an emotional ceremony attended by a number of parents of newtown victims dan malloy signed into law the strictest and most comprehensive gun control reform in america. the law bans the sale of 100 new assault weapons as well as magazines that can carry 10 or more rounds, requires mandatory background checks for all gun sales and creates the nation's first statewide registry of criminals. but even as progress was made in this most poignant state, all eyes remained on the capitol. here was nicole hockley speaking at the ceremony whose son died at sandy hook elementary. >> this is a path i never thought my life would take but working to save the lives of others is one of the ways that i'm honoring dylan's life. this makes me hopeful that despite everything we've been reading, the u.s. senate will also take the time to listen to us when we go to washington next week. >> john: joining us now is the incomparable michael tomasky special correspondent for "newsweek" and the "daily beast." thank you so much for your time tonight. >> she's incomparable. i'm just here. >> john: i appreciate the se

dan malloy released his list of priorities for gun reform back in february, but despite controlling thenorship and both houses of the legislator, both houses have said firmly they would not be rushed through this process. they said rather their priority was to arrive at consensus legislation with minority republicans in both houses of the legislature even though they did not need to so they could come up with solutions that had bipartisan support. today, opening day, it's happened. they have made their announcement. this is what they're planning on. universal background checks for anybody buying guns in the state, a ban on high capacity magazines and a registry for existing ones. you can also legally put more than ten rounds in any magazine at a licensed shooting range but nowhere else in the state. the republican state senator who represents newtown itself are calling the reforms the most comprehensive package in the country. it will also include registry in law enforcement along the lines of a sex offender registry, there would be a dangerous offender registry. you would need that to

. >> candy, you spoke exclusively with governor dan malloy. he's imploring everyone to get on the bandwagon. he says not doing more is really counterintuitive. >> tell me again why i can't get on a plane without someone doing a background check but i could walk into stores or to gun shows in the united states and no background check is done. it doesn't make any sense. that's why 92% of the american public wants to see legislation that requires universal background checks. >> governor malloy was very passionate in this interview, understandably so. he was there in that room with those parents when they first learned that their children had been murdered. but what is doable in connecticut is not necessarily doable on a federal level. >> candy crowley, host of cnn's "state of the union." >>> for the last team standing in the ncaa tournament, basketball has become more than just a game. final two go head-to-head tomorrow for the ultimate prize. we take a look at their chances next. so if ydead battery,t tire, need a tow or lock your keys in the ca

governor dan malloy will sign the legislation at noon today. yesterday the house of delegates passed gun control measures in maryland which require fingerprinting of gun buyers, new limits on firearms purchases by the mentally ill and ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines. that bill returns to the state senate which is expected to sign off on those changes. >>> according to the laws center to prevent gun violence, five states have passed seven laws that strengthen gun restrictions. ten states, arkansas, kentucky, maine, mississippi, south dakota, tennessee, michigan, montana, utah have passed 17 laws that weaken gun restriction. two states fall into both categories. while drawing attention to the new laws passed in colorado, the white house is also signaling that it is willing to accept any kind of compromise on gun background checks that it can get. the president made background checks the center of his push for new gun legislation at the denver police academy. >> as soon as next week, every senator will get to vote on whether or not

connecticut did pass that package of gun bills last week and governor dan malloy signed it into law. the families who lost loved ones at sandy hook are a potent part of this process. they are willing to grieve publicly in front of millions of people, including on cbs last night, including on air force one with the president today. they are resolving to turn that grief into action. >> do any of you fear that after only four months the impact of this on the congress is beginning to fade? and the memory of how we felt on that day is beginning to fade? >> well, people do change, because the country goes in different places. but we're going to bring it right back, so that america can see four months to them, it feels like it just happened a moment ago. >> to you. >> and yet -- and yet it's been years since i've seen my son. okay. so we're just -- we're not going anywhere. we're here. and we're going to be here. >> we don't get to move on. we don't have the benefit of turning the page to another piece of legislation and having another debate and then playing politics the same way we've bee

anyway, this weekend connecticut governor dan malloy, a good man, had strong words for the nra's wayne lapierre over his opposition to new gun laws. let's watch the governor. >> wayne reminds me of the clowns at the circus. they get the most attention and that's what he's paid to do. i mean, this guy is so out of whack. it's unbelievable. 92% of the american people want universal background checks. i can't get on a plane, as a governor of the state of connecticut, without somebody running a background check on me. why should you be able to buy a gun or buy a, you know, armor piercing munitions? it doesn't make any sense. he doesn't make any sense. >> you know, chuck and ron, we have a strong constitution. it's been going on since the 1780s. we're going to hold together as a country, but you know, when you look at countries that fail, it's when their parliamentary people, their politicians in parliament, simply do not respond to the public's will. they just don't respond. whether it's latin america or somewhere else in the world. this nonresponsiveness of people like boehner and mitch m

. >> you know, governor dan malloy compared wayne lapierre to a clown. but nevertheless, is he the reasonable republicans are reluctant to sign on to gun laws here? >> i think the nra is a gun show. they put money into 16 u.s. senate races and they lost 13 of them. they have this mythology here that has absolutely no basis in reality. and so, yeah, they are certainly powerful. but i think that as members get down to the chamber and they have these discussions with the newtown families and they look at the real political record of the nra, they're going to figure out that it's pretty easy to vote for gun violence legislation and not have any political ramifications back home. >>is murphy, thank you for your time today. >>> a roadside bomb in afghanistan killed people, including six americans and among them, 25-year-old ann smettinghoff. she was on her way to donate books at a new school when their convoy was attacked.

this video of governor dan malloy moments ago signing the sweeping new gun limits into law. that bans more than one hundred firearms and background checks on all gun purchases and bans the sale of ammunition magazines with more than ten rounds. some are immediately lawmakers in response to the tragedy at sandy hook. many parents from newtown voiced support in favor of the controversial gun rules. joining me now to discuss it, wayne lapierre, the ceo of the national rifle association. and so the support for this new set of laws in connecticut was not universal, but many, many of the newtown parents got behind it, wayne, and i want to ask you, because cbs released to us a sound bite on 60 minutes, they'll be airing in some interviews with newtown parents, who sat down with scott pelley and this is in part why they believe they need these new laws and they want in particular the limitation on the magazines, you know, the amount of ammo you're allowed to carry around. listen to scott pelle and a couple of the newtown families. >> the legislature decide today limit the size of ma
