oppose concealed carry, too.any kind of carry. >> my problem is that we allow too many people to take weapons in the public -- >> do you oppose any kind of carry? >> we want to make sure that the people that are getting the weapons and carrying the weapons have been checked out to make sure they're not the sorts to cause problems. like the person who killed the people at the gym outside of pittsburgh, concealed carry permit. like the guy in pittsburgh that killed the cops, concealed carry permit. >> you don't support concealed carry permits. >> it works well in states where law enforcement has the opportunity to check the person out. >> that's the case in any venue. you just don't support it in any fashion. >> we make it too easy for people to get guns -- >> you think anybody is too dangerous to have a gun. >> i'm curious what lou thinks about it, do you think people should be bringing their guns to venues like this? >> let me put it this way, i believe in the individual rights of our constitution 100%, and i bel

can it be carried too far? if you were head of the secret service, would you let people come into presidential meetings carrying arms. >> no. >> what do you make of those who think that's a legitimate demand. >> to use the second amendment. >> that's in the a law. that's a security matter. and the secret service has every right to take a meeting where the president is and make sure nobody has a gun on them. that has nothing to do with passing a law keeping people from carrying a gun. in fact, i'm really mad because i got indicted they took my concealed carrier weapon license away from me. i think that's a violation of the second amendment. >> okay. thank you, sir. >> you bet. >> good to have you on. i don't think i'll ask him for his birth certificate. >> how about these shoes. >> i think you're going through some changes, sir. indications the president may be backing away from the public option. has liberals fired up. what can they do? the politics fix is next. this is "hardball" as you can see only on msnbc.

they want to allow residents to carry guns displayed and concealed. self-defense supplies inside and outside of the home. they overturned d.c.'s 32 year- old handgun ban. they're going back to court to take the right to on a handgun one step further. >> of the limitations of that case were that we wanted to secure the right to keep arms. we wanted to secure the other part, the right to bear arms. >> it prohibits gaum -- it is up to the city council to regulate carried arms, something that will not happen without a supreme court fight. the attorney general called the lawsuit and absurd. he is not alone. [unintelligible] >> some we spoke with agreed to carry a firearm on the streets is a bad idea. >> there are police officers on the street already. >> they point to the second amendment's right to bear arms. >> the criminals are going to have guns no matter what. >> we had a chance to talk to him over the phone today. the one city in the world you don't want carrying concealed weaps is the nation's capitol. three of the plaintiffs filed for applications

this guy in phoenix yesterday was carrying an ar-15 semi-automatic rifle. no permits required, no arrests made. you can believe these people are merely practicing their constitutional right to bear arms, but why are they doing it at presidential events? this country has a bad history of guns and presidential events starting in 1865 and running through garfield, mckinley, teddy roosevelt, who was shot at, fdr who was shot at. harry truman who was shot at. jfk. gerald ford who was shot at twice and ronald reagan was shot. let's get at it tonight. why are people bringing guns to presidential events? >>> and let's have a discussion about robert novak, the conservative columnist and provocateur. he knew how to shake things up. he died today. let's talk to pat buchanan and eleanor clift about him. they were two people who were with him, bob novak, when he hit television pack in the first place on the great -- it's still on the air, "mclaughlin group." >>> we begin with that new nbc poll that explains the heat over health care. it really does. nbc news chuck todd

he's carrying a rifle. are they helping their cause if they're trying to make a statement of health care reform, shows up with a gun? >> i think that's not a fair assumption. how do we know these people -- the blue dog democrats are pro-gun. >> campbell -- >> this is one guy, we're talking on national tv about one guy. >> health care, you have 40 plus kids on the south side of chicago killed every year because of guns. it impacts health care. if you want to have a health care conversation, mark, let's have one. this is not a gun conversation. leave guns at home. >> let's talk about the gun that save lives, those guns that protect good people from bad people who want to do bad things. let's talk about what happened at the holocaust museum in harlem. >> everybody, cool it. we're out of time. where we want to end this conversation, that's a conversation you can have bhout bringing guns to a crowded place y children and families are walking around trying to have a civil dialogue. i'm with roland on this. apprec

never to carry a gun unless it was loaded. he made fun of me for asking the questions because he's a second amendment guy -- he knows you have to water a loaded gun. >> you're making an assumption they were all loaded for these people. you're making a statement we don't really have any facts to back up. >> well, if they weren't loaded, chris is right, there's no point in carrying it. then it's just a piece of metal that's worthless. >> wait, hold on. then it's a political statement, isn't it? >> is it? is it a political statement or is it something else, alan? >> ron, you just said -- to make a statement you don't have to have it loaded. >> you know what -- >> that's true, but they did have it loaded, didn't they? at least one did have it loaded. >> second amendment is clear, gentlemen. the second amendment as interpreted by this supreme court is you have an individual right to bear arms. my question is this. you have a right to jump around on a pogo stick. you don't go to church on a pogo stick. there's a right place and a ri

carrie ann inaba? and carrie ann gives it a ten.ken a surprisingly erotic twist with carrie ann soaking wet. and finally aquaman? oh, aquaman, a four. let's go back to the podium. this young lady is kristen. we met her on the street. hi, christy. is that your own bathing suit? >> no, it's yours. >> well, it's not actually mine. [ laughter ] all right. well, christy, are you a good belly flopper? you don't seem to have much of a belly? >> i played water polo, so -- >> okay. >> it's a good belly. >> also, what is some graffiti on your side. >> it's an orchid. >> what does that mean? okay, you could be from buffalo. all right, uncle frank, count it down. >> christy, three, two, one, go. >> oh, you know, she dove into the pool which i think she probably relied on her training and accidentally -- yeah, didn't make much of a splash at all. let's see what guillermo thinks. guillermo rodriquez says -- all right. now, let's see what carrie ann inaba, what do you think? carrie ann says seven. i think carrie ann's mic has exploded. and finally

many people are carrying things to work, even though usually what they're carrying doesn't have anythingo do with their work. >> i have a donut, wallet, sunglasses, blackberry, makeup case, digital camera. >> rooney: a lot of dogs going to work. >> we're on our way to work. >> rooney: i should think women might be getting stronger than they used to be, too, because the bags they carry are certainly heavier. i hadn't realized women were so well organized, but one of the items most women are carrying is what they call a "planner." they carry planners and a bottle of water. >> my planner. >> my planner. >> water and planner and my wallet. >> rooney: when they left the house that morning, they planned to drink water, i guess. if people don't have something in their arms, they're carrying it on their back. backpacks are almost as common as pocket books. some of them are attached to the back of the person carrying them. you wonder what they have in there that's so important. >> there are some newspapers, some notebooks and various odds and ends i use for work. >> rooney: some backpacks are so

but he said he saw them every day and they carried them as well -- >> bonnie: carrie. >> -- cari. >>men end up being pregnant and sexually abused. they can't absorb all of this -- look at the consequences. >> i want to answer to something that cari said that's very important. women are in the battle front. when they are joining the military, they know they're going to iraq and afghanistan. all this is going to do is give them equal opportunity. they're as at risk as men are, that is already happening. >> bonnie: all right. we have to go from women at twoor women and chronological. more women than ever are being arrested for driving drunk. this doorgd new fb -- this accow fbi data, showing the number of women facing d.u.i. charges rose by 29% during a decade while arrests of men declined. men still drink more than women and are four times more likely to be arrested for drunken driving, but the gap is narrowing. in 2007, more than 150,000 women were arrested for drunk driving, and on average, women who have been drinking are involved in about 2,000 fatal accidents each year. just recen

>> why are you carrying an ar-15. i can't tell exactly what he said. we don't know at this point if that guy was protesting against the president or for the president, or maybe trying to make a point because he saw guys on the other side that were carrying weapons. i can't imagine -- you don't know the answer to that question, either, at this point, do you? >> reporter: well, i know the person i saw with an ar-15 different from that person was definitely against the president's policies. he was shouting things that suggested he certainly did not support the health reform effort or very many other policies of this president. someone affiliated with the democratic national committee who is here said that they heard one of these gentlemen say he was carrying a weapon because he could, that essentially, he has a second amendment right to do it, there is an open carry law that makes this legal in the state of arizona, as you noted at the top. i did not hear that myself. i want to tell you that was someone affiliated with the dnc, that's what she overheard.

the associated press reports about a dozen people in all at that event were visible carrying forearms firearms. last week a guy stood outside obama's health care town hall with a gun strapped to his leg and police arrested a 62-year-old before that new hampshire event for carrying unlicensed loaded gun. the reason we're talking about this, a lot of talk here because people feel like, yes, there are second amendment rights for sure but also there are questions about whether this has a racial overtones. here you have a man of color in the presidency and white people showing up with guns strapped to their waist or their leg. >> it is real that there is tremendous anger in this country

it concealed rather than open carry.nk politically it's not an asuit decision to make. while it's maybe legal, i think it doesn't help the pro gun rights cause when you see people do that. >> what is their motivation? >> their motivation is they know president obama is anti-gun rights and they're raising an in your face kind of thing saying it's my right and i can do it. but it doesn't sell right and doesn't get much converts to our cause. >> you really believe that. >> yeah. >> you're not just bs'ing me. you really believe this is gun rights and his position on gun rights even though we've had democratic presidents for years who take basically the same position he's taking on gun rights and nobody has shown up at events carrying guns ever. >> well, i don't think they've been quite -- there's no doubt obama's most anti-gun rights president we've had in the history of the united states based on his past performance, his actions, his voting record, and statements he's made. >> i don't agree with you, but you're right, i th
