkable about people the mass casualties in the killings in the bombings . and i don't like it either, but i think the people need to take responsibility into their own hands and be prepared. i heard one talk show one time they were talking about, well, our government has nukes, do you propose that you have nukes?

and my thought was, if they're gonna use a nuke against me, i would like to have a new to level the playing field. you know it's, it's a little unrealistic. but let's, let's be realistic that if our government or anybody else is going to use a tank against us, it would be nice to know that i have the same ability of protect the people who have elected me in the office. that i could step to that same level. i don't anticipate ever wanting or having to have a tank or use for one. but if somebody was to use one against me, it would be in our, in our best interest to be able to defend ourselves. and that's what 2nd amendments all about me . i'm not in the camp of anti government, but i think less government intervention into our lives would be

a good thing. and i think there's a big divide there between what we call western oregon or the valley. the portland area and rural oregon a lot of what we get from the politicians is a knee jerk reaction. i don't have a tremendous amount of ease in how they do things. and i think the gun control, whatever you wanna call it, is a very good example of that. killed that blanco's. i don't know the solutions to lessen the chance of a sandy hood type incident is going to come from gun control. i think it's much deeper than that. do i know what the answer is? no, because there's i think it's a very complicated, very complex problem. guns we're part of it.

we have to decide what we're willing to accept on both sides of the fence. you know, are we willing to accept what happened? you know, in these different instances? if not, then what are we willing to accept, you know, laws and rules to lessen the potential that happening. again. my name is frances wheeler. my husband, david. we live in sandy hook, connecticut. david and i have 2 sons. our older son, nate,

soon to be 10 years old, is a 4th grader at sandy hook elementary school. i younger son, ben, page 6 was murdered in his 1st grade classroom on december 14th, exactly 4 months ago this weekend. i've heard people say that the tidal wave of anguish i country felt on 1214 has received it. but not for us to us. it feels as if it happened just yesterday. please help us do something before our tragedy because your tragedy. we have to convince the senate to come together and pass common sense gone, responsibility, reforms that will make our communities safer and prevent more tragedies like the one we never thought. what happened to us hope to see the moment when real change begins me

i talk about making a difference when through your mind watching pain the pain and how she was able to rise above her own painter tried to keep others from having to experience pain. more than 3000 people who died since sandy hook in every single one of them had families who are experiencing that pain . and she's trying to do something about it. even though she is in desperate pain herself. really admire her.

as you feel, watching her stand up like that so publicly well it's certainly certainly drive to me. you know i, i'm a legislator and i haven't had some kind of loss in my family knock on wood. but people are in, depending on me and my colleagues to keep them safe and to have reasonable gun laws . so that is kind of thing. what happened again, and now i need to find a kleenex ah, in i i tell ya flipping vote. so they couldn't believe it. i thought for

sure, we could do it a few months ago, kevin, to respond to this. this country took up the cause of protecting more of our people . from a few minutes ago, a minority in the united states senate decided it wasn't more than we had a democrat and republican both got us with a great on the right the right, a common sense compromised on background trends. in fact, even began, all right, used to support expand the background checks, but instead of supporting this compromise, the gun lobby and its allies wilfully lied about the bill. goes why i got that

tense minority of gunners and that in turn, intimidated a lot of centers after i saw the boat didn't pass, i just was absolutely crushed and thought that all the senators, the entire senate should be ashamed of itself. if those kinds of weapons were less available or harder to get, we wouldn't have a lot of shootings and we certainly wouldn't have the number of death unconvinced that me who are, you know, i

could see i was presented sky and he gave me an update on what's going on? yeah. so basically what this move means is the senate president has actually taken the bills and referred them to the rules committee without sending him to the floor 1st because he thinks that they won't pass. right. he doesn't think they have the votes. i disagree, we are talking about people who are going to be running for reelection. so, you know, it's one thing for the republicans because the republicans know that the president does not like to bring against vision. cars bring bills to the floor without the votes to pass. so naturally they're going to say, we're not going to vote for it, hoping to keep it off the floor altogether. okay? because if they don't have to vote, they can hide from the issue. i

checked. seems like a no brainer to me. i don't know why we're even like, i mean yeah, i mean we were disappointed but there weren't like stronger bel table. so the fact that be really honestly they're really weak. bells can't even get sad that they can't get past the ah ah

ah ah ah ah ah, i don't know. i mean there are some steps in there were rescuing the food that they were not scabbing or were rescuing resources that are still good. this is best by march 21st, which is in today's all these potatoes, paula daniels, onions, all of these came from waste around sources. this is great for me because i'm always looking for a way to give things away. dr. because the tax laws,

you know, definitely do benefit the wealthier people and our society. so it makes sense for them to throw it out right off, rather than give it to somebody who could use it. and then that person is not going to buy the land of universal healthcare makes america the country of every man for himself . we have a retirement crisis in this country and we have a health care crisis for seniors in this country as well. so private business has come up with special mechanism for that. it's called the live settlement market. we are a life settlement provider, which means that we buy life insurance policies from primarily seniors throughout the united states who no longer wants or can afford their life insurance policies. if you're sick and for want to live a few more years, you can sell your life insurance. that way you get more money right away and the company collects your insurance payment after your death. there's

a group of people out there, i guess, hoping that people die soon. what kind of motivation is i give them when i start crying about him dying? that's usually what it's about. it's just the sheer unfairness of it all. the weeks philip stories on r c, the russian city of more than the loss of 6 people killed in a university shooting or correspondent traces, the stamps of the team, government deadly run the page. this is the exact road. the perfect trader took while he was carrying out his vicious letter from se political dialogue within nato is non existent in the us and britain. struggle to come french anger over a security packed with us really.
