lott's study -- you have doenot increase the crime rate. it's only the illegal guns. as i think one of the other thing that's was pointed out in his work that you just mentioned there, it's actually more people are killed by knives than they are by guns. if you want to use the analogy that was just given out, we should take away all the butter knives i america and that will make us all safer. there is a difference between a legal gun and an illegal gun, and this bill is dealing with legal weaponry. i'm asking you, as an expert witness as a sheriff, am i wrong with that? >> no, i'm not. you know, the issue is the action that you utilize when you have, ether it's a handgun, a shotgun, a butter knife or whatever, it's the actions that you take that commits the crime. it's not the handgun. it doesn't act on its own. it's the person that has it. so to take your assumption, i guess, is to say that you want to eliminate all weapons -- any shotn, any rifle, any pistol in america. that's the next leap. >> no. i just said that increasing the number of firearms, in my judgment,

if you remember in washington when the republicans controlled the senate and trent lott and his allies were angry because the senate was not confirming the president's judgments. they were talking about the blocking of the majority to enact its will. but what susan talked about represents a more important set of reforms. that is the redistricting reform that we will see in action next year with competitively drawn districts and a top three primary which creates more competition. senator me are that is right the legislators have to work to a common interest. but that is a deceptively simple goal in a legislature where the overwhelming majority of members are designed to election the most conservative republicans and liberal democrats. i remember thinking to myself that he will be the loneliest post partisan in sacramento. because governor schwarzenegger occupy the space close to the political 50 yard line and most of the legislators in both sides tend to occupy the ideological end zones. if you have a reasoned nuanced conversation with someone 100 yards away it is not easy. if you bring
