heller involved the handgun. .. and it found a test which is quite useful and it goes as follows .it the arms of the kind that would be in common use for traditional lawful purposes, people can expect to have them for true purposes. if they are not, then they would not be protected, and so we don't have rocket propelled grenade season for deer. you know, so things like that are, obviously, going to be outside there might be some closer questions and even o to the extent that some guns might be appropriate for some context but not others well then you -- those regulations might be appropriate or not as well, for example, there's nothing unusual about taking a rifle to go hunting with. there's no unusual for home scefs or gun range but that same rifle walking around central park, people might have a few questions about what's going on on so there are time, place, manner restrictions even for arms that are presented so again we need to see how the cases shake out. but that's the way our constitution works disputes arise people litigate them, and we learn on a case by case basis organi

heller: it is my distinct honor now to introduce a man that i consider a great front. a friend to me personally and a friend to our state, and a friend to the city. his presence here and that of his wife reaffirms the sense of loss, but also the sense of pride this tragedy has brought upon all of us. ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the vice president of the united states, and mrs. pence. >> [applause] v.p. pence: senator heller, senator cortez masto, mayor goodman, state and local officials, pastor hatch, people of las vegas, my fellow americans -- my wife karen and i are honored to be with you for this las vegas unity prayer walk. we are grateful to each of you, and we are grateful to the inspiration of your former deputy fire chief, kevin chapman. kevin, thank you for loving the people of this community the way you do. >> [applause] v.p. pence: president trump personally asked us to be here to stand with you, to pray with you for strength, comfort, and healing in the wake of sunday night's horrific attack here in las vegas. in america, we mourn with those who mo

for instance, the senate adopted an amendment offered by senator heller to provide tax relief to american families with children so they can have more money to make ends meet. we also adopted an amendment from senator collins to provide relief to small businesses which have been responsible for the creation of about two-thirds of the net jobs in recent years. that is according to statistics from the small business administration. both of these amendments reinforce the goals of the tax reform framework developed by the president, his team, and the tax writing committees here in congress. so today we'll consider more ideas from colleagues on both sides of the aisle. i want to particularly thank chairman enzi and members of the senate budget committee for their good work in getting us to this point. the budget they produced is important to our fiscal and our economic future, and i look forward to passing it soon.

the president should not engage in any attacks against senator dean heller. and there probably would be some pushback here and there in this session, particularly in light of this pretty rather dramatic fight for senator corker who, when i asked senator corker if he was going to attend, he said, of course he plans on attending that lunch. so it remains to be seen exactly what set of that exchange still in the room, actually waiting outside the room in case the president does come and talk to the press. we're hearing possible that he may have made a decision at the last second here. and we'll see if the president responds to this pretty dramatic criticism from senator corker. a number of reporters, including myself, shouted out questions to the president on his way into the lunch and would not respond and we'll see if he does after ward but clearly this is overshadowing this lunch, even though a lot of republican senators agree with senator corker, they recognize the distraction from the larger agenda to get through a major tax reform proposal this year, brook

those were who opposed, how did win that-- heller battle?: he won that battle because it was the height of the communist scare. a lot of forces were convinced that we needed bigger bombs and more bombs to make us secure. the phrase of the day was overwhelming superiority. not unlike our president trump under the mistaken impression that more bombs would make us safe. we now know there is no missile intercept system that can catch every missile, and no matter how big your defenses one missile getting through would be a human catastrophe the . whether it is seoul, guam, japan. charlie: winston churchill said means another war would carry the destruction of human life. >> my grandfather believe our only hope for civilization was de-escalating tensions, not escalating. living in the shadow of the bomb, we had no choice but to go forward and try and control it. that is the situation we were in. he liked to quote jefferson, that the survival of democracy depended on eternal vigilance. we had to be strong, but we had to negotiate. we could not with

if you look at the race in alabama dean heller is senator from nevada could also be in trouble. they are a number of establishment republicans heading into the election next year that you would think with 12 republicans more or less up for re-election next year they would be in fine shape but of course you have seen with abandon wing of the trump world announcing they want to primary these incumbents with the exception of ted cruz from texas i think the establishment wing of the republican party of steve bannon and his allies in the rearview mirror and those objects are getting a lot closer than they appear. charles: tammy bruce this is a huge victory for steve bannon and you've got to believe he brings up heller but there will probably be more who say maybe the better part of valor is bowing out before the primaries. >> this is a classic you can't fire me i quit move for most of these people and unfortunately for senator flake is trying to dress it up as something more dramatic or is in fact see an 18% approval rating at home. these are individuals who aren't necessarily being

dean heller, the republican senator from nevada said this today about the kind of accessories that wouldow gunowners to turn semiautomatic weapons into automatic weapons. >> you can go on the internet right now, and there are videos on the internet right now that will show you how to manipulate a semiautomatic and turn into it an automatic weapon. we need to talk to some of the gunmakers and figure out. there has to be a way to be able to stop it. i think at this point, i think we need to have, again, that discussion with the gunmakers and figure out if there is a way we can keep this manipulation from happening in the future. >> joining us now, david frum, and democratic congresswoman jacky rosen who represents nevada's third district. congresswoman rosen, thank you very much. tell us about the impact of this event on the community and what you think it will mean to the gun debate in washington. >> well, this is the worst tragedy in american history. what does it mean to our community? our community is mourning. and it means everything to us. mothers and fathers sent their children look

defending some of the most conservatives with these nuisance challenges and not defending flake and heller, it is going to be a nightmare. >> second is round of questions, under reported story. >> i would say, rg the president's comments on puerto rico for me. it is significant if you think about it juxta posed against the rhetoric we heard from the president which is to say he talked a lot how america has been overextended overseas and we need to come back home and take care of our citizens. you have a lot of american citizens in puerto rico under dire straits. more than half the island without access to electricity, telephone line. they couldn't even contact law enforcement or a hospitality of people are hurting in a bad way. to put this in perspective, this is three weeks after the hurricane hit. we have been in afghanistan for 16 years. juxta posing this from what we heard from the president, not only is it consistent but it is jarring. >> underreported story? >> i'm in a totally different world. myanmar. more than half a million refugees have fled myanmar to bangladesh. the u.n. calle

according to the supreme court decision dc versus hellerings what that means is you have the right town a gun to protect yourself in the home. at the same time in the majority opinion, anthony scalia said that also means that the government has a right to regulate what that means, what kind of gun, where you can have it. so we do have the ability to regulate that, and we should. you know, people have the right to own a firearm to protect themselves if they are responsible. but other people also have a right to be safe in their community. you know, the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness is at the top of the constitution. we have a right to that. we have a right to safe communities. and they can be safer. we don't have to have 33,000 people dying every year. >> realistically, what do you expect any advancement in your cause to come out of this? >> we have been fighting over the last six months to make sure three bad things don't get passed here in the u.s. capitol. the concealed carry reciprocity. silencers, the legalization of eye lensers. imagine what that parking lot, that venue
