. >> joining us now from the time warner center in new york democratic representative jerry nadler of new york who says the time for more strict gun control is right now. congressman, thanks very much for coming in. when the president says we need "meaningful action right now" what do you want him to do? >> well, i want the president to take the leadership and use the bully pulpit of the presidency to lead a crusade for meaningful and strong gun control legislation. you know, the united states -- and he's the only one that can do it, really. we know gun lobby has strong support in congress because members of congress are terrified of their alleged political power. but a president can lead a campaign and can direct the moral of the country and members of congress or senators refuse to support strong gun control legislation. and we know it, we've heard all the nonsense. >> congressman, sorry for interrupting, but how disappointed are you that in his first term this was not a high priority for him, if a priority at all? >> i don't want to get into that. what i care about is what happens
