that was former congresswoman gabrielle giffordss and her husband mark kelley yesterday calling on congresst stricter dwgun laws. joining us from capitol hill, jim himes of connecticut. you've had some strong words about members of congress having blood on their hands if we can't get something done here. having said that, there's still so much to learn about what happened in las vegas, the types of weapons used, how he got them, where they came from. should we wait until we know exactly what we're talking about, or what's it going to take? >> mika, waiting is one of the many tools that the folks who would have us do absolutely nothing on gun safety employ. they say it's too soon. it's too soon to politicize and act. i don't remember after 9/11 when people flew airplanes have buildings, i don't remember thinking what we need to do is wait and not take action. on hurricanes, we don't wait and not take action. and it's not like we need to know a whole lot more than we already know. we could in this buildings, and this is why i get so angry at the united states congress. i'm standing in the one
