it is john versus john on the issue of gun control and the president's policy of prescriptions for cushing mass shootings. first up john -- curbing mass shootings. first up john from chantilly. i know the first mantra is to protect children and this is supposed to be the first step. the major problem is these first steps are not dealing with the hearts and minds of people before they become mentally ill. these first steps are not dealing with the run of the mill criminals who kill more people each year than these recent mass killings combined. these first steps are not dealing with the media onslaught of violence in games, tv shows, movies, et cetera. these first steps, though, are curtailing the ability of law abiding citizens to exercise their second amendment rights but john from lorton, virginia, says the second amendment is a big deal but it is not the only deal. today americans can purchase almost any kind of weapon and ammunitions as long as they don't have background problems. despite this the nra is jumping up and down about any kind of restriction disputing the reasonable approac

vice president biden was assigned to come up with recommendations for cushing gun violence after thecommendations to the president tomorrow. right now, our chief white house correspondent, major garrett is in the east room as we await the president. major, what do you expect? >> scott the president will open up with remarks about three to five minutes about the debt ceiling. it's an issue that's been with the president throughout his presidency. he's worked with congress four times to raise it the first time with the stimulus law in 2009, but this time, the president said he has no intention of negotiating with republicans in congress about whether to raise the debt ceiling, saying it's their obligation, not his. another issue clearly to come up will be gun violence. the vice president, joe biden, presents his recommendations based on his task force meetings with the president tomorrow. and maybe the chuck hagel nomination, though which not beleaguered, has developed momentum on capitol hill. those three issues, scott, likely to dominate today's press conference. >> major, thank you

people in chicago to figure out what they've gotten wrong and how they can turn it around and start cushinglence there. >> no, i agree. i think one of the things that we do in new york differently is across all of the lines of politics and differences. everyone works toward this whole gun violence thing. we started doing buyback problems at national action network with the police commissioner even though we were arguing and fighting with him and still doing stop and terrififrisk. and i think we've got to lower these boundaries and saying that everyone has to come together. i don't know that that's happened in chicago. we have a group there, but i don't know that it's happening. but when you can have a bloomberg and those of us critical of him work together and start dealing with it, you know, the weather is one thing, but people can't use guns, warm or cold, if the guns are not there. >> yes. >> we've got to get the heat out of people's house, not to say that i hope it doesn't get too hot outside. >> no, and obviously i wasn't saying that. i also think it's become an issue that frankly is i

the completion on the expansion of that pipeline there. 400,000 barrels per day taking crude from cushingg it to the gulf coast. this is one thing traders have been watching and anticipating a great deal to help alleviate some are saying what they're seeing in terms of the big divergence between brent crude and wti prices. also watching natural gas which continues to fall after that huge plunge we saw in yesterday's session. we are going to get a storage report from the energy department store. the anticipation is we may not see a huge withdrawal from storage. that of course in a market that has plenty of natural gas could be a bearish nal. we'll watch for that report at 10:30 eastern time. >> we're not off to the races and we're not really selling off. i don't know what you would call it -- digestion maybe? we started on the low side here. there was the sell-off. didn't go anywhere. we're slowly moving into positive territory. volume not as heaven as it was yesterday. this is what you want to see here. again i would call digestion the proper term. let me comment on some of the sectors. i
