a gun to threaten or injure a victim. in a study by susan sorenson and douglas leavy conducted with over 400 women in domestic violence shelters in california, two-thirds of the abused women who reported a firearm in their home said an intimate partner used a gun against them with 71.4% threatening to shoot or kill her, and 5.1% actually shooting at her. among the most rigorous research available on factors that influence a woman's likelihood of homicide a the national 12 city case controlled study of intimate partner homicide by a husband, boyfriend, ex-husband or ex-boyfriend conducted by myself and my colleagues. in the study we compared a group of abused women who were murdered by their partner or ex-partner to another group of abused women who were not. controlling for other factors we found that gun access or ownership increased the risk of homicide over and above prior domestic violence by 5.4 times. gun access was the strongest risk factor for an abused woman to be killed by her partner or ex-partner. when the per

as a person who owns guns, a member of the nra, a conservative, are you worried or do you have any concerns over requirements of law that would close the gun show loophole and in fact require that we inquire of all purchasers whether they are in fact prohibited from purchase because of a conviction or because of the state of mental instability. >> none whatsoever. i believe most gun owners would agree with me. there should be a background checks done. >> i have from downstate illinois part of most families and they would agree with you. >> most of my friends are hunters, nra members. we often speak of this. i have not had a person yet say no and just to me it is common sense. as a gun owner masterly to not want comes to fall into the hands of criminals or abusers. it makes the rest of. >> professor, do you believe that victims of domestic abuse are safer if their abusers are permitted to carry guns while the subject of a temporary restraining orders to back you have to turn your microphone on. >> i think that to know that that person actually is an abuser, i am assuming it is a he, entitled

crime with a gun. ke a previous speaker, i think crimes for guns would go way down. why would you commit a crime with a gun if you'd knew that you are going to jail forever and ever. you are in georgia. signed bill was being "the atlanta journal-constitution" did a poll on this law and the voters roundly disapproved of the expansion of the gun rights laws , despite being more likely to believe that gun ownership helped to protect people from becoming victims of a crime. 59% gave the house bill that we are talking about a thumbs down. the results come even as 57% of georgia voters said they believed held -- owning a gun helped to protect people, others thought that it put people's safety at risk. where do you fall? this is not a democracy, this is an oligarchy. this is an example of a republican representative for you. clearly, as the recent research that was peer-reviewed shows, we don't live in a democracy, we live in an oligarchy, stop hermit -- stopped attending that we do. ok, bill, texas, good morn

all i could think about was this guy holding a big gun. the whole time i thought we all was going to die. >> while almost everyone tries to take cover, the cameras cover gerald cole, a regular at the waffle house, making a bold move and attempting to escape. >> once he started i thought i had a chance to break and run to the door. and i looked there was two guys in masks. one had a shotgun, and i broke and run towards the door and there was another guy with a mask on told me that, if you move, i'll blow your brains out. i thought i was going to die. >> instead, the gunman strikes gerald cole on the head, knocking him to the floor. >> he hits me on the right side of my face. at one point, i just thought that my life that was just over. >> i personally thought that they were going to rough him up because he was trying to get out. >> terrified, cole stays face down on the ground while the gunman continues to rob the other customers. >> my friends that were sitting in front of me, she had hid a purse behind her back and he saw that and came and

the phrase has become a boogie man of the gun control activist. what we are really seeing here, by the way, is opening of a new front against our gun rights. they effectively still need loss in the air term gun control movement. of course, we can never give up. we always have to fight. kind of like a cancer. the moment you take your eye off them, they come back. but they decided they're not gaining much ground there so they turn add way from pa -- turned away our ability to own, possess and carry gun but use guns in self-defense. now they're becoming less gun controlist in the near-term sense and more self-defense controlists. we try to limit the places we could carry the gun that couldn't work. you can carry it so proper, but if you ever use it, we're going to destroy you economically. destroy you politically finance we're lucky, get you sent to ail the rest of your life. stand your ground makes it far more difficult to accomplish what we like to accomplish f. we ever use guns in self-defense. a lot of confusion stooned your ground. thepped to use

lack of gun loopholes that allow people to buy guns without a bru background check. ink if there was an effort to strengthen gun laws. >> i'll yield to my friend here because there are 500 gun places in houston, texas, and they have a dramatically lower crime rate. but do you want to comment for a second on this whole confusion? >> i think the point is we're not prosecuting the people that are violating the laws. >> yes. >> it's illegal to carry a gun across the state lines in chicago into illinois. that's illegal. >> it is. >> so how do you enforce that? do you enforce that by taking away somebody's right in indiana to own a gun or do you enforce it by prosecuting the very people that break the law? >> you do it by doing both. i don't think anybody would argue that you would do one over the other. you have to prevent criminals, gun traffickers from getting guns in indiana and in cook county. right now you can get for a gun dealer you don't have to have any license in illinois. you need a license to have a nail salon but not to be a gun dealer. >> but the federal law

he -- he's entitled to have a hearing first before his gun or any other weapon is taken away. >> doesn't the issuance of a temporary restraining order suggest in most cases a hearing? >> it does, but not in these bills. they get -- they are able to accuse the person, their guns or weapons are taken away, then they have the hearing. >> but in these bills, we're talking about convicted stalkers, convicted domestic violence perpetrators, and those who are subject in the blumenthal bill to a temporary restraining order. in each of those cases, aren't we talking about a court hearing before that determination? >> we have been in the past. i think that this law would change it so that the -- in order to protect the woman, there is this opportunity to make the allegation that guns get taken away then they have the hearing. >> there's no question that there can be ex parte hearings because in some instances, the person who's subject to the order won't appear. that's a reality. i've been through that many years ago when i practiced law. so are we in a

i said i am going to get a gun in washington, d.c. and i heard it was difficult so how about a write for the paper. washington, d.c. has gun control laws that nowhere else in the nation exist. and until the 30-year ban of ownership on bans was overturned and even after the supreme court act they put together all of these gun control laws. so i started going through it and had to take a written test and a class. and this is just to own a gun just to be clear. it ended up, what i thought would take two weeks took four months and it was 17 steps and that was to buy legally one gun i am not allowed to take out of the house. i hear smirks and i bet you are from the west and south. and those not reacting are from the northeast. when i say it took 17 steps and four months to keep one gun at home people are like i don't get it. it is so hard in the blue states to exercise your right to keep and bear arms. whereasif you go across the bridge to virginia which is a mile away, you walk into a gun store and you are not a felon, mentally ill, drug a

a new system. the last center to prevent gun violence has been tracking this. there's a discretionary system, where someone who wants to carry a gun in public has to apply for a permit and law enforcement aprofits it -- approves it. the alternative is it law enforcement has to approve a permit as long as requirements are met. a person may look into a background and make sure they are responsible before they can carry a handgun in public. that makes sense. >> michael is with the law center to prevent gun violence. thank you for being here. >> thank you so much. >> after the break on "america tonight", the sound of strain. big voices behind some of broadway's biggest hits. sheila macvicar tells us why they are at more risk than ever of falling silent. >> al jazeera america presents a self portrait of generation now... >> so many of my friends is pregnant... >> i feel so utterly alone... >> you need to get your life together >> i'm gonna do whatever needs to be done... >> ya boy is lookin' out to becoming a millionaire... >> an intimate look at what our kids are fa

you can see the guns, and they are a variety of guns that you will see. and this is what happened that a lot of forts. what guns you could get a hold of. you have everything from field artillery to bigger guns. the fort itself was supposed to cover the little river turnpike, the alexandria railroad and the leesburg in alexandria pike. but we are on a high point. so the guns can fire for a long-distance and cover those areas. the original fort that was built for 24 guns, when it was redone in 1864, it held 36 guns. from 540 yards to 818 yards with a bigger fort and 12 additional guns. you had basically during the war green guns and black guns with bronze and iron. usually the bronze was smooth bore. and the black guns were rifled guns. and the rifled guns had a better range and fired better. but a gun like this was a good anti-personnel weapon. there were types of ammunition you could use. plus at times you could put chains and fire it at an enemy. the chains could mow down a number of men. this type of gun became a good anti-personnel weapon. with this pla
