i know people like many of these loopholes, and they have their reasons. but there are so many of them that now the tax code looks like a huge to do list. the washington -- but washington has no business managing people's lives. i know many of these loopholes will be fiercely defended. all i can say is we will not be cowed. [applause] we are not here to smooth things over. we are here to shake things up. i know our ways and means chairman cannot wait to get to work. and this is the point: we want a tax code that rewards good work instead of good connections. when people know, they will keep more of their money, when they understand they will enjoy the fruits of their labor, they will work more, they will save more, they will invest more and create more jobs for all of us. and when there is more work to go around, more people will see their wages go up. but there is not much upside to getting raise the cost of living goes up. there are many things to do, but most urgent is to actually repeal and replace obamacare. [applause] you know, when people ask me wha

we have the power to close the default proceed loophole, a loophole that has forever changed the lives of so many people around the country. we've provided a platform for private sales. every licensed law-abiding dealer is at a material disadvantage due to the private laws or lack thereof when it comes to the sale of firearms. it costs the dealer nothing to run a background check. big this nomar -- misnomer. we have promoted an environment of a private sales within our f.f.l. come in. transfer your firearm at no cost knowing that you can sleep well at night that we've done the background check. we've on the the paperwork to make sure that you are transfering to a safe or non-prohibited purchaser. you need to train employees. ask questions. really screen for the state of mind in which the person is trying to purchase. so much can be told by one just general demeanor. 90% of the crime guns are originating for just 5% of the licensed dealers in this country. how many of those guns are taking advantage of this default proceed loophole? so i advocate for entrepreneurs, small business owners

as well as cleaning up this loophole, which is the terrorist watch loophole. i mean, in other words, this is a reason to do both. let me put it this way. you don't have to answer. this is the reason to do both. okay. thank you. >> thank you, mr. chairman. director, we're lucky to have you. thank you for the sacrifice you make in doing what you do. i'm glad you're on the wall. i would like to go back and clear up, just to make sure you understood the testimony as well. i applaud the fbi for being the first to call this an act of terrorism. >> thank you. >> not that i want it to be an act of terrorism, of course. but you guys looked at the facts and said the american public needs to know the facts. thank you. i haven't heard it connected directly to isis. i know in this environment you may not be able to talk about that, and if so that's fine. do we know that this was directly connected to isis influence in the u.s.? >> there was some indication that they were at least in part inspired by isil, so yes. we're trying to sort out what other contributions might ther

when i've talked to people back home -- loophole. when i've talked to people back home about this, they expect that this is already law and they almost have to have it pointed out to them that, no, this is actually not the case. a person on the terror watch list can go to a gun store and purchase a weapon. if we're serious about protecting the safety of the american people, it would seem the commonsense thing to do, to take up representative king's legislationnd close this dangerous loophole. so, while we're coming to the floor with important bills, i don't deny that, we have right now in our hands the ability to act, to take guns out of the hands of people who are on the terror watch list. if you're too unsafe, if you can't be trusted to fly, you certainly shouldn't be trusted to walk in and just get a weapon of your choice. because of this body's failure to bring up what is really this important legislation, i as a member of congress can't sit by and abide this. so with that, mr. speaker, i move -- i do now move that the house adjo

i'm a cosponsor of senator feinstein's bill to close this loophole. and during last week's budget debate, i joined 25 of my senate colleagues in offering an amendment that would also have stopped these dangerous individuals from buying firearms and explosives. passing legislation to ensure that suspected terrorists cannot buy guns has bipartisan support in the house of representatives where republican congressman peter king of new york has long advocated for this change. as we work to fight terrorists abroad, as we work to stop the recruitment in our own country, which i know well from my own state, the state of minnesota, where we have over a dozen cases, indictments against those that were trying to go to fight with isis and others who were going to fight with shabaab, we've been very aggressive in going after those cases and in working to prevent this recruitment from occurring in the first place. this is all a piece of a very difficult puzzle. but to just close our eyes and say that people on the terror watch list can go out and buy a gun is wrong

how many of those guns are taking advantage of this default proceeds loophole? i advocate for small business owners. i support the second amendment. but a majority of americans know that the current system is not enough. it's just common sense. things need to change. i urge those to adopt a code of conduct, such as the brady code of conduct, implement a policy so that prohibited purchasers are not getting easy access to weapons. there is material, atf provides it online. endless webinars that people can train their employees with. together we can do this. but we need congress to act. ffl can go above and beyond to put people above profit and stop the nonsense taking place. thank you for your time. ms. pelosi: thank you very much chris, for once again providing testimony to us. thank you for your courageous action and statement here today. it is very valued by us. doctor, a hero in a panel of heroes. we look forward to your testimony. welcome. >> thank you very much leader pelosi, chairman thompson, and vice chair kelly. i am delighted to join you to discuss this

that loophole was tucked into the brady act which took effect in 1994.e result of is that if you buy a firearm at a federally licensed dealer, yeah, you have to get a background check. but if you guy a gun from a private seller, even if it's a huge marketplace, like the gun shows, then congratulations, felon terrorist domestic abuser or certified insane person, no background check required. here's your fun. it wasn't until years after the brady bill took effect in may 1999 after the columbine massacre that congress felt even compelled to try to fix that. it was frank lautenberg who first introduced legislation to say even sales at gun shows should require a background check. the lautenberg bill passed the senate in a nail-biter, tie breaking vote by al gore is how it passed. but in that year, 1999, it went on to die in the house. since then, that loophole has remained. it's survived lots of attempts to close it. right after the sandy hook shootings in newtown, connecticut, in 2012, there was momentum from democrats to revisit the issue once again, this t

right now it's unclear if the rifles used were purchased in california under that loophole or in anotherate, but officials say they were legally purchased. joining me now, former mayor of los angeles, antonio villaraigo villaraigosa, has been instrumental in pushing for tighter gun restrictions in california. mr. mayor, thank you so much for your time. >> well, tamron, first of all, our hearts and prayers are with the families of san bernardino, and couldn't be prouder of the law enforcement there. we've worked with them when i was mayor of los angeles, and i can tell you they're among the best anywhere. and this is a horrible tragedy. i actually was the author of the assault weapons ban in 1999, so i know it well. and you're right, since then we've built on what we did during my speakership, not just assault weapons ban but a saturday night special bill to ban saturday night specials, also one gun a month, trigger locks and the like. so, we had the toughest gun laws in the country. we've built on that since then. but when you don't have a national registry or universal background checks

let's look at the no-fly know by loophole. think it's common sense, the present think it's common sense to prevent those who are deemed by the government to dangerous to board an airplane, that we should pass a law that prevents those people from purchasing a gun. until such time as they can resolve the concerns the government has about their potential links to terrorism. there is a process that is administered by the department of homeland security that can be considered unresolved and again, when it comes to gun safety that seems like a commonsense step. in response to senator rubio, i would simply say, if you see suggesting that we should wait until someone who is on the no-fly list walks into a it purchases a firearm and kills a bunch of americans? i don't think that passes a commonsense test either. >> while pointing to a recent mass shooting that could've been stopped with stricter background check, the evidence seems to be that in all these recent shootings either pass background checks -- does a point to any that would

at the same time, we have an influential house committee preparing legislation to tighten loopholes in the visa process. visaerhaul of the previous that one of the san bernardino you shooters used. breakng with you derek, down the potential measures for us and what they really mean. derek: one of the things that has come under intense criticism is that there is a policy prohibiting looking at social media and apparently one of the san bernardino shooters had made several posts on social media that people say, had they been flagged or had people notice, maybe they could have kept her out of the country. maybe that could have stopped a couple of things. this will be an intense focus from republicans on capitol hill as well as from democrats. at least two pieces of legislation that we know of are in the works. one from the house and one from senator john mccain. they are expected to demand that homeland security monitor social media posts. a group of democrats send a similar request today. the pressure on this is very much intensifying in the last 48 hours. emily: what is the current poli
