what's interesting is two years ago under boehner i was able to get an amendment to the floor of theouse. but paul ryan is not allowing it. two years ago i offered a bill that defunded all of washington, d.c.'s gun control laws. 20 democrats voted for it. and some of those democrats are sitting on the floor today demanding more gun control. so they need to figure out which side of this they are on. kennedy: they have to figure out what side they are on when you talk about lone tbhostles this country and figuring out in a safe and responsible manner that did not compromise american civil liberties. how to address some of these issues. making guns illegal doesn't address any of the issues brought up by the orlando shooting. these are empty gestures that make our country less safe. >> i want to have the debate. this is the best example where background checks can't stop everything. here is a guy who passed hour and hours of training to get a class g license in florida he had a psychiatric background check done on him an carried a gun as a condition of work. and how are you going to keep
