today most at people that talk about love got talk about guns love guns or hate guns and what i wrote the story i had never owned a gone or used one nor was i involved in gun control politics. instead i came to the story through a ghost story and when i was in graduate school in new haven a friend of mine told me this story about oliver winchester's dollars-- daughter-in-law. he was known as the rightful king in the manufacture of the rifle and according to legend, sarah, his daughter-in-law believed he was being hunted by the spirit of everyone killed by rindge josh winchester rifle. so, i found this a captivating story and i began to pursue leads of this elusive subject and i set the project decide to work on another book. then, newtown happen, sandy hook and after that massacre my mind wandered back to sarah winchester, only this time i felt maybe i was starting with the wrong end of the story, that may be the more interesting story here, the more serious story wasn't sarah's ghost story, but the story of the gun industry itself about which i knew nothing and i wanted to know more,

today most people who talk about guns love guns or heat guns. but when i started this project i had never owned a gun or even used one. nor had i been involved in gun-control politics. instead, i came to the story through a ghost story when i was in graduate school in new haven, a friend of mine told me the story about sarah winchester who is oliver winchester's daughter-in-law.'s daughter-in-law. oliver winchester was known as the rightful king and the manufacturer of the winchester rifle. according to legend sarah, his daughter-in-law believed that she was being haunted by the spirits of everyone killed by winchester rifle since she was a spiritualist spiritualist and believe that ghost haunting her. so i found this a very captivating story and i began to sip pursue the story of sarah because she was an elusive subject. i set the project aside to work on another book, then newtown happen, sandy hook, and after that massacre my mankind wandered back to sarah winchester. this time i thought that maybe i was starting with the wrong end of the sto

i can't keep my gun. i can't own a gun. i can't buy a gun. in fact, if those who took time to read it, we protected the second amendment greater than it's ever been protected. we protected a law-abiding gun owner from being able to do what the second amendment gives him a right to do. we never banned anything because we know that law-abiding gun owners will do the right thing. and i think in west virginia and i would say connecticut, 70% to 80% of the -- of the real ardent collectors, shooters, sportsmen said i will get a background check. why we hit a roadblock, i don't know. did you have anybody coming to you in your state senator murphy, please don't vote for that because it will take my rights away? mr. murphy: no one in connecticut thought this was taking their rights away. as the senator knows, we have pretty strict background checks in connecticut already. in connecticut, we had already subjected most of these sales to the background check system. my impression is that our hunters, our sports shooters, our collectors have never felt th

. >> guns, those damn things. so what happened here-- how did this slip through the cracks? >> here you have one of the democrats' own in congress being struck down-- a shooting which showed the effect of weak gun laws. >> as we wait for the latest medical update, president obama is working on the speech that he will... >> at the white house, initially there was sort of a wait-and-see. and i think a lot of it rested on, to what extent was the president going to be willing to take this up? >> breaking news, we've just learned that president obama will be going to tucson on wednesday. >> this just in: president obama just said that he will... >> narrator: in the wake of the shooting, the president was facing a political crisis on an issue most politicians try to avoid... >> president obama will deliver what some have called one of the most important speeches of his presidency... >> president obama on a mission to comfort and rally the... >> please welcome the president of the united states, barack obama...

buying a gun at a gun show? shouldn't you also keep that terrorist from buying a gun out of the classifieds, the online classifieds, the craigslist classifieds? yes. of course, each piece of this makes sense to keep guns out of the hands of felons or those who are deeply mentally disturbed. in oregon, folks believe that people should buy their guns legally with the background check, and that that process shouldn't be averted through straw purchasers subverting the law by putting a different name than the name of the person who's actually acquiring the weapon. hunters and target shooters in oregon know you don't need a military grade supersized magazine to go hunting and that smaller magazine sizes may give an opportunity to interrupt a killer during a shooting spree. when you hunt for ducks you're allowed three shells in the gun. one in the chamber and two in the magazine. so my question for the senator from connecticut is this: when will congress finally say enough is enough? how many lives would have to be los

gun, why not?hy should it not be offered to the market? >> and that market is potentially huge. a survey this year found that nearly 60% of americans would consider buying a smart gun if they were buying a new gun. >> if you said to a breakfast cereal manufacturer, i could do something that would allow you to capture 59% of the market -- they would be dancing in the corporate hallways. >> the cultural and institutional roadblocks to the arrival of smart guns are not going away. but neither of the technological advances that increasingly make traditional guns seem as outdated and as needlessly unsafe as a car without an air bag. >> the problem i see these days is only the communication. and telling them what potential it is, how far the technology is. i see no reason why these people should be against a technology who will save thousands of lives. thousands of lives of children. >> steve meade knows all too well just how much is at stake. >> you think your daughter would be alive today if that techn

guns. these things are much more complicated than that. the meanings of guns have changed. >> reporter: she says most settlers viewed the gun as a cool that's necessary and yet as ordinary as a plow or an ax. >> we think we have a gun culture because of the special status of guns. really, commercially, the gun was unexceptional. it was treated like any other commodity. >> reporter: at the start of the war we didn't have enough guns. today, however, it's estimated we have more guns than people. how did we get from there to here? and here. >> the gun industry is not the only reason that we got here. however, it is the reason it never gets talked about. >> reporter: it's not just a matter of salesmanship but gun industrialists like oliver winchester and samuel colt did their level best to create a market for their wares. out of their connecticut factors known as gun valley, they'd produce guns with the same speed and efficiency as henry ford would later do with the automobile. best known, the

age 14 who are killed by a gun, are killed by a gun in the united states. if you are a young person in this country, you are 50 times more likely to die of a gun death than in all of those other countries. we have the most guns and we have the most gun violence. and, mr. speaker, we have the n.r.a. through fear, intimidation, and misinformation, the n.r.a. has taken control over the debate on guns to such an extent that we cannot even vote in this chamber on whether we should keep guns out of the hands of errorists. right now somebody can be on beth the terror watch list and no-fly list, in other words the f.b.i. thinks you're a terrorist and the t.s.a. bans you from flying. if you want to drive down to your local gun store and by an asafflet rifle, there is -- an assault rifle, there is nothing anyone can do to stop you. over the last 10 years people on the terrorist watch list tried to by explosives or firearms, 2,233 times. over 90% of the time they were successful. this is wrong. the american people know it's wrong. public health officials know it's wro

you heard the word "gun control" and everybody-- so now it's sort of gun safety, gun safety or gun violencereferred. >> trevor: do you think that is one of the biggest problems is just the branding around it. "control" people automatically assume the government is going to come in and control their guns, whereas the government is saying we're trying to control the process of getting a gun, not your gun. >> yeah, i think it's partially that, the branding, if you will, but also the narrative that's been established by the gun lobby. so the sort of fear and paranoia it instills. any time there's even a bit of discussion about commonsense regulation, they gin , certain extremists in their membership, or extreme gun rights advocates, get them whipped up into such a frenzy, primarily because they want people to go out and buy more guns because they really work more for the gun manufacturers than the gun owners in my opinion. >> trevor: it really is true. ( applause ) it's a powerful message because one thing that struck me in the documentary was a piece of the conversation, i don't think i have e

i can't keep my gun. i can't own a gun. i can't buy a gun. in fact, if those who took time to read it, we protected the second amendment greater than it's ever been protected. we protected a law-abiding gun owner from being able to do what the second amendment gives him a right to do. we never banned anything because we know that law-abiding gun owners will do the right thing. and i think in west virginia and i would say connecticut, 70% to 80% of the -- of the real ardent collectors, shooters, sportsmen said i will get a background check. why we hit a roadblock, i don't know. did you have anybody coming to you in your state senator murphy, please don't vote for that because it will take my rights away? mr. murphy: no one in connecticut thought this was taking their rights away. as the senator knows, we have pretty strict background checks in connecticut already. in connecticut, we had already subjected most of these sales to the background check system. my impression is that our hunters, our sports shooters, our collectors have never felt th

your average gun owner today has eight guns. and we've reached a point at which either side finds the other side point of view tely unimaginable. and so what we wanted to do was go back and figure out well what is actually going on. what is at the heart of the gun industry, what is driving this phenomenon. >> rose: what did you find out? >> well i'll tell you one of the interesting things. the gun industry is in a very unique position which is that on the day after the events in orlando, this tragic event which after all is a scar on the space of the nation, everybody agrees, the shares of smith & wesson the largest u.s. gun maker as we all know the shares went up 10% before trading even opened on monday. so something very strange is very going on which is when one of these mass shootings happens it actually drives sales of the gun companies, drives sales of guns because people feel more insecure. what you find if you spend time among the sort of the literature of guns, if you go to the nra convention in louisville last month, i

all countries of the world come together to talk about what to do about guns, gun trafficking, gun violence to try to move soard some kind of consensus that countries can work together. because guns travel across borders internationally, just as they travel across state borders within the u.s. at this conference, there is an attempt to try to advance the process of cooperating between countries. unfortunately at this conference, the u.s. being the largest many facture and largest exporter of guns in the world, position thata was limiting on the progress that could be made. for example, one of the topics of for discussion was, should ammunition be regulated? everyone in the u.n. agrees that guns should be regulated, but what about ammunition? we know that ammunition is what makes guns suddenly. in fact, someone who has a gun illegally and undetected depends on being able to get ammunition tohout regulation to be able commit crimes per most countries in the world, overwhelmingly the majority of countries, want to regulate ammunition, as well. unfortunately, the u.s., along with countries like

of the gun complex.why it happened. it's always over on her has some nobility to it. as to the gunfire in reality is much more impulsive. these novels planted the seed for the real explosion of the gun to speak of in the mid- 20th century. >> we had several presidents assassinated by gunfire, garfield, mckinley, and there are a number of their attempts made including on franklin roosevelt. my question is did that trigger national discussion of gun control and if not, why not? i think the biggest discussion happened in the mid and late 60s. what was the impact of those events on the gun business? >> interestingly, in my work, i didn't see either an impact or a shift in the public discourse after any of those events. theodore roosevelt was also shot on a way to a speech and he just went ahead and delivered his speech. he went to the hospital later, maybe, i don't even know if you did that. he said it's going to take more than that to shut me down. so i don't think, for for the time period that i'm looking

does your organization see the smart gun as gun control?tti: people that own guns are not the ones saying, "i'm the one that wants this. please develop it." it's coming from the gun control side. it's coming from people who, frankly, really want to put as many obstacles to a gun going off as they can. >> stahl: why are dealers who want to sell it, why are they being intimidated not to? why not let the market decide? people don't want it, don't buy it. >> sanetti: well, i agree. we think the market should be able to decide that. we have never fought the idea that dealers can put them on the shelves. it's totally up to the marketplace and the dealers. >> stahl: so where is that fight coming from? >> sanetti: that's the point. people don't understand the passion that firearms owners have for the firearms that they own. >> stahl: the passion has been fueled by the n.r.a., which says on its legislative web site, smart guns could open the door to a ban on all other guns. why do they say that? well, it's actually happened. in 2002, new jersey's go

he got a gun. i mean, he was -- >> reporter: -- somebody like that can't get a gun? >> we have to be vigilant. we have to be tough. you have to be strong. his career even gone to early high school. this guy was a -- he was a bad dude. he was a bad dude. i mean, look. will somebody slip through? i guess. you have a problem. you have to report these people. everybody knew this guy had a problem. in one case, they did report. i guess the gun store owner reported him and the authorities didn't act on it. what a shame. >> reporter: what does that say to you? >> it says very sad. that's what it says. i mean, to me, it says very sad. that they did report him and the authorities didn't act. i think it's very unusual. i'm a big fan of the fbi. they had a little bit of a bad day. >> joining me now to talk about the obama administration's response to the attack in orlando, united states attorney general loretta lynch. thank you for joining us. >> good morning. >> we had an ominous warning from the cia director. as the pressure mounts on isil, we judge that it will intensify its

is this about guns or terror? right. >> good answer. >> terrorists with guns. >> david, is this about guns or is this about terror? >> this is about terrorism. the bigger question is judge, americans want to know who is going to do something about this? and the reality is. >> americans --waiting for the government to do it we are in big trouble based on what we've seen. >> also we are 140 days away from the election. it requires suspension to reality to think that hillary clinton, who allowed four americans to die in benghazi is going to be the person to go after terrorists. >> all right. now i got to let chris talk. >> it's all about benghazi. the fantasy island of republican talking points. >> don't make fun of the facts of benghazi. here's the thing. a lot of people are saying now based on what happened, the horrific actions that this guy should not have been able to get a gun? >> should not have been. >> do you agree with that david? >> shouldn't have been. 91% of people who are known or suspected to be on the

today most people who talk about guns love guns or handguns. but when i started this project i had never owned a gun or even used one. nor had i been involved in gun-control politics. instead i came for a ghost story which i was in graduate school in new haven. a friend of mine told the story about winchester who was all of winchesters daughter-in-law. oliver oliver winchester was known as the rightful king and according to legend, sarah whose daughter-in-law believed that she was being haunted by the spirits of everyone killed and she was a spiritualist and believe that ghosts were haunting her. so i found this a captivating story and i began to pursue leads on sarah but she was a and i set the project aside and then newtown happened, sandy hook and then after that massacre my mind wandered back to sarah winchester. only this time i thought that maybe i was starting with the wrong end of the story, that may be the interesting story, the more mysterious story wasn't sarah's ghost story but the story of the gun industry itself. about which i kne

gun, guns, gun, guns. and on the anniversary of the assassination of those people at the charleston church, we had yet another mass murder scene occur in orlando, florida. now, we organized the filibuster so that we could get a vote to stop the terrorist suspects from getting guns and also to extend background checks for all gun sales and extend that background check to the internet and gun shows so that we could curb violence. i actually wanted to go further. i wanted to bring back the ban on assault weapons that expired because an assault weapon is no more than a weapon of war to be used by military or those in defense of our country that had to kill a lot of people in a short amount of time by fewer trigger pulls -- as few a pull of the trigger as possible. but we couldn't get that way so we went to these two bills. number one, to extend, close the terrorist loophole, and the other to extend background checks. i supported, the man from newtown, and i see one on the floor now, distinguished senator from

big inventory if you miss 20 guns or 100 guns nobody knows. there's much that we can do right now that doesn't add a new level that just enforces existing law. but in keeping with the refusal to have a vote on no fly, no buy, refusal to have a vote on closing the background check loop there's legislation before us that many have signed that once again is not getting a hearing, is not getting a markup. so even the things they say, let's enforce the laws that exist, doesn't happen. there's so much more that we can do. i thank all of you for being part of this overnight extended effort to make sure we continue demand what the american citizens want. >> the horrific mass shooting is a stark reminder of the urgent responsibility that we have to reduce gun violence in this country. the shooter in orlando used an like those used in san bernardino, aurora, and sandy hook. we have two proposals that were made which were bipartisan, which are currently pending before the congress. two very simple ideas. but which would be very effective in helping our c

to me it doesn't make sense to want to limit guns or take guns away from people. you know, by sending your army against someone who wants to kill you, let's take their arms away and their ways of defending themselves away. that doesn't make any sense. there are enough laws on the book, if you want to buy a handgun in minnesota, there is a lot of things you have to go through. training and you have a big waiting period, possibly up to 30 days. i say let's enforce the laws on the book and this last terrorist should have been put on the red flag list. he should not have been able to purchase a gun legally and i blame the fbi for not doing their job. let's have the government start enforcing the laws on the book. we have too many laws already. we don't need anymore. >> host: judy, how long would it take if you wanted to buy a simple handgun in minnesota? >> caller: you have to wait at least three days and possibly longer. >> host: appreciate you calling in this evening. in a moment we will go through the four votes that happened this evening but let's go to the republ

i can't keep my gun, i can't buy a gun? in fact those who took time to read it, we protected the second amendment greater than it has ever been protected, we protected a law-abiding gun owner being able to do with the second amendment gives the right to do. we never banned anything. we know law-abiding gun owners do the right thing. i think in west virginia and connecticut 70% to 80% of the real ardent collectors, shooters, sportsman said that make sense. when we had a roadblock, do you have anybody come to you in your state saying senator murphy please don't vote for that because it will take my right away? >> no one in connecticut thought this was taking the right way and we have a pretty strict background check in connecticut already so in connecticut we had already subjected most sales to the background check system and my impression is our hunters, sports shooters, collectors never felt they were on the precipice of being able to lose their right to enjoy their support for their pastime, to be able to build on their co

we going to stop them if they decide to buy a gun on the internet or to buy a gun at a gun show where there is no background check? and i understand the senator from connecticut has suggested we need to close the loopholes so that the roughly 40% of firearms sold without a background check in the united states, that number is reduced dramatically, so we know who's buying a gun and we can keep guns out of the hands of those who would misuse them. so if the senator would state with clarity what our goal and objective is in this now three and a half hour debate. i credit him with let leading it. i ask him to state with clarity the question from me. what is our purpose? what is our goal and the reason we've taken the floor? mr. murphy: thank you. reclaiming my time, i thank the gentleman for asking that question because i think it is important for us to clear about why we're here. we are here not to hold the floor for holding the floor's sake but because we've had enough of condolences and thoughts and prayers without action from this body. and we think we've identified two commonsense me

at a gun store but not require an individual to get a background check when they buy a gun at a gun show? and the reality is that when this law was passed, the intention was for the background check to cover almost all commercial sales in the country, but it was passed at a time when almost all commercial sales were being done in gun stores. what has happened is since that law was passed, gun sales have migrated, you know, for reasons that you can understand, away from bricks and mortar stores on to internet sales and to these gun shows. and so really all we're asking, i guess, is for the text of the law to -- to basically re-up on the original law's intent. we're -- the manchin-toomey bill, for instance, still doesn't contemplate a sale of a gun from a father to a son or from a neighbor to a neighbor to be subject to a background check, but if you were advertising your gun on the internet or you are going to an organized, marketed gun sale, then you should go through that -- that background check. i saw you nodding when senator bennet mentioned that the average background check tak

on gun safety. this is taking hold. a number of us have come up with our own plans. couple years ago i formulated my approach, looking at the concept we did with traffic safety. not a single magic solution but a series of thoughtful, focused effects that in traffic safety ended up cutting deaths and injuries in half with education, research, enforcement and policy changes, large and small, that had a cumulative effect of saving hundreds of thousands of lives. we can do this with gun violence. an agenda of simple, commonsense approaches have been taken in other parts of the world and it's made a difference. we see in the united states evidence in those states and communities that have taken actions to reduce gun violence, people are in fact safer. it makes a difference. sometimes in politics we can feel an issue crest, and i think we're watching it now. this week we have a simple single little powerful symbol. the no fly, no buy legislation would prevent people we think are too dangerous to allow the

the average gun owner has eight guns.ve reached a point where either side finds the other side's point of view absolutely unimaginable. so what we want to do is go back and figure out what is actually , going on? what is at the heart of the gun industry? what is driving this phenomenon? charlie: what did you find out? evan: one of the interesting things, the gun industry is in a unique position. on the day after the events in orlando, this tragic event which after all is a scar on the face of the nation, everybody agrees, the shares of smith & wesson, the uses -- largest u.s. gun maker, went up even before treating on monday. something very strange is going on. when one of these mass shootings happens, it drives sales of the gun companies. it drives sales of guns because people feel more insecure. what you find if you spend time among sort of the literature of guns, if you go to the nra convention in louisville last month if you read the books, , listen to the speakers, the people who are influential in gun culture today,

guns and terror. terror and guns.ination dynamic that's coming out of orlando that is causing this sit-in on the floor right now. so let's discuss these issues separately and together with a republican from wisconsin, chairman of the house financial services subcommittee on oversight investigations. always a pleasure. let's start with what's going on on the floor right now. the polls are so obvious on this issue and we always chase after you guys about trying to please the polls, but not on guns. no matter how strong the numbers are to domore, the congress, certainly your party doesn't want to. why? >> well, so first off, the polls are strong in that americans don't want terrorists to have guns. that's true. but they also want to protect the second amendment and make sure that americans who aren't terrorists don't get ensnared in the no fly list and the i can't buy a gun list. john lewis who was leading the charge on the house floor was ensnared in the no fly list. how does this list work? how do you get off it? that'

guns, guns, guns, guns. when the anniversary of the assassination of those people at the charleston church, we had yet another mass murder scene occur in orlando, florida. now, we organize the village of filibuster so we could get a vote to stop the terrorists als suspect from getting guns and also to extend back ground checks for all gun sales and extend that to the internet andd gun shows so that we could curb violence. i actually wanted to go further. i wanted to bring back the ban on assault weapons that expired, because assault weapon is no more than a weapon of war. to be used by military or those in defense of our country that had to kill a lot of people in a short amount of time by pulling u.s. poland the trigger as possible. but we we knew we could not get that way so we number one, to extend, close the terrorist group home and the other to extend background checks. i supported and i see one on tho floor now, with the distinguished senator from connecticut, former attorney general who was in the sen

gun debates later. this is terrorism, terrorism needs to be destroyed. >> it is islamic terror. >> we need to stop getting in the wrong argument and brin it back to the evil that is radical islam. >> to make this an issue of gun control, if you go back to 9/11 they used box cutters. >> this is not something i have ever said before but i'm glad you brought up 9/11. because yes, terrorists didn't use guns on 9/11. they used planes to kill thousands of people. and as soon as we realized that they could use planes as weapons, we worked together as a society. we worked our damnedest to make it harder for them to ever do it again. we locked cabin doors, we expanded the no fly list. we even make everyone pose for strai nudes now. what we didn't do was say this has nothing to do with airplanes, it has everything to do with radical islam. no, what we did instead was regulate air travel to make it harder for the terrorists to do the damage. even when fighting isis itself, we fight the ideology, yes. we fight to r
