as long as guns are so easy to get in north carolina and virginia, which they are, they come up here and they are used in crimes up here. so unless you have national gun control and unless states also regulate it, you're not going to have any -- >> to that point one of the programs in the bush administration was called project, i'l exile, they prosecd federal law state violations. they ended up locking up local criminals in federal courts to get them off the streets and the carry rate diminished by 50%. in other words, there are federal things that this administration can do now that would help gun control efforts that doesn't require passage of congress. >> it doesn't have to be either or. even if we were totally to concede all of that, we could say because 40% of the guns are bought at a gun show or other places like that where there's no background check whatsoever, that even all the best enforcement of the laws would not matter whatsoever. i think walmart is the potential partner. why? walmart has an economic incentive to end the gun show loophole so people buy their guns at walm
