five months before signing into law some of the strongest gun safety lauf laws in the nation, in politicalgear. next month due to efforts by the nra and other colorado gun rights groups two of the state senators who vote ford stronger gun safety measures will face recall elections marking the first-ever legislative recall election in colorado history, and it is already something of a mess. firstly, as senator morris told the denver post, recalls are for unethical behave and not disagreements. not to mention the recall will cost colorado taxpayers $150,000 to $200,000 and last week a district judge issued a ruling that requires most voters to cast ballots in person. even though most colorado voters vote by mail. ultimately what happens in colorado has repercussions beyond the rockies. it's a test whether politicians outside big cities and deep blue coastal states can survive the political fallout of supporting stricter gun laws. joining us from coal, david saroda. as other things related to gun safety meshes this smacks of political opportunism and actual policy. why is the nra going after

missouri republicans are trying to nullify all federal gun laws in their state, all of them. o buy a machine gun? go ahead. in fact, the bill goes even further. it says it would be illegal for federal agents to try to enforce any gun law in missouri. federal agents would be breaking the law themselves just by doing their job. it is in fact the most far-reaching states rights endeavor in the country according to "the new york times." the bill passed and the legislature there's in missouri overwhelm leg in the house and the senate. all but one republican in the house in missouri voted for it. a handful of democrats joined them. democratic governor jay nixon vetoed the bill, but lawmakers will try to override it next month. well, the lone republican who voted against the measure was state representative jay barnes. he said, quote, our constitution is not some cheap chinese buffet where you get to pick the parts we like and ignore the rest. two centuries of constitutional jurisprudence shows that this bill is plainly unconstitutional. and i'm not going to violate my oath of office

if you can basically say in missouri we don't like the gun laws of the federal government, passed by the civil rights laws or the voting rights law. to hell with them too. what is the difference? >> that's right. we can have 50 different little countries here within -- in one jurisdiction. this is part of a larger pattern. >> swiss cheese. >> swiss cheese, exactly. it's part of a larger pattern you see. it's not just the gun issue, which is a hot button you see everywhere. you push that button and the board lights up. this is when you join wit the effort to defund obama care, for instance, and the birther nonsense about delegitimizing his presidency. what you get is republicans and conservatives who basically have said, look, if we lose an election, we'll claim that our opponent is illegitimate. if a law passes we don't like, we'll try and defund it. if that deputy work, we'll shut down the government. whatever happens, if we're losing, we're taking our ball and going home and just shutting out the lights here. this is -- >> i'm with you. >> missouri's law may be an extreme example,

guns. they hade haight law-abiding citizens who want to buy guns, and we fear that there will be federal gun laws that actually take away what we believe is our second amendment right to keep and bear arms. >> other than that premise being completely false, what message did you send to d.c.? the senate passed a bill that would have nullified any new federal gun law passed after january 1. >> he's talking about nullification. an age-old legislative tactic where states pass specific laws exempting themselves from federal laws. it's a flawless political technique that dozens of embracing, despite fact the supreme court made nullification laws illegal on several occasions, but that is not the point. >> barack obama lost kentucky in a landslide in 2008 and 2012. so if we disagree with those policies that we stated twice, why should our governor have the right to go ahead and, by unilateral fiat, implement the most unpopular law that this president has passed. >> if you didn't vote for the president, why should his administration's laws apply in your state? >> correct. >> other than the fact that

why don't we strictly enforce the gun laws we have. if you go seven years blocking why aren't you enforcing the laws? this is a man that is well- qualified. >> was certain to form policy. place inthat took egypt, you're calling it a clue? >> yes. wishy-washy? the white house has said it is not a two. -- coup. >> i disagree. i am just a small-town lawyer from vermont. i will call that a coup. and the foreign , weations bill, remember are dealing beginning october 1. it would allow some money and provide certain steps to be taken to restore democracy. will be part of that loud if those steps are taken. tosi is not summit going come back as president. -- suddenly come back as president. it is not mean that we have to say you are important to us. here is a link check. if you want anyone you have to tolow some specific steps the extent you have the read them of press. couple of follow-ups. m a.ayon trious if you see guantanamo?se >> george w. bush wanted to close it. we are spending hundreds of millions of dollars for nothing. people who ar

why don't we strictly enforce the gun laws we have? if you go seven years blocking anybody, why aren't you enforcing the laws?you can't do that. here is a man who is as well- qualified as anybody in the country. >> did it to take place in egypt? -- a coup take place in egypt? >> yes. is that too wishy-washy? [laughter] the white house has said it is not a coup at the moment. a democratically elected president, even someone doing a job as lousy as morsi was, they replaced him by the military. i'm a small town lawyer from vermont. in the call that a coup. foreign operations bill, or --ber -- -- remember certain steps are to be taken to restore democracy. the next part of that will be loud if those steps are taken.-- allowed if those steps are taken. morsi is not suddenly going to it doesck as president. not mean we have to say, here is a blank check. you have got to follow some specific steps to freedom of press. and in restoration of democracy. i a couple of follow-ups.>> am curious if you see a way to close guantanamo? george w. bush w

would not have prevented the shooting. >> in our reality there's no gun law whatsoever, nothing anybodyan do or say that's going to prevent somebody that wants to get their hands on a gun to get their hands on a gun. >> and that's something we can debate a little later, as well. >>> to california now where san diego mayor bob filner expected to resign today as part of a deal reached during mediation in his sexual harassment lawsuit in exchange for his resignation, the city will pay some if not all of filner's share of any damages awarded in the lawsuit. the attorney who represents accuser irene mccormick jackson says they have not signed anything and stressed taxpayer money should not be used to bail out filner. filner's attorney has a letter of resignation drafted for his signature upon approval of the tentment settlement by council members. >>> ladies and gentlemen, i want to introduce you to the newest batman. that's ryan braun. that's not batman. that's a trick you guys played on me or just a snafu because t.j., by the way, two times in my career at "way too early" i have tried to t

we think that we're in need of sensible gun laws, federal laws. ioned in new york and we're going to talk about it, but it cries out for federal gun trafficking laws. we simply don't have that. it also cries out for background -- universal background checks on people who want the get guns. this is common sense. it doesn't look like either of these things will happen in the near term. >> this other incident was in decatur, this georgia school. 28-year-old suspect michael brandon hill. he had 500 rounds of ammunition and ak-47. his brother says he's bipolar. he had previous dealings with authorities who thought he was a risk. again, an accident waiting to boil over. a bit like adam lanza before sandy hook. how do you tackle this stream of disenfranchised, disinfected, perhaps deranged, usually white males who commit these mass shootings or have the intent to commit them? >> it is very, very difficult to do it. we need databases with more reliable current information about individuals' mental state. this person -- we're not certain if it was his gun o

, gun possession laws and makes the prosecution itselfging. >> how is it that so many people in america do not share your view of the danger of guns? is it about the gun itself, the culture of gun ownership, perhaps, which makes it so difficult to have this kind of sensible view of guns around the nation? >>well a lot of people aren't affected by guns. people in urban areas are and quite frankly communities of color for the most part. in new york city, 97% of the people shot in our city are either black or latino. it's concentrated in the mayor cities. so if you don't live in a major city, if you don't live in one of those neighborhoods, it's something you might read about in the newspaper but you're not personally affected by it. we're saving lives in new york city. we're doing it proactively but obviously, not everybody is happy with some of the tactics and strategies. >> i mean, you touched there on stop and frisk, a very contentious issue. do you think stop and frisk is deliberate racial profiling but for a purpose that is in your eye

guns. it's no secret to it. we just need tougher laws to be able to keep them in jail. >> bill: i agree with you there. absolutely. mandatories for anyone carrying illegal firearm or anyone carrying one. you might want to check out the ha dediya pendleton foundation. next on the rundown crowley and colmes react to the stop and frisk policy. charles krauthammer reacting to american children and marijuana off the incredible situation we reported on last night in seattl >> bill: continuing with lead story violence racism and stop frisk. with us are monica crowley and alan colmes. colmes, how would you stop the tremendous violence in chicago. >> like mr. pendleton street buy back program. got 254 illegal weapons off the street. >> bill: buy back. >> registration of guns. more strict gun control. that's what i would do. >> you do realize chicago has the strictest gun control in the country. >> australia and. >> don't have any people. nobody lives there? >> not australia compared to the united states you basically say that strict gun control.

the only way we can do that is by putting in real gun safety laws, background checks. ere's no reason for them to have a gun and 50 bullets. that's the reason. >> michelle, richard laid out the argument that we have all made which is the hypocrisy of the left. they don't care what actually happened whether it was trayvon martin or whatever, so that they could use it to have a schedule. i've encountered many arguments in my life and this is low a wattage as i've ever encountered. what gun laws in particular do you think would have saved this man's life? an assault weapons ban? whoa, whoa, whoa, it's my turn. no. an assault weapons ban? do you think that would have saved him? >> your question is a as far as. why do 16-year-olds and 17-year-olds have a gun to begin with? >> the reason why you won't answer my question -- >> do you believe that a 16-year-old or 17-year-old should have a gun. >> the weapon, the weapon in question that killed chris lane was a .22 caliber pistol. are you proposing he shouldn't have it it at all? >> i disagree. >> it is already legal for teenage

and not be subject to a background check in one of the dumbest decisions so far of agony over the gun laws in and gun policies of the nra and usa. i can tell you there is disbelief. a fine young australian gunned down by three teenagers, allegedly, and i just want to say that to the deep thinkers in the usa to think again about the drift in the state of the nation. i went to philadelphia to the constitutional convention, constitutional museum to look particularly at aspects of the second amendment. the second amendment does not provide for semi alms in the suburbs of main street, usa. >> let me just ask you, you were in a conservative government, weren't you, mr. fisher? yes, i was leader of the republican regional party, congressman equivalent, in a sense a dick cheney of joe biden prime minister and supported john winston and the initiatives for gun reform and also, former vietnam veteran thanks to the usa and i have and own guns, which cnn is privy of, as a matter of fact. in a sensible balanced approach in the interest of public safety, what happened in oklahoma is just an example of w

jesse jackson said this: >> >> some democrats have pointed to the nation's gun laws. those on the right say this is a much bigger issue. >> let's be honest that you want to deflect from talking about the real issue here. it's on the table. there is a huge social media footprint already of these three suspects it is not gun control but gang control. behavioral control. >> all of this as lane's family begins that grieving process. well wishers have reportedly raised more than 80,000 dollars to help his family fly from oklahoma to australia and then cover the funeral expenses. more on this as we get it. grand new details emerging about the georgia school shooting. 911 recordings giving a glimpse outsi inside of standoff. >> he doesn't want the kids. he wants the police. back off and -- what else, sir? he don't care if he dies he has nothing to live for. he said he is not mentally stable. >> no one was hurt but police say it could be a lot worse. the suspect 20-year-old michael brandon hill was carrying an ak-47 with 500 rounds of ammunition. he is charged with possession

in state of missouri on both sides of the aisle are getting ready to throw out federal gun laws. this move would make it illegal for federal agents to enforce those gun laws and it would even give missouri residents the right to sue an arresting officer. it would also make it illegal for journalists to print the names of jgun owners. critics say if the bill becomes law it doesn't stand much of a chance in the court. outrage this morning after the only current african american senator did not get an invitation to speak at yesterday's 50th anniversary on the march on washington. president obama other democrats did speak herman cain says he knows why this simply wasn't an over sight. >> because he is a conservative republican you would think the only black sten tore and united states senator from south carolina one of the states that was the hotbed of segregation during the civil rights movement would have been invited. i know senator scott and i know that he would have moved heaven and earth in order to be there if he were invited. >> scott wrote a column where he said the march sh

host: i want to ask you about gun laws. two of the most terrific shootings took place in your state. columbine high school, and more recently, a year ago at the movie theater in aurora, colorado. would national gun laws have made a difference in either of those cases? guest: it's hard to say. in both those cases, the people clearly had serious mental health issues. as you get into the issue, we try to be pragmatic. we did the most comprehensive mental health initiative last spring in the history of the state of colorado. in the 1970's and 1980's we put people in institutions their whole lives and forgot about them. then we suddenly send them out on the streets.and said "fend for yourself." we definitely need more health care support so people can continue to live on the outside. when they are a risk to themselves or others, we have got to find ways to intervene rapidly. our universal background check, which was very divisive and controversial -- some of these gun issues, when you take the facts and look at them, we looked a

. >> what remains clear is that weak gun laws at the federal and state level have a direct dangerous and growing impact on the safety of our city. >> the weapons funneled from north and south carolina. wait is over for redskins fans, after seven months, burgundy and gold return to fedex field. >> home opener should be interesting to see, robert griffin iii obviously not playing. he was on the field going through warm ups. >> he looked good. >> he will not be playing but he is wearing a shirt called "operation patience." dante is out, merry weather out. a dozen players were doing intense work outs, brian and josh and nick barnet, will likely not be playing. >> kurt cousins will be looking to build off his performance touchdown to fred davis. it will be increased workload for cousins and starters. cousins has been a sponge at camp and talking about how much better he has gotten. the snaps he'll receive tonight will add to that. >> i haven't been told what my playing time will be. closer to a half. a lot of times better you play, sooner they pull you. hard to put into words and explain.

and the district of columbia had the toughest gun laws at the time. e was not a client of mine that couldn't get a gun for $15. it was like we would sort of roll our eyes to the thought that there were these gun laws, they just don't stop anything. if you could show me some empirical proof that any of these criminals were denied access to guns, i would be screaming from the rooftops for you. but my clients always got guns. there's no shortage of them. >> so many of our tragic accidents are where somebody brings a gun in, we had a 15-year-old boy just the other day who accidentally shot himself in the leg carrying a gun. we had a road rage incident in this city where it ended in gun fire. if the gun wasn't present, if the person had left their gun at home, or if they didn't have a gun in the first place, or if they knew this was a place where this was not acceptable behavior, then you would haven't a minor incident turn into a tragedy. >> what about the shop owner who doesn't have a gun and he's got a sign on the window that says this is a gun free plac

his action and unpredictable restrictions on gun laws and medical marijuana are being fewed through a016 bid for president. >> it's been two months now. it's well documented. >> they are complicated issues. i know you think it's simple. i know you think it's simple and it's not. >> that's the father of a 2-year-old girl suffering from a rare form of epilepsy pleading with christie to pass a medical marijuana bill. he agreed to let qualified children take edible forms of marijuana if changes are made to the bill. >> just talking isolation is not going to deal with the entire problem. >> reporter: he enacted tougher gun laws. on friday, he said the wide scope of the ban would not improve public safety. >> this has been a huge week for governor christie. the decisions he made now are going to have ramifications if he runs for president. he took actions last week on gun that is are certainly going to be supportive of folk who is are pro-second amendment. he took actions today that are going to anger social conservatives when it comes to the gay therapy. >> reporter: the groups of friends

if they are passed, california would have the toughest gun laws in the country. un control advocates faced off against gun right supporters on the issue of public safety. the committee approved a package of bills that would ban all semi automatic rifles. >>> this morning a federal appeals court in san francisco will hear arguments on california's ban on selling shark fins. two asian american groups are challenging the ban. they say the sharks are caught humanely and all parts of the shark are used. >>> time now 4:4. today marks the first day of classes for the fall semester at city college in san francisco. the school says eligible course credits are guaranteed to count toward degrees or certificates and can transfer to most four year colleges. the accrediting commission for community and junior colleges is threatening to revoke the accreditation. but they just sent that panel a warning letter after finding the commission violated four requirements. >>> time is 4:48. the first day of school for so many people. >> yeah. i forgot. >> does that mean there will be mor

solve a problem. >> that legislation was seen as the most serious effort to overhaul our countries gun lawsn 20 years and was, it failed pathetically. mean tile, more than 21,000 americans have been killed in this country by guns since new town. the senator from your home state chris murphy said we've grown so used to gun violence, it's just like rain drops, background noise. what's it going to take to see real action on gun control? >> i don't know. i wish i did, because this is a horrible, horrible thing for anyone to have to go through, and you would think that, you know, a tragedy like this in an elementary school with 20 six and 7-year-old kids would open eyes. it did for a lot of people, just not our senators, i guess. >> we made it a major issue, covered it almost every day during the winter and spring. it's astonishing to see how much money the n.r.a. and gun manufactures have made since then. they're the only ones to have cashed in by doing their old playbook, saying obama's going to come take your guns, so everybody runs out and buy more guns and they profit off of murder. is that

>> caller: yeah, and i know the gun ownership laws, and yes, you -- as a holder or transporter, you knowust putting out there, do you think if you would -- let's just make up a wildly fictional story line, if you killed an unarmed black teenager, do you think they would just let you off, and then call you to let you know there was an accident so you can look like a hero, and c, you are pulled over for speeding with a gun in your glove compartment and be let off with a warning. >> caller: to be honest if i was pulled over like that, and i was playing with my gun, most officers would have their hand on their pistol and say sir, take your hand away from your glove compartment now. and that's for the police officers safety. so the fact that it's almost like a double standard -- and that's what we're seeing is a double standa standard -- that's -- that's what we're watching, and that what we're seeing and observing, you know, this double standard that is happening. >> stephanie: yes, and that's why trained professionals need to be in these situations, like for instance, if he would have said

>> advocates declared starbuck appreciation day to support the coffee chain stand on open carry gun laws. the group urged owners to drive business. some are calling for americans to skip starbuck on saturday on august 24, donate the money you would spent on the coffee to its mission which is advocating for advantager gun laws. >> on wall street, investors get the later numbers on jobless claims. the federal reserve is in support of stimulus cuts if the economy improves. >> whole foods want to shed the expensive image. the "wall street journal" say they will offer more lower-priced items such as frozen meatballs and using facebook and twitter to promote the sales. corn addition is ranching up from other natural grossers and traditional supermarket with their own products. that is the bloomberg business report from new york. >> in california it is 5:17. mike? >> good morning. we will see if we will see some sunshine. well walk through the forecast starting with the visibility out there. we do not have any fog but we have a lot of low cloud cover this morning but no fog. we will have flight

the proposed bill would also make it a crime for federal officers to enforce federal gun laws in the ate. the bill is in line with the movement known as nullification. that's where states pass laws that openly defy federal power. last month, the democratic governor of missouri vetoed the measure calling it unconstitutional. >> the justice department will not sue colorado or washington for legalizing marijuana use. the government outlined its policy for enforcing marijuana laws, including keeping pot out of the hands of minors. this leaves entrepreneurs trying to figure out how to make money. >> in a basement room in a saw the seattle warehouse, medical marijuana entrepreneur gives us a small whiff of the future of weed. >> we got awards for this. if you smell it, you're going to get blueberry cheesecake. >> they are ready to roll out even more production space. the can bass growing business is good right now. >> we help provide over 10,000 patients with the medication that they need. >> with the state finalizing rules for a licensed and regulated recreational pot industry, the future
