. >>> i want to bring in deepak chopra.frustrated at times when i have these conversations and many people point back to the second amendme amendment, which we should read for everybody, because it's used often as a position. >> remember, soledad, when the second amendment was written, people had muskets, it took 20 minutes to load one and half the time they missed. the second amendment wasn't written for assault weapons, ammunition, and the easy availability of these guns of mass destruction over the internet. >> here is what it says. a well-regulated militia, being necessary for the security of the people the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infrin d infringed. it doesn't mention assault weapons. >> there weren't any. >> i guess right now people seem very frustrated and angry about where we are in in country in the debate over mental health and weapons. kind of the intersection of those two things. i get the sense often we wring our hands until the next tragedy, there may not be anything tangibly done. >> see, one

deepak chopra and tom ridge. from washington and former homeland security secretary. corey booker, let me start with you. it is heart-breaking. it's agonizing. you can't say anything to make it better. what i find fascinating about him is his incredible dignity. the way he was prepared to offer comfort and sympathy to the family of the man who had shot his child and he went on to talk about gun control and said that he didn't want wide-ranging gun control to come as a result of this, but he didn't understand why this shooter's mother would ever want to have the kind of assault weapon that was used in her home to defend herself. he raised a number of issues about that which we'll see more of tomorrow. but what do you say to other families in america that can't send them to school now, to movie theaters? there is almost nowhere left now that's sacred for americans to be safe because of gun violence. what is the answer? >> well, first of all, this is not as rare as people might think. there's a virginia tech, so to speak, 30 to 30 americans dying every day to violence. f
