we are hoping for flexibility. ,nderstanding that as we heard every state approaches this differently. every state is somewhere different on the continuum. we have to have flexibility to acknowledge that. the other piece that is important is time. standards these are that are going to be set at the federal level doesn't mean in the blink of an eye we can get everything approved at the state level. all of you know how slow it takes to get the rings -- did things through the legislative process. the fastest route is 9-10 months. those are the kinds of things. it depends if it is an election year or not. the flexibility, and the tightening that is going to be critical for each of the states. there a things we have to implement double choir changes require changes. >> i want to mention, if you have questions, write them on a card and make sure you raise your hand. someone will gather them. i want this panel to have questions from the audience. thank you. the thankke to echo you to the bipartisan policy center for convening this form. and, to the epa for the listening sessions we have been

. >> i'm really struggling to nderstand the situation.ying a game over ukraine which could result in both sides losing out. i don't understand how this ends. putin clearly wants something to happen in the ukraine. the west does not want it to happen. somebody is going to have to make a decision, that that they are putting gas before the stability of ukraine. at some point this is going to come to a head. once it does, it is going to be very difficult to backtrack from. >> the stakes are very high and the damage, very unnecessary in my own view and my own humble opinion is not unique, it would be very grave. the gas element is the single largest, but it is not only. russia is a large market for european industry. there was a large deutsche bank report that said the recession of 2009 would knock half a percentage point off german g.d.p.. >> i think you put it very well. europe, especially the united states, does not want to oncede to russia especially in ukraine. president putin is determined to that. it will cause huge damage to the europe

and people really need to .nderstand people die by0 firearms each year.in january, 2013, president barack obama presented his plan to prevent gun violence in the u.s. his plans include, improving the system, banning assault weapons and large capacity magazines of ammunition , creating stricter trafficking for the gun violence epidemic. >> i guess, my priority, i feel strongly about assault weapons and others that have military applications, not things that people need for hunting or if they want to use it for self-defense in their home. the irony is, and those of you who have studied it know that people with guns in their home are more likely to be subjected to gun violence. and the victims are very often family and friends. a firearm with a large magazine capacity or that can hold a higher capacity is not one that the particular gun is anymore dangerous or vicious or any more of a problem than any other firearm that can hold a single round. the issue is with the person behind the gun and what their intent is. >> i do think that you can respect the second

country, where we thought we had broken out of the civil war, what the heck does it take for people to nderstand that you shouldn't hate the president so much that you're ready to destroy the republican party, the entire congress, but most of all the people of this great country. we have been able to take people of all colors, all blood, all languages and they didn't come here and just fall in love with each other. they hardly knew each other. but somehow they set aside became ferences and the power of the world and that power just wasn't in dollars and cents and the ability to have more than any other country in wealth, but it was hope. it was the ability to believe. that no matter what level of you conomy you are in, could achieve. this could not be said for many of the countries in europe. that's why they love their countries, but they cared for their families here. and now we have millions of people whose complexes look more like the people -- complexions look more like the who were here when columbus discovered them. then you find a hatred which defies economics and sound politics against p
