heller is a 2008 decision. how did we get along with of the second amendment before then?hank you, mr. chaman. >> thanks, senator hiron senator cornyn. >> thanks, mr. chair man. i appreciate the legal seminar as much as anybody. but what i would like to s, whether we can get to some someagreemenon some basic principles. first of all, do you believe a laabiding citizen is a threat to public safety because they exercise the second amendment rights to keep and bear arms? >> statistically know, senator. law-abiding citizens are not a threat. they are overwhelmingly not responsible as the driving force between the criminal gun violence. >>ne area that we are in this very what can be a controversial topic, where ihink we've been able to find some consensus is on the importance of background checks to make sure that people who were prohibited und existing law from purchasing or possessing firearms, nearly people with criminal convictions, people with a mental health commitment and the like, this has been one area where we have been able to find some consensus. a couple of years a

this case and heller case are important in my view, mr. chairman reinforces the idea of the second amendment is there for individuals and that individuals have a right to defend themselves in a responsible way even outside their home. so what i would hope this committee would do is end to the extent possible the revolving door policies that allow people time and time again to come out on the streets, hurt their fellow citizens list at in conclusion the reason so many people are buying guns is because they have lost faith in their government to protect them. >> thank you scattergram, senator whitehouse? >> thank you chairman, thank you to the witnesses for being here. professor ruben, the history and tradition of fact-finding and the american judicial system is done at the trial court level. and where the successful challenge to the very tough clearly erroneous standard is made on appeal than an ordinary way to resolve it is to send the case back to the district court for fact-finding where fact-finding belongs. i have had a hearing in my c

for 15 years courts have been steadily implying the heller decision to make judgments about gun laws on the books and now the supreme court has imposed a radical new framework under judge thomas' decision with barely any guidance to apply and plenty of opportunity for judges to cherry-pick from history, to engage in judicial activism in the name of originalism. the gun lobby so bruin as a landmark case and a significant challenge for police, law enforcement and the population of america when it comes to public safety and that so we will discuss today. we have a distinguished panel of witnesses that will examine where we go to abdicate the upheaval of efforts to combat gun violence and i'd look forward to this discussion. i now turn to the ranking member senator graham. >> mr. chairman. number one i think this is an important hearing to have. the role of the 2nd amendment in average everyday life read senator cornyn worked in a bipartisan fashion to make some changes to background checks, putting money into the system to deal with folks that are a danger to themselves and others and t

liz: i want to bring in bob heller, former federal reserve governor. bob, couple until i guess before the fall -- up until i guess before the fall of svb, the federal reserve was on door rately opposed to hiking its interest rate trajectory. will it be forced to pause? >> i think when the house is on fire, it's appropriate to calm things down, not to increase interest rates at this very moment. but the long term inflation fight is still on. so after a short pause to calm the waves, then the federal reserve has to combat inflation which is still running at a very high rate, three times at what the federal reserve wants it to run. i would like to be down to zero. liz: well, hold on. really? down to zero? you think that we are in that situation that is such an emergency now that we need to go there? >> not right now, like i said. at the moment keep it calm, do not change interest rates at the moment. but the long-term flight -- fight against inflation has to continue. and congress has mandated that the federal reserve to have price stability. in my mind,

why, and how some of the most colorful obituaries in recent years finding new life online like joe heller from connecticut. joe was a frequent shopper at the essex dump, and he left his family with a house full of crap. £300 of bird seed and dead house plants that they have no idea what to do with. well, i'm all for using humor and obituaries. i always say if obituaries can't be fun, what's the point of dying? that fun and humor doesn't need to be saved for your deathbed? james says to start writing your story now saving some of your best stories . ah important things that happened to you interesting things crazy things that happened to you the mistakes you made and what you learned from them. ah. that kind of thing can really get lost if you don't put it down if i'm drafting my own obituary, is it okay if i fudged the truth a little bit, you know, at a couple of inches, he was six ft. tall great thing about it is, you know you can do whatever you want. uh and but i think most people are really inclined to be pretty frank when they write about themselves, and now james is telling it like

heller didn't have any successful claims in the first year.here is a lot of good reasons for that, the bruin decision on the supreme court was a reputation of how the lower codes had been handling the second amendment cases. you have probably heard the way they treated it as a second-class right. not only did they have this denunciation about how lower courts handled it but how they should decide them going forward. you are seeing the significant effect. host: kathy is calling us from ohio, a democrat. caller: i'm a little bit nervous but the reason is, i was shot at twice in my own home. i don't know who did it or what kind of gun it was. it made a popcorn sound and i was shot out and a half circle arch in the bullets rained down and at that moment, all the work i did in school and everything went away and all that mattered was that i lived in a house with stone walls and i ran into the house for protection. i am so grateful for those stone walls. after that, i was very scared for a long time. and now i feel betrayed by my own country. how co

. >> they should read heller. even scalia wrote heller and said you can regulate this stuff, weapons of war, you can regulate it if you want to regulate it. look at connecticut after newtown, they passed expansive -- the supreme court never overturned it. but you love tennessee. you just love it. i mean, for you too. it's just heartbreaking for everybody. you see where tennessee has gone the patz couple of years. it's a race to the bottom on all of this. >> yeah, i know, like john, i know exactly where that church is, where that little school is as well. it's devastating. we know people worried about their kids or who had friends of kids at the school, and tragically the three 9-year-olds and three other adults, including the head of school were killed there, the head of the school. so, you know, i think jon's point is a good one about this generation talking to his kids. if you look even at the polling, republican young people, among kids, they go, we got to do something better than we're doing right now. they ha

in heller case about the right to bear arms if the home for self-protection.eeded it for self-protection. they just threw out their own justification, no reason to believe they would pick up another justification in order to extend that law further. it's hard to sigh where the guardrails are constitutionally and that would make anyone trust the supreme court less. unless they change the way they're doing things i don't see the trust of the people returning. >> even people who can't cite the cases understand when you point out something, how radical is it? it's so radical. how radical is dobbs? if you look at roe and casey, roe overturned by six republican appointed justices. the politicalization of the court is evident. >> as kim said, it threw a bomb into law about the second amendment and clarence thomas said you have to cite history in text and tradition, that caused these crazy gun laws where judges are like, banning guns in airports is unconstitutionally because there were no laws about that in the 18th and 19th. when there were no airports. the problem t

it happened at heller jewelers in the city center bishop ranch shopping center on bollinger canyon road afternoon. one witness who did not want to go on camera told me it happened very quickly. listen i saw a bunch of people from the ballet two cars parked and they just started running storming inside , sa. a security guard was confronted at gunpoint. the to n pointed at at a nearby restaurant reacted in shock and immediately called police while telling workers to secure their doors. walk your door locks the door. my god, that guy is holding the dinosaur's here. you can see one robber near the front door, while another apparently uses a hammer to smash the display case . this video shows the man near the front door with a gun. and then moments later, the robbers run out running out now some get into an orange dodge charger while others get into a jeep cherokee they went in, like both in the opposite direction is pretty much kind of was just like a rush on this, li. i had never seen anything like that. before it was honestly terrifying. witness took this photo of the charger as it left .

the second amendment and the heller decision and all sorts of nuance doesn't do a whole lot to make our children or the parents of this world feel very safe, but red flag laws are continuously debated in the era of well, does it deprive somebody of the right that they have to have weapons, a notice and opportunity to be heard, and that factor really looms very large here. and that conversation that you're having with your children is certainly one that millions of american parents are having all across the country today. laura stay with me. i do want to bring in rmr walker, who was at that press conference in nashville, tennessee, amra. it's clear that the police in nashville are still grappling with the question of a motive. the police chief saying there that they school was targeted. but that individuals were not. that's correct. and i do want to mention you know, just seeing chief john drake. you could see just in his eyes how emotionally depleted he is, and this is obviously something that has impacted him greatly along with his officers, who he has said in interviews this morning t

this witches brew a combination of the second amendment the way in which it was interpreted in the heller decision and a lack of resolve. i have to say among republicans in the house and senate to do anything about it, wolf. it's gotten to the point where i've sat here on so many prior days, responding as a guest to the circumstances that i could just dust off talking points from what i said the last time because nothing ever seems to change and my glass is half full that it won't change going forward. that's what a lot of a lot of folks out there are predicting, especially as our let pointed out there is a republican filibuster that presumably would take place and you need 60 out of 100 members. to vote to break that filibuster . munder you served in congress as you just pointed out. did you hear behind the scenes a different sense from republican colleagues. then when what you hear from them when the cameras are rolling. on some things we did, but but not on this particular issue. that however, is not mean that a number of republicans don't recognize that banning assault weapons, for ex

if you read the second amendment and heller.t's this hyper individualism over the past 20 years, this extremism that says, "i want all my rights, even rights that i haven't had before. give me more rights. i take no responsibility. and i'm going to take pictures of my children holding ar-15s," because of this sick, sick gun culture. that's how they celebrate christmas on their christmas cards. claire, there is nothing, there is nothing normal about this. you have most americans who are repulsed by this activity, by this behavior, by the continued killing. yet, they just go on. >> well, you know, democracies fail for two reasons. one, there is an effort to undermine the process of electing our leaders. the other way is for the democracy to not be responsive to the will of the people. that's really what we're facing today. i'd love every mother, every grandmother, every father, every grandfather, as they click their child into a car seat today, to think about the situation we're facing in this country. we are clicking children int

the supreme court reiterated that in 2008 in district of columbia versus heller which held for the first time that there's an individual right to bear arms for self-defense encompassed within the second amendment but contrasted with private military organizations and justice scalia writing for the majority explained and reiterated the holding of presser that nothing in the second amendment prevents states from prohibiting private paramilitary organizations. finally we know all 50 states prohibit them. 48 tilted right into their state constitutions. 20 9f anti-militia laws militia laws. 25 have anti-paramilitary laws. every state is something. so why then this broadly held mythology about the second amendment and why then i think the question for some of the panelists is, do these private military groups think you have the authority to take upon themselves to determine whether the election was tainted by fraud and the transition of power should not result? i want to turn first to you, marcus. because i understand your work on the red team focused on how groups like the oath keepers and th

they only happen in the heller decision. i think that decision is wrong.istorical and inconsistent with our sounding as a nation for the second amendment was really enacted around state militias, the national guard and their access to firearms. i really think we need to relook at the words and history and understand even in the founding of the colonies, people could be expected for how they kept their guns in their own homes. in the wild west, people talk about the wild west and most frontier towns, you had to check your gun with the sheriff before you enter the town. we have a rich history of gun regulation in this country recognizing things like guns and a large public places that they may not mix very well. we need to get back to that heritage and understand that as our heritage, not something manufactured by the national rifle association. host: five minutes left with kris brown of brady. mike is in akron, ohio. independent. good morning. caller: good morning. i would like to make three points. i'm a retired schoolteacher, i taught math, size and histo

ruben, do you agree with the heller decision that interpret the second amendment to be an individual right? was that a good legal decision? >> yes, , sir. >> you do? >> yes. >> ms. glenn, your experience was terrible. your husband, former husband, had been charged with armed robbery. had he been convicted of armed robbery or -- i don't know, make sure -- >> yes, many years before the incident, yes. >> he had actually been charged with kidnapping you, to, before the shooting. >> months before the incident. >> i guess here's my point. senator cornyn has shown the way to work on responsible gun ownership limitations, and i don't think there's anything in this case this is common sense doesn't prevail. but this brew in case and case are important in my view. mr. chairman, it reinforced the idea of the second amendment is therefore individuals and that individuals have a right to defend themselves in a responsible way even outside their home. so what i would hope this committee could do is end, to the extent possible, the revolving door policies that allow people time and time again to co
