on the police investigation, i am joined by a former special agent with the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosivesiladelphia. what will the atf agents at the scene in las vegas be trying to establish right now? >> first of all, they will be trying to establish how mr. paddock was able to obtain the firearms. my understanding is that most of the firearms, if not all of them, were actually purchased by paddock legally in the u.s. they were purchased from several different states, but again, all purchased legally. laura: what do you make of the kind of automatic fire weapon that the gunman seems to have used? >> there's a couple of different weapons that were within the hotel room could have been made to fire auto. i think anyone watching the video clip and listening to the sounds of firing of the weapon in the video clearly can see, and i can tell you it absolutely is fully automatic fire, so that's another thing that the agents will be looking at, to try and determine what kind of accessory was either placed on the weapon to enable it to fire ifa fully auto manner, or there was any modification mad

of republicans talk about that right now. and we're hearing the nra say, look, maybe it's worth the bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms and explosivesing another look at these bump stocks to see whether they should be regulated. however -- >> yeah, hold on -- >> the nra did ask to loosen up a whole bunch of regulations. >> the nra was trying to trade bump stocks in order to get everybody in this country allowed to carry concealed weapons. >> sure. >> i was struck by one of the guys you spoke to in that package, ali, and the man who said there's this argument that you're not going to stop a crazy person. you're not going to stop a bad person no matter how much you try there's always going to be rapists, et cetera. but there's a difference between owning a gun for many and owning an arsenal of guns or owning guns that make the very easy to kill a lot of people at once. it seems like is there any understanding when you talk to folks out there that the second amendment is there for a reason, you can own your gun, but does it extend to allowing an individual to own 47 guns, high powered semiautomatic guns that have a modification that wi

at a baseball field in june, are calling for a review of bump stocks at the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosivescalise says anything else done on capitol hill would likely be a slippery slope that threatens americans second amendment right to bear arms. here are some numbers to consider. the las vegas shooting was the 273rd mass shooting of 2017. that's according to the nonprofit group, gun violence archive. defined as when four or more people were shot and/or killed in a single incident. another number. a recent university of washington study reported that the u.s. has more gun violence than most other prosperous countries. and a third, investigators say 12 of the 23 rifles recovered from the las vegas gunman were retrofitted with bump stocks. erica, that's where the debate stands. that's where we stand, post that horribleness in las vegas. what about in capitol hill? are we going to see legislation to get rid of his bump stocks, or are we just going to see a tweak to federal regulations? >> well, it remains to be seen and it's probably too early to say. but based on how the debate is starting

stocks on at least two occasions the national rifle association is calling on the bureau of alcohol tobacco firearms and explosives to immediately review whether these devices comply with federal law now what is interesting to note is that the n.r.a. is own gun ranges already ban these these in from the stocks that everyone's been talking about and their reasoning is that they make the weapon less accurate and they decrease safety pretty fascinating stuff slide by or the company that makes them actually put a halt on selling them but they did not say it was because of the you know because of the tragedy this week so i guess that's rather just kind of suspicious timing that they just miraculously decided to not sell these this piece of appliance with one of these weapons i think a lot of people are are are quite surprised to that the national rifle association association would even come forward and say hey we should rethink this considering we've seen you know their push for years and years and years we know it's not gun law if it's a gun it's not community organization it's not there for responsible gun owners it

. >> the nra statement calls for the federal bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives to review rapid fire devices, it does not mention congress. president trump signaling he's willing to look into the matter. listen to house speaker paul ryan. >> the point is we all have to get more educated as to what these are, how they became available in the first place. was it a regulatory misstep by atf some number of years ago, and we all know and believe that fully auto weapons are illegal and so this a big gap that need tsz to be closed and if so, how to close it. >> various members of congress watching youtube to figure out what these are. legislation will be introduced next thursday. let's bring in former at executive via skype this morning to talk about who owns the responsibility of this. the because the nra made it seem as though it is on the atf and here's what kellyanne conway said to chris cuomo on "new day" yesterday. >> we are hearing from so many legislators and individuals in this country and you read it publicly too. they never heard of a bump stock before. so, i did know

former special agent in charge for bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms and explosives here in philadelphia tells us that he believes mental health must have played a big factor in the massacre. >> this incident is so out of left field essentially what i believe you have is an individual with some type of mental illness and he is going out there trying to kill literally, kill as many people as he could. >> people in and around las vegas are working to heel to day a massive memorial of white crosses stand at welcome to fabulous las vegas sign. fifty-eight crosses will be in place there for the next 40 days. >>> in the wake of the tragedy in las vegas the gun october fest gun show kick off in time today in montgomery county. organizers say that gun safety will be on the agenda. gun october fest occupies three rooms at philadelphia greater expo center in oaks and one of the largest gun shows in the east coast this year as in years pennsylvania organizers say there will be safety classes available for patrons and vendors, focused on keeping guns locked and put away properly. >>> a new jersey ma

on at least two occasions, the national rifle association is calling on the bureau of alcohol , tobacco, firearms and explosives to immediately review whether these devices comply with federal law." the white house today signaled a willingness to consider such a ban and speaker ryan followed suit. >> speaker: fully automatic weapons have been outlawed for many many years. this seems to be a way of going around that, so obviously we need to look at how we can tighten up the compliance with this law, so that they are, fully automatic weapons are banned. >> lou: a dozen bump stocks were found in the las vegas shooter's hotel room. new reports say president trump will dismantle one of the greatest foreign policy disaster s of the obama administration. sources familiar with the president's thinking now say the president will non-certify the iran nuclear deal, declaring next week that it is not in the national interest. if true, president trump would be keeping a pivotal campaign promise that help propel him to the white house. >> president trump: it's probably the worst deal ever negotiated of any kind. i'm not even

that puts in the court of the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives. ld move to regulate bump stocks. it means members of congress won't actually have to vote gun legislation. >>> that is funny to hear a female talk about routes. like funny. >> carolina panthers quarterback cam newton losing sponsorships over that comment. tonight he is trying to change the conversation by apologizing. darren? >> reporter: cam newton apologizes. he posted the apology on social media this evening. here is what he had to say. >> if you are a person who took offense to what i said, i sincerely apologize to you. during this process i lost sponsors and fans. i realize the joke is really on me. and i learned a valuable lesson from this and to the -- the young people who see this, i hope that you learn something from this as be better than me. to the reporters, to the journalists, to the moms, super moms, to the daughters, the sisters, and the women all around the world, i sincere lease apologize and hope that you could forgive me. >> i must say this, his apology seemed sincer

republicans, not to mention the nra, want the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives, the atf to consider tweaking a regulation to ban the devices. >> the issue of gun violence taken up by "saturday night live" as well. >> the investigation into the tragedy in las vegas this week has sparked a larger debate in america between people who want common sense gun control and people who are wrong. this shouldn't be a partisan issue. the guy had 47 guns. no one should own 47 of anything. if you own 47 cats, you are not a responsible pet owner. you're a crazy cat lady. this guy bought 33 of his guns in the past year, and that didn't set off any kind of alert? if i buy $100 worth of chik-fil-a, i get a text message from my bank that says did you just purchase $100 of chik-fil-a? please, call and tell thus is fraud. >> why is it so hard to get gun control in this country? i mean, who are these delicate snowflakes that we can't just tell no, you're not allowed to have 40 guns anymore, earl. from now on, you can have one gun, max, and six bullets. if you can't hit what you're shooting

in at least two occasions, the national rifle association is calling on the bureau of alcohol tobacco firearms and explosivesview whether these comply with federal law. back with the panel. judge, we don't usually see the nra doing anything as far as this, when it comes to this. obviously. >> we were talking in the break about whether this is truly gun-control. surely for the people that have been frustrated, the democrats, progressives, those few republicans who want some sort of gun control, they will rejoice if this is passed. but it actually will effect a very, very minuscule amount of weapons that are out there. the congress has, in 1934, banned automatic weapons. in 1986, the reagan administration, they tinkered with the statute a little bit and said if you had something made before 1986 and you only used it on your property, you can still own it. but they defined automatic weapons in such a way that the bump stock, the modification of the semiautomatic, does not turn it into a federally defined automatic. it doesn't shoot 400 grounds per minute. bottom line, i don't think mrs. pelosi has much to rejoi

they're saying the niefl rife association is calling on the bureau of alcohol, tobacco firearms and explosivesimmediately review whether these devices comply with federal law. the fra believes that devices that allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations. and they're talking about the device. >> the bump clip. >> the bump stock. is that an attempt, do you think, to dodge legislation on capitol hill by asking the atf to handle it? are they putting this off on someone else? >> a 100%, yeah. they're not calling for legislation. they're calling from regulation from something within a federal government they assume is going to be friendly to them. on top of which this is a no-brainer. who could possibly oppose this device that turns a semiautomatic into something much more deadly. i worry that by coming out and saying we're willing to do something about this by getting republican lawmakers to do the same it will mean that nothing beyond it happens. they'll use this as saying we're not intransigent. we want to solve problems when our

stocks on at least two occasions, national rifle association is calling on the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosivesimmediately review whether these devices comply with federal law. the nra believes that devices designed to allow semi-automatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations." many say the bump stocks regulation does not go near far enough to prevent future mass shootings. legislators are now introducing a bill to deal with bump stocks, but many are saying that congress must go further. we go to las vegas where we're joined by annette magnus-marquart, executive director of the nevada-based battle born progress. welcome to democracy now! i am so sorry what has happened in las vegas, what has happened in your city, this mass killing come the single largest one by a lone gunman in u.s. history. can you talk about what the nra is doing? rarely has it ever sent it would do anything but clearly, the , they'reis so enormous saying, ok, let's deal with this one thing. >> yeah, and thank you for that. it has been a terrible week in las vegas. i appr

and heard remarkable new stories of survival. we've also talked to police and the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives. this morning we know important new details about how and where stephen paddock got his weapons. we know he bought 47 guns legally and the atf tells us he purchased 33 firearms in the last year alone and a majority of them are rifles. some of them were high-end models with custom made features, like scopes. the atf tells cbs news that none of the purchases set off any red flags. we're also getting our first look inside the hotel suite where paddock orchestrated his massacre. while his motive remains a mystery, it's clear he was armed for an even longer siege. this police body cam video shows the relentless firepower. first responders were up against sunday night. for up to 11 minutes, stephen paddock shot concert goers with seemingly endless bursts of gunfire. over a dozen volleys in all. he had been stockpiling his firearms since 1982. according to jill snyder, a special agent in charge at the bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms. >> how many firearms were purchased in the last year

act by the obama administration a group of nine gop senators is asking the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives the regulation. in a letter to the head of the atf on friday, the senator said in part, unfortunately we're all now keenly aware how this device operates. we believe this renewed review and determination will keep our citizens safe and insure that federal law is enforced. earlier this week the nra may have paved the way for that request when it announced it supported that idea as well. >> what the nra has said, we ought to take a look at that, see if it is in compliance with federal law, and it's worthy of additional regulation. that being said, we didn't saban. we didn't say confiscate. reporter: despite that agreement, democratic leaders are criticizing these efforts, arguing that by simply changing regulations rather than passing new laws, republicans are trying to avoid making any meaningful changes to gun control. >> they are going to say if you give them bump stocks, it will be a slippery slope. i certainly hope so. but i don't think bump stocks should be a substitute for the ba

time again in countries across the world the association is calling on the bureau of alcohol and tobacco and firearms and explosivesse bump stocks devices comply with laws. >> that's the latest statement from the nra, i will send it back to you guys. michelle, i believe i am tossing it back to you >> thank you very much >> at the same time, something they have been pushing for to make it more national for concealed carry regulation to make it easier and more systematic >> concealed carry or open carry, too >> yes, more national system that makes it more of a driver's license zone >> i believe nevada has an open carrier but not concealed carrying that. >> in the meantime after the massacre, there is been a run as you can imagine on bump stocks they are out of stock where ever they have been sold and on the website for one of the manufacturing slide fire they cannot service the orders as we see with the threat of tighter gun regulation and people going out and buying guns, they're buying bump stocks >> all right, we'll take a quick break tashe dow continues to rally forward. we'll be right back. they don't invest in
