>> i agree we need to fix nix, but i don't agree that that's enough. if you look at certain common factors of shooting after shooting, it's almost always males. i mean, literally every time it's males. and a predominant number of young males, males under 21, to try to make it a little harder for them to acquire these military weapons. these weapons are designed not to hunt for elk. they're designed to kill people. kids shouldn't be getting their hands on these things. >> so, couple points of push back. one, the hunting community is saying the ar-15 is coming up in popularity as a hunting rifle and there are articles about that now. it's placed in the top 10 or 12 of weapons that can be used for hunting, of course, all the other ones are volt action or shotguns. so that's one aspect about the evolution of the gun culture with the ar-style rifle. the other is the age limit. is the age limit a little bit of a distraction because in most i think it's only two of the last dozen or so school shootings have we seen the shooter is within that age of 18 to 21.

you've put in your fixed nix and see how it is. go ahead. >> thank you, mr. president, for getting us together and expressing your sincere concern about this and trying to get us to a solution. i agree with you that leaving this town and going home empty-handed is not acceptable. the public demands that we act. we know how hard it is to get people together on a bipartisan basis, but believe it or not, at least in one case, senator murphy and i, we have a 46 co-sponsors to the fix nix bill. i believe it's a good place to start. as you know, southerland springs, we lost 26 people when guy who was in the air force, a convicted felon. he was convicted of domestic violence. he was less than honorably discharged from the military. none of which was uploaded in the background checks by the fbi. that's only as good as the data put into it. so senator murphy and 46 senators have what we think is a start. it's not the end-all be-all. there's other things that people want to add to it. we talked about the bump stock issue that senator feinstein cares passionately about

you've put in your fix nix. let's see how it is and we'll go ahead. >> thank you, mr. president. >> thank you. >> for getting us together and expressing your sincere concern about this and trying to get us to a solution. and going home empty handed is unacceptable. it's hard to get people together on a bipartisan basis. sutherland springs, we lost 26 people when a guy, convicted felon, convicted of domestic violence, less than honorable discharge from the military, none of which was uploaded into the background check system maintained by the fbi. that's only as good as the data put into it. so 46 senate colleagues on the bipartisan basis have what we think is a start. it's not the end all be all. other things that people want to add to it. we talked about the bump stock issue that i know senator feinstein cares passionately about. >> i'm going to write that out. we can do that with an executive order. i'm essentially going to write it out. you won't have to worry about bump stock. shortly, that will be gone. we can focus on other things. frankly, i don't know that it w

they've nixed a few things. around the time of the charlottesville protests and then the killing, came up with an idea they wouldn't allow me to do because it was just -- i think they were concerned about the tenor of the country, and i think if i had offered that idea at any other time, that probably would have gone through. so, you know, something they've got to think about. >> do they have right of first refusal -- [inaudible] >> i'm not syndicated. i'm exclusive to the "washington post." i do other work but, yes, they have the first rights. >> [inaudible] >> i did. they ran it. [inaudible] >> people? oh, yes, all cartoonists gets threatened at some point or another. depending on what is happening at the time. after 9/11 was a difficult time. i did a cartoon about senator cruz and i got a lot of threats for that. so, yeah, i think when everybody's emotions are rung eye is when you get the most. mostly we get e-mails tells us how stupid we are. >> talking about having been -- cartoonist for the past 25 years.

fix nix is important but it closing the with 40% of gun sales that are not subject to any background check whatsoever and that's a significant problem. with three other members of congress, i introduced a bump stock bill. we took a few weeks after the las vegas shooting. we didn't write it right away. we put together a really thoughtful piece of legislation. , denarott from michigan titus, a democrat from las vegas, nevada, brian fitzpatrick from pennsylvania, the four of us sat down at my office sent but together really thoughtful legislation that was not an thateach and simply said if a device turns a semiautomatic weapon into a machine gun, treat that device the way we treat a machine gun. we were ready to go. all the groups we thought were on board until we introduce the ,ill and then one organization the national rifle association said no. and any momentum we had was stopped not because they said no but because the speaker or somebody essentially said if the nra says no, they have a veto on any piece of legislation. rulee have the hastert which is an insane republican rule that

having said that, i think the fix nix everyone can agree to. moving forward i hope leadership will take up what can pass. we get into a challenging space where toomey said it couldn't get past the senate. the frustration is there are those that may be be engaged in the vocabulary debate. this bill would not have prevented the tragedy that happened, but this bill is common sense. so your inability to do even the common sense stuff really frustrates me and i'm asking myself, why don't you do the stuff that should get done regardless -- >> it should be easy. >> that's where i think most of the country is. 70, 80% of the country has a gun safety reform set of principles we could easily put into action and that's where i am on it. >> the polling certainly shows that. your district has been redistricted. it looks like they have put you into a new version of your district that if, in fact, those lines hold, would have gone for hillary clinton for -- by 9 points. are you going to run again for reelection? >> interestingly, in 2012, mitt romney ron the

the fix nix act. it's important to understand with many of these mass shootings if the laws on the books had been implemented many of them simply would not have happened in the first place. the fix nix act has the support of the nra, a bipartisan bill. it sounds like the white house is going to be making a push behind it. what it does is offers incentives to the different federal government agencies in order to properly implement the laws on the books in order to put criminal information into that database. in terms of gun control itself, that is not something that it sounds like this white house is going to support. it is not realistically something that is going to pass through both houses of congress. school safety is going to be a top priority for this administration in the coming months and they will focus on realistic and implementable solutions. >> molly: finding common ground that can be so difficult. democrats said they would like to see things go farther than just revamping the federal backg

we created the nix system. we're the ones for over 25 years that have been saying these states need to report these dangerous people. i want to get the 7 million people that are a danger to others, i want to prevent them from getting a firearm. are you? >> i want to prevent -- >> we have background checks. >> for all gun purchases. not for every one. >> give me an example. >> there's no mandatory background checks for private sales or gun shows. >> well, most gun shows have background checks. this is all federally regulated. the penalties are terrifying and severe. there is no loophole. it's a criminal act to acquire a firearm if you're -- are you going to have politicians on the program and demand that they have their state s comply by reporting the prohibitive possessors to the system? >> i think that is a great idea. president trump said the nra is ready to do new things. is there any new proposal that you're willing to support now that you weren't before? >> we have been calling for proposals to make sure t

>> and that's why i'm on the fix nix bill because i agree. that is not complete. we are not getting the information from some rural departments, from some federal entities, we're not getting the information into that background system. so, that absolutely needs to be fixed. that's why i think that legislation needs to be pushed, and i'm currently on it. >> all right. let me move to the russia situation. you're on the senate intelligence committee, the one committee in washington that i think still is working in a bipartisan manner. your colleague on that committee, angus king, said the following. i want to get you to respond on the other side. >> my problem is, i talk to people in maine who say the whole thing is a witch hunt and it's a hoax because the president told me. we cannot confront this threat, which is a serious one, with a whole of government response when the leader of the government continues to deny that it exists. >> senator, that was on tuesday. we got the mueller indictments friday. the president has tweeted about the mueller indictments 13 times

saw with the charleston church shooting as well a failure with the submitting of information to the nixe. so that's a big concern. i think the broader question here we've seen the breakdown of government, the breakdown of the system particularly in the shooting with florida. police were at the home of this individual 39 times. the f.b.i. was alerted twice. florida mental health institute looked at this individual yet he still walked free. so how do we prevent that from happening? >> bill: it seems the conversation goes so firmly to gun control and the debate there rather than looking at all the things that led up to this horrible tragedy in parkland, florida, including self-policeing. this community said there were red flags about this individual. the f.b.i. was alerted and they dropped the ball but so quickly the conversation is centered around guns. >> quite frankly without the gun and the type of gun he could not have done that amount of damage. gun control is not just about the gun. it is a multi-faceted problem that includes mental illness and law enforcement and the type of weapon

behind a measure that would improve the reporting system for the instant criminal background check, the nix system. senators cornyn supporting the bill. it would give incentives to state and federal agencies to report information that they are supposed to be reporting to the nix system. it is not clear how that would really advance the debate, though it may tighten up the reporting for the criminal background check. >> jon: john roberts at the white house. john, thank you. at this moment in tallahassee, florida high school students many of them from parkland high school, are descending on tallahassee. they are demanding some kind of gun control legislation out of their state leaders there. these are shooting survivors from parkland high school. the terrible scene of the events last wednesday when a former student is accused of marching back to school and gunning down 17 people. >> molly: remarkable pictures as we shift back to washington this session with gun violence victims comes a day after the president ordered attorney general jeff sessions to craft new gun control regulations. joining

it is a background checks bill known as a fix nix bill. what it does is intense fiez -- democrats said they weren't for that either. they want a fuller debate. a wider debate and more expanse s sifsive debate. i talked to one aide and he told me people think this time is different. the reality is when it comes to guns it is not. >> this bill on background checks, does it seem it would have enough support to pass? >> it definitely has enough property to pass the senate. just a matter of getting through the logistical hurdles. does it have support to pass the house. the house has passed this bill but paired it with -- for democrats in the senate, that is a nonstarter. so as long as that still has to be paired with even the small bore fix nix background bill, there are problems there. it has put a point on this. speaking to a democratic snore who is very strong on the gun rights issue very strong on trying to push forward some type of gun restrictions and i asked him plainly, do you think anything is going to happen right now. he looked at me

what he's referring to maybe fixing the nix system. which is small.big specific things he can do. if he wants to to be a leader, those are the things he should be doing. >> you should ban handguns too? they are semi-automatic. what's the difference. >> mass killings. >> the big rallying cry for nra is enforce the laws on the book. three big holes. background checks. only required for federally licensed gun dealers. 60% of gun transfers go to people with no background check. the second that states have to voluntarily provide information to be included in nix. the data base that the background check is run against. 13 states comply. the federal government can't make them do it. the third is only eleven states require the reporting of stolen firearms. and stolen firearms are used in crime. it didn't happen in this case. we're talking about the facts of the immediate case. in general these are ways that we can enforce the laws on the books without banning anything. just as a starting point. >>> when we continue. new indictments against paul manafort and r

they can talk about bump stocks and they can talk about fix nix. the cornyn bill no one objects to it. those kinds of things can pass. i think you'll see a bigger push obviously from the other side for more and this sort of just wait and see on where president trump is going to land. whether or not -- look, it was remarkable he said for the first time that he's willing to push the nra. he said that before. >> yes. i want to stop you there for one second because i did think we need to take a beat on that. that is i think vintage trump and why so many -- part of why so many voted for him. i never heard a politician say that. >> if he can back it up the next couple weeks, it will be a real br breakthrough. >> that's the problem. he hasn't really done that. although in deference to the president on this one, he did check the box early on saying we have to do something. we've heard nothing from ryan or mcconnell. the president is out in front of in terms of motivating change. who do you think needs to deliver here? i'm a lot more skeptical about what th

the dealer contacts nix, which is part of the fbi by phone or by internet. they then reference three data bases. the nics and the ncic, the national criminal information center. if none of these data bases finds anything wrong, the gun sale can proceed. this takes a matter of minutes. it can take days. if they have something to follow up on, they could delay it. if any data base does find a problem, federal agents, this is interesting, have three business days to determine whether to deny the gun sale. if they don't make a determination in three days, by default the gun sale doesn't get c canceled, the sale could go through. if after three days, you could buy the gun. what could lead to a denial. if a potential buyer has a criminal history, a history of drug use, mental health problems, is not a u.s. citizen, has a history of domestic violence or dishonorably discharged from the military -- all of these things don't necessarily disqualify you, but they may delay the process. some of them will -- it will disqualify you from getting a gun. now this stuff, the

is tot of the fix nix encourage estates to provide information. some states are good with it and others are not, but also to force federal agencies like the military branches, to report personnel who clearly should not have been able to purchase a firearm. the: it strengthens background check system, but would it expand it, covering purchases at gun shows? guest: it does not do that, but what it does do is, keep in mind the existing system was greatly expanded to include mental health a number of years ago, and that has resulted in close to 200,000 people being denied a purchase of a firearm because of a mental health issue. so much of what that system is today is working fine, but there are gaps. one of the obvious gaps i see in relation to the shooting on valentine's day in florida, was this young man had multiple times, some say over 30 occasions, where people or police were called to his home because of violence or other threatening issues, yet the fact that this young individual, that i had never been adjudicated, meant it had never been repo

you've put in your fix nix. let's see how it is and we'll go ahead. sen. john cornyn: thank you, mr. president. thank you for getting us together and expressing your sincere concern about this and trying to get us to a solution. i agree with you that leaving this and going home empty-handed is not acceptable. the public demands that we act. we know how hard it is to get people together on a bipartisan basis. believe it or not in one case, senator murphy and i, we have a 46 cosponsors to the fix nix bill and the house is passed its version of it. i believe this is a good place for us to start. as you know sutherland springs, , we lost 26 people when a guy, convicted felon, he was convicted of domestic violence, less than honorable discharge from the military, none of which was uploaded into the background check system maintained by the fbi. that's only as good as the data that is put into it. so senator murphy and i and 46 senate colleagues on the bipartisan basis have what we think is a start. it's not the end all be all. there are other things that people

so the orders of protection, making sure that's in nix. as governor scott mentioned, red flag laws, making sure that law enforcement and families have a way still using due process to actually remove guns from people that might be that imminent threat. >> right. >> i applaud you on bump stocks. that's one of those things that there is no other reason. and we could certainly look at the higher magazine capacity as well as one of those things that you probably don't need. and i encourage you, as you go on the path of looking at what you can do in schools, i used to be attorney general and ran the law enforcement academy too and graduate these peace officers each and every year. i want to make sure if somebody is armed in a school, that they have that training, that we know that he or she, it's much more -- as i think you recognized -- than just carrying concealed, that they have that training that i as a parent can say that this person under pressure will know what to do with a firearm before we start introducing the firearms into our school

it was my amendment on the floor to add money to the next -- the nix system. now they want to take it away. they want to remove d 20 million. and we know -- $20 million. and we know there's huge problems with the system. we saw that from the terrible shooting in texas where the former air force man shot and killed a bunch of people in a church in texas. we found out that he had problems, should have prohibited him from being a gun owner. but his information wasn't passed on. and we saw in the last few days where the air force has stepped up it -- stepped it up. they added 4,000 entries into the system, of service members who should be prohibited. so there's a big void in there. so you're going to deal with it by taking $20 million away? it makes no sense. congress needs to step up and do its job. ms. pelosi: thank you for your leadership. we'll be continuing to meet on this subject to try to respond. we shouldn't be responding, we should be preventing. and ould be anticipating have commonsense approaches to revent gun violence. 95%, a poll i saw this morning o

the one shift we've seen is the possibility that the fix nix legislation that the speaker talked about could make its way through on a quicker time line. it had overwhelming bipartisan support in the senate before all of this happened, and it's what they're talking about now. you didn't see the speaker close the door considering it as a stand alone measure. if the senate can get it passed. i do think that significant -- obviously they had been in agreement with the conservators beforehand that it was going to be attached to essentially a gun law, something that would loosen our gun laws, the and of course if the senate can get something done. the speaker seem to indicate today he hasn't made up his mind but didn't close the door to it. that's going to kick everything over to the senate. chuck schumer says this doesn't go far enough. paul ryan has trouble saying one way or another. >> kacie hunt thank you for that reporting. i want to bring in stephanie murphy of florida. you have a bill that you introduced on something called the dickey amendment. this is something that's been put in p

lawmakers are calling about a bill called fix nix.allows federal authorities to enter more data into the criminal instant background system. it is a far cry from the bigger and larger background check comprehensive proposals we saw in the wake of the sandy hook shooting back in 2013. we should also note that lawmakers have talked a little bit about raising the age at which you can purchase a rifle from 18 to 21. president trump talked about that last week. he seems to be backing off that proposal and the national rifle association is also opposed to doing that. not a whole lot of interest, perhaps, from conservatives to move on that. and two proposals we haven't seen much discussion of on kapt positively hi da -- capitol hill, limiting the size of the assault weapons ban. they're saying in the senate and the white house, there is not a lot of appetite for that. >> the president made it clear he's not anxious to move ahead on these very sensitive issues. >>> the president will have a chance to talk about gun control when he meets with

. >> the fix nix act that the president has supported to improve the national background check system is barn garnered support. not the specific action that advocates are calling for in the wake of the parkland massacre. >> we want to make sure we protect their process rights and lull skiegsal rights. this kid was clearly one of those people. >> with me is kacie. there is laws in place and he wants to tighten up the systems. >> yeah, the only real prospect for legislation right now is what is being trereferred to ase fix nics bill. the aircra force knew about it they didn't put the information into the nics database. they have been on this bill before this latest massacre and what happened is it has been become the central vehicle for the response to parkland. they're saying the democrats are saying we can't do just one small thing and do it in a day. chris murphy, take a look. >> we need to have an open debate that allows us to talk about measures that truly respond to the epidemic of gun violence. if they are only going to debate that bill, that's not something that i can support. l

because this fix nix bill which goes to the background check thing has widespread report among republicans and democrats. it would sail through the house and sail through the senate and by attaching this other provision, which democrats in the senate are likely to kill, you put at risk the background check bill. the other way they can do it is put both of them on the floor separately, send them to the senate and let the senate democrats take responsibility for killing what is an interesting piece of legislation and probably would help some with gun crime too. >> we'll be talking about this for a while. still ahead, amid the partisan divide over gun control, are there some solutions for curtailing gun violence that both sides can agree on? ing. ...and help you feel more strength and energy in just two weeks! i'll take that. -yeeeeeah! ensure high protein. with 16 grams of protein and 4 grams of sugar. ensure. always be you. so allstate is giving us money back on our bill. well, that seems fair. we didn't use it. wish we got money back on gym memberships. get money back hilarious. with claim

is it on the fix nix thing, which seems to have support. we don't know what mitch mcconnell or paul ryan think at this point. they are on recess. difficult to see them wanting to put as something as difficult or contentious as gun regulations on the docket at this point given the fact it's an election year. with immigration reform, we had the same conversation about the president about immigration reform, him wanting to push the party on getting citizenship to the daca recipients, and here he's against the nra, but not in a position to lead his party and get anything substantial done. >> i want it let you respond to what was said earlier about the ar-15 and semiautomatic weapons pointing the blame at them. i don't think you agree? >> well, the answer to banning them? >> all semiautomatic rifles? >> i appreciate the honestly. the problem is that the courts and the institution stand in your way. >> i was trying to answer. >> go ahead. >> well, no, i mean, i think there could be things you can do if somebody wanted to have one. i have friends

from cnn, "trump signs bill nixing guns bill.""trump signs bill revoking background checks for people with mental illnesses." after the sandy hook shooting in which 20 first graders were murdered at school, the obama administration tried to strengthen gun purchase background checks. one way was through a new rule, through the social security administration. the rule would have added people who receive disability benefits for any one of a long list of mental impairments but three a representative payee, meaning someone else receives the money. they would have been added to the background check system, nics. that means they would have failed the background check to buy a gun. the rule was issued before president obama left office in december of 2016. there was plenty of support but also opposition. 11 groups spoke out against the rule. in a letter they wrote, "the belief that people who have psychiatric or neurological disabilities are prone to violence only perpetuates the stigma that's associated with these disabilities and hinder

: lawmakers floating a few proposals during congress's first day back in session, including the fix nix people, giving states and federal agencies ability to make more entries into the background check system, a draft proposal to race the purchase age for long guns and an assault weapons ban. >> alisyn and chris, it appears we're well in the middle of a major tweet storm by the president. he is ending about three days of silence on social media after tweeting on saturday night about russia, he's now back on tuesday morning tweeting about russia again. there's no word yet from the president on his twitter feed about the gun issue. he's simply tweeting about witch hunts, as you can see. >> abby, thank you very much. we'll get to that in a moment. we have cnn political director david chalian and reporter and editor at large for cnn politics, chris cillizza. we'll talk about the tweet storm. we have our umbrellas ready. let's talk about what's happening on the hill and in the white house with attempts to fight gun violence. david, this is going to take leadership, obviously, from the presid

is he talking about the fikz nix bill. is it about closing the private sale loophole where a person can buy a gun off craigslist or the internet without a background check? the president has not said. we don't really know what he's talking about. we do know there's no appetite, no indication among republican leaders who run congress to do anything about this issue and nothing is going to happen without dedicated, focus, consistent push by the president. >> let's bring the house speaker in to this. listen to the house speaker back home in wisconsin, let's not talk about taking away the rights of law-abiding citizens who back the second amendment when in this case and this is a fact, there were so many missed signals. >> this young man slipped through a whole bunch of cracks, not just a crack. he slipped through a bunch of cracks. he got to make sure that when law enforcement gets all these tips that that doesn't happen again. we got to make sure that people who are mentally unstable and we just passed a recent law on this d

the only thing we want to pass in the senate is the fix nix program. basically to ensure any information that should be sent to the national instant crime background check system would be sent there. now you have democrats like chuck shumer saying, we're not gonna let the senate pass that because it's suddenly going to be the republican answer. we're not gonna let them get away with that. that is a prescription for a dead lock. right now if you had to bet, i think you'd bet against anything meaningful happen. >> dana: you saw yesterday the house basically said, u.s. house, that raising the age limit on certain guns you can buy, that's not going to go anywhere. but yesterday in florida, the state house did pass that. i wonder if this is where we might see the state take action that then maybe comes to washington later on. but it might just have to be something that's done at that level. >> that may be. lot of people would say that's where it should happen at the state level in terms of education. there's always the dangers we've seen in other places. yo
