joining me from the gun prevention task force, congressman mike thompson., is this just the first step in a much wider, ongoing battle in washington, to bring in proper gun control, do you believe? or is this going to be as good as it gets? an expansion of background checks? >> well, first thanks for having me. the truth of the matter is, the background check is our first line of defense. that has to be done. every piece of legislation, every issue that's dealt with in congress, is an ongoing piece of work. but first and foremost, we have to pass the background check. we need to make sure that criminals and dangerously, mentally ill folks don't have access to firearms. and you can't do it if you don't do background checks. >> but tell me this, though. it's all very well having the background checks and i completely endorse what you just said. the reality is no one is attempting in washington to try and ban the assault rifles we used in either aurora or sandy hook. no one is trying to ban the high-capacity magazines. and so all the promises and all the outpo

for more on today's vote, i'm pleased to be joined by representative mike thompson democrat of california and chair of the congressional gun violence prevention task force. congressman, good evening. what a pleasure to have you with us. >> john, it is good to be with you. >> john: thank you. as chair of the gun prevention task force, what do you think of the senate's bill? can this have a real impact on gun violence in america? >> i think it can. it is doing something that we've all wanted to do for a long time and that's expand background checks to cover those who aren't already covered. it is estimated that about 40% of the guns sold legally in the united states of america are sold without background checks. this would expand background checks to cover all guns purchased at gun shows and on the internet. i think that's a good thing. most americans recognize that you can't be against criminals and the dangerously mentally ill from having guns and also be against background checks. it is our first line of defense. it is how we check first and foremost as to whether or not someone can lega

representative anna esh shoe was joined by mike thompson, the chairman of the house task force on guniolence prevention. the vast majority of the crowd was in favor of the legislation. but they had a lot of questions for both representatives and about most of them were about what lawmakers are going to do next. >> we have many loopholes that need to be closed. this is not about law abiding citizens owning their guns or hunters, sportsmen with their sports. this is about something else. and so i was able to tell my constituents today what legislation i'm on as well as my insistence and my hope that the united states house of representatives will take up a vote. people deserve to know where their representative stands. >> reporter: she says the defeat of the bill in the senate is round one and hopes the house of representatives will also take up the hot issue now about 125 people were at today's meeting. nbc bay area news. >>> still to come at 5:00, they fought side by side in world war ii and now some of these veterans are going on one more mission together. we'll show you their specia

. >> we're also hearing that congressman mike thompson and peter king are proposing a deal in the house that looks a lot like the manchin/toomey bill. is there something that could get in the way? is john boehner the raelg problem? >> there's a lot that can get in the way in the house. it was always a stretch to get it through the senate. and then the idea was you put pressure on the house caucus and split republicans with a bunch of democratic votes. to do that you need leadership cooperation. the leadership controls the floor of the house and they have to be willing to allow a vote that basically will split their caucus. something like 90% of republicans in the house have been endorsed by the nra. that doesn't mean some of them will split from this, but for most of those republicans, it's unlikely they will vote on this issue even for expanding background checks given the nra's promise to score against it. the house is a huge uphill battle. it's a question about whether anything gets through for the president's signature this year. that said, gun control advocates want this vote befor

we start with democratic congressman mike thompson of california. congressman thompson heads the house gun violence prevention task force and held a news conference on capitol hill a short time ago. sir, it's good to have you here. as i was telling everybody there's a lot going on right now as we speak in the chamber itself with the fact that the newtown families have gone in to the chamber with the senators from connecticut, blumenthal and murphy, trying to make sure their presence is known to see if something will move forward with progress on this, and as we look at the new numbers and discuss about where these bills stand right now, because there is a lot of fast-moving parts to this, but the house background checks bill almost identical to the senate bill that we got presented yesterday from toomey and manchin, when we look at the background checks, gun trafficking, national criminal database that comes out of what senators toomey and manchin were able to broker and bring forward, what is the goal of what we're going to see today? >> well, thom

representatives mike thompson and anna eshoo were both on hand to talk about gun legislation. thompson says members of congress talked to people from all sides of the gun control debate. >> we've met with people who believe like the one member that there shouldn't be any guns. and we've met with the nra leadership. and everybody in between. >> the u.s. senate killed a number of gun control measures this week including expanding background checks for gun buyers and banning assault weapons. >>> well, the suspect in the boston marathon bombings is in serious condition and has still not been charged. as people around boston try to get back to normal, investigators searching for the how and why behind the bombings. cbs reporter adriana diaz has the latest from boston on the investigation. >> reporter: that's right, ann. we heard today that the suspect is still unable to speak. and in an ironic twist he is being treated at the same hospital where some of the victims of monday's bombing are still recovering. armed guards are out side the hospital where the surviving suspects from the

mike thompson, democrat from california, recently said you know, one of the reasons we're having troubleats is because of the overheated rhetoric from the left. so this is not rocket science. you have to do the doable. what's doable this week in the senate and the house are universal background checks. >> okay. kelly ann, it seems to me imminently sensible. why wouldn't there just be unanimity on a universal background check? >> you're presuming there are background checks that will work. everybody wants universal background checks that will work. >> do you? >> of course. the ones we currently have in place have been woefully, painfully executed. in 2010, it's all government data, 76,000 people were denied a firearm purchase as a result of failing a background check. of the 76,000, 44 were arrested, 13 were actually prosecuted. >> right. here's my point to that. i totally agree they should enforce the law better. i agree with that. but on the other hand, 70,000 odd people were barred from getting the weapon. that's a start. it's better than nothing, isn't it? >> it's a start but we don't

can congressman mike thompson of california, congress woman carolyn mccarthy.round checks, straw purchases, on various aspects of the gun issue, i the fact is i find when you get to other parts of the country, you get beyond the northeast, i don't even -- there's a culture where people are very suspicious of the government getting involved in any sort of gun regulation. you mentioned on the background checks. senator schumer has been trying to work out an agreement with senator coburn and there's a real question of how much background checking you're going to have, how intrusive is the government going do get? again i support the background checks, i would vote for the legislation, but it really is almost a cultural issue in many parlts of the country as to the virtual sanctity of the right to possess weapons and out of fear that the government is somehow trying to take away or put you on a national registry list and is going to target you somehow. it's difficult. coming from the northeast where basically the only ones i know who had guns were cops, hunters and

and in my state here in california, mike thompson, who is an avid hunter owns numerous guns and knows more about guns and usage of guns than i do, and so do you, sean, look when you're hunting, you've got three rounds. you don't need and you can't physically use 30 rounds and in connecticut the parents of these children, the families wanted an outright ban on magazines. so, in connecticut this is actually watered down from what the families and the parents of the-- >> do you realize, even as a marksman and i've been-- i've been shooting guns since i'm 11. i've carried guns my entire life and that's the dumbest argument, hold on. >> why are you afraid to register or--those. >> sean: dana. >> and one at a time, dana. >> everybody always talks about hunting and that only makes sense if you believe that the second amendment is based upon hunting, but it's not. the second amendment is defending not only individual aggressors, domestic aggressors and government tyranny. >> dana with all due respect, when was the last time, government, state or federal was knocking on your door, and trying t
