it's not some mysterious mechanism the nra pus in plait. -- put in place. stand your ground is exactly the same as the old-fashioned self-defense except for that one element of avoidance. so if you live in a stand your ground jurisdiction and you act in self-defense, what do you still need to be able to prove? you were the innocent person, you were facing an imminent threat, you were using no more force necessary than to defend yourself, and everything you did is reasonable. the non-stand your ground states, even if you've done all that, if you can't prove a negative, the you can't prove there was no avenue of retreat, we reserve the option to put you in jail for the rest of your life. that's what it means. so, thank god you live in a stand your ground state here in north carolina. now, think about what the consequences would be of a repeal of stand your ground. imagine a young woman named mary. she's walking through a parking garage at night. she's accosted by a rapist. she's had, she's done nothing to invite this attack upon her. the attack's about to hap

even common sense measures that even the nra supports we can't pass. >> dr. rosenburg, the nra's chief lobbyist chris cox said they were promoting an idea that gun are ownership is a disease that needs to be eradicated. should the cdc not be the place where this research is conducted? >> first you need to realize when people don't like the results that they're getting from honest scientific research, they try to discourage the researchers and the methods. the nra did not like the research that suggested that having a firearm at your home does not protect you but puts you at 300% more risk that someone in your family will be killed in a homicide and 500% more risk that someone in your family will be killed in a suicide. so the nra didn't like the fact that the research, very legitimate, high-quality research, showed that putting a gun in your home did not protect you. cdc is the only background and the epidemiologic skills to look at the picture, the picture of mental illness and what happens when the adjudicated mentally ill have firearms. the department of j

head of the nra recently said this is why we need guns. >> there are terrorists, home invaders, drug cartels, carjackers, knockout gamers, rapers, haters, campus killers, airport killers. john: he goes on and on, and those things have happened, and there are good reasons why people should be allowed to have guns, but it upsets me to see the head of the nra hyping this stuff. >> crime is declining. violence is declining all around the world to an extraordinary extent. the number of rapes, the number of murders, you know, going down steadily in countries like the united states, and the number of people killed in warfare globally was the lowest in the last decade of any decade since records began. that may not feel like it tos you in the west because of iraq and afghanistan, but it was true globally that we are seeing much less violence around the world. john: and yet, if you survey people and ask them if that's true, i would think most would not believe that. >> because we were constantly being told about the violence happening and not told about the gradual trend towards less violence

i am a strong supporter of the second amendment and nra i believe. i believe in common sense sensible gun laws. i am hear today to speak for my sister xena because she is not here to speak for herself. xena loved life. all she wanted to do was be a mother to her two daughters. she loved disney world. rick springfield. and helping other people. as a matter of fact her last moments in this spot she was begging her estranged husband to leave the people alone. she was a beautiful person full of goodness and some good will come out of her death. on october 21st, 2012 i received a phone call that no one should receive. i was told my sister had been killed. she was killed by her estranged husband. he later learned he had bought the gun through armslist.com. an internet site that doesn't require background check. it hasn't been two years since she was murdered and it it is heart breaking to know our weak gun laws allow people to buy guns without a background check. she was married for 13 years and eventually left her husband because she abused her physically

to say about that question, but, you know, he has taken some steps in the past as governor that the nra. well, he's not going to be doing that anymore and it's really sated and unbelievable to me as you pointed out and as i read the other day, parents of kids who are killed at sandy hook show up with 55,000 names on petitions. 55,000 names, the parents of these children and he won't even talk to them. it's tragic. >> a closed door sign to the parents of sandy hook victims. thank you both for your time. >> thanks a lot. >>> coming up, will hurricane arthur wipe out the fourth of july? not going to wipe out nick confessore's fourth of july. the latest coming up next.

this was definitely not something that we invented and it wasn't something that the nra invented.again, the book i think that's a very good job of spelling out the collective rights point of view but this misses some of the sources. i was surprised not to see any reference to the book for example to st. george tucker who in 1803 has treaties on reviewing and spelled out the second amendment as it is going back to the construction of the right of the self-preservation. william, another very influential scholar writing in the 1820s into the treatise also on the constitution dow fod the second amendment to be an individual right and he was very well-positioned on that matter as a member of the pennsylvania assembly he actually ratified the second amendment and the other divisions in the bill of rights not mentioned in the book and adopting the individual rights model and even the american bar association, not exactly a right-wing militia organization to the fellow that wrote an essay of the model of the second amendment. so we see that this goes well beyond modern-day attorneys and o

in fact, they sound a lot like the nra chief wayne lapierre's good guys with guns argument.hat's pretty much the mantra for gun rights advocates in georgia today. the safe carry protection act goes into effect today. as we cover repeatedly on this program, we know how successful good guys with guns have been. now under georgia law, you can add alcohol to that mix. the law also allows gun owners to pack heat in some schools, churches, libraries, and government buildings. because, you know, america. goldie taylor is an msnbc contributor and jason johnson is a professor of political science and politics editor at "the source" magazine. they both join us from atlanta. >> goldie, what's the advanced word from georgians you're talking to on whether they're excited or worried about the law? >> well, the advanced word is that everybody is confused about its implementation. you know, who is the onus on? is it on the church to say, go guns allowed in the sanctuary? there's about a $100 fine. is the onus on the bar owner, on a nightclub owner if you bring a gun into their establishment

because he needs the support of the nra and gun owners and gun rights people or do you think this really has nothing to do with that? it's just what he believes? >> it's hard to tell. if you look at his overall record on the second amendment, he's got some votes or positions that will trouble people that support the second amendment. >> weapons ban in 1994. >> and then he's going to have some second amendment folks may be supportive of. the problem for him or the challenge, i should say, is that many primary voters in early primary states will be finding out about those positions all at the same time. so those people that are opposed to him, and many in the media, are going to see that as possibly a level of hypocrisy. his challenge as a national candidate will be to make sure he tells that story about where he stands on those issues that matter to the voters before his opponents do. >> energy behind him, there's a lot less given the scandals of the last year. there have been more scandals increasing than decreasing. the problem for him, he has positioned himself as a person who can do w

the fact that you are a hunter, gun owner, member of the nra. and could you talk a little bit about how you reconcile that, which i think has been a real issue for some of our colleagues in trying to understand how we can reconcile those of us that support hunting with the fact that we're simply looking at some common sense rules here? for instance, making sure that we include dating partners, when we look at the domestic violence rules, making sure we have good background checks in place and looking at making sure that people are convicted of stalking are also included in these prohibitions. do you want to talk about how you reconcile that in your mind? >> you know, it's totally different. i mean, doing a background check has nothing to do with infringing on my second amendment. me as a gun owner, i want to make sure that i keep the guns out of the hands of the wrong people. i don't want criminals or abusers to get their hands on guns. every gun owner should feel the same way as i do. i go through background checks every time i buy a gun. and,
