i was at newtown, there was a sense then that something would change. nightclub shooting there was a sense that something would change. how do you wrap your head around the fact that through all of this very little to nothing has changed? >> well, our political system is, to a certain degree, is corrupt in the way that we allow organizations like the nra to support politicians in a financial matter. and it's impossible to wrap your head around 16,000 instances of gun violence in the u.s. as of today. you just can't wrap your mind around it. no civilized country in the world has that kind of an issue. and we fashion ourselves to be very civilized. or we fashion ourselves to be more than civilized, we're civilized more than most, and we just have not moved out of our own way and allowed ourselves to put a process in place that will keep assault weapons and high capacity magazines out of the hands of the general population. we need gun reform. >> i'm sorry, i have to ask you this. this is going to sound like a tough question. i mean this only in the most r

columbine, virginia tech, newtown, rosemont, parkland. these are school shootings that made the front pages. but there are hundreds of others. 18 school shootings in the first three months of 2018 alone. as horrific as that is, it's only part of the problem. every day an average of 318 people in america are shot, murdered, suicides, suicide attempts. every day 318. that's an epidemic. we need to treat it like one. the sole of our country -- the soul of our country is under attack. can you hear is in the students' voices. i am probably the only member of this body who has gone to murder scenes, who has been there in the middle of the night. see a child that's been murdered, shot to death and know i'm the one that had to order the autopsy. i had investigators from my office when i was a prosecutor notify the parents the child is not coming back. i have seen so many people shot to death. i still have nightmares about them. these are not just statistics. these are real. and those who hold up the second amendment as somehow justifying their op
