this just isn't nra's fight, this is your fight.his isn't a liberal or conservative fight, this is a fight for all americans, regardless of where you live. this is in a republican or democrat fight, it's an american fight. it's the fight for every american who's ever cared about their first amendment rights. that's why many legal experts and constitutional scholars, and i'm happy to say, the american civil you -- liberties union, the aclu, are on our side. you know the very idea that all of us right here and right now can speak together freely, collaborate, use our collective voices to advocate for the policies and principles we believe in, that's a special american freedom. and for decades, tens of millions of american gunowners and patriots have stood together under the nra banner and vote for american freedom and second amendment freedom. not with guns, not with violence, but passionately and peacefully with our first amendment rights. for us, and for all of you, the most powerful weapon we have is our collective wastes. i've alw

they do not want to offend the nra and they do not want to support things the nra uses in the scorecarde nra still has a lot of money and they're still giving it and it still has an impact. >> there needs to be other ways to motivate the lawmakers. i want to share what shooting survivor turned activist ashley told us last night. watch this. >> in my experience telling my story unfortunately people do not like to hear it but they do not care. what they are listening to and the conversations we are having is about the fact that our assault weapons are causing a international crisis with mexico. they are fueling the drug trade and enforcing the fentanyl crisis and enforcing the human trafficking crisis that is going on that we hear republicans talk about all the time. >> we do here publicans talk about those things, do you think that kind of approach could work to get anything done with republicans here? >> i think that approach can work. the group moms demand action was a incredibly powerful group, they were advocating and talking about fixes. like a universal background check and a raise

uh-h, hey, hlet's dr the oth nra. uh-h, hey, h les drop t otherra. won: thera's mt tive mbers are chain restrants li denny, olive garden plebee, and ih.they he enormous influence. and they're tryi to prect the restaurant industry. they do not want to pay hier wages in t united ates, weave a o-tieredage syst. there a feder minim wage rrently .25. but tipped workers are allowed to be paid a sub-minimum wage of $2.13 an hour as long as tips bring them to the full minimum wage. the forces of the status quo are very powerful, they're institutionalized. have thnationalrestaunt assoction. even ha people re inhe coness who dot believthere ld be y minimuwage. is no sprise th the .13 an hr habeen stu there since 19. there waa deal bkered between ngress a the nra toay, ok, 'll let u increasehe regul minim wage buwe wt the suminimum ge fren permantly at2.13 an ur. man:hen yoreveal to peoplth tipped rkers makes little as $2.1an hour, st peoplare shocd by tt. and to tnk that u couldbe makg $2.00 and ha to relyn $5.00 an houworth ofips to make st $7, a scaryhing. s

that is the nra. you once had an a rating from the nra. explain to me how a lawmaker gets that.ll, it's given by the organization, but also i talked with groups like moms demand action in every town. i was one of eight republicans that voted in support of comprehensive background checks. that should be simple. there are things like, if you have to be 21 to drink beer, why not raise the age to get a long gun to be at least 21? we understand the mental health challenges around this. groups like the violence project, who have looked at all the mass shootings since i believe 1966, they've looked at all the elements that lead into the meta more foe sis of someone being a mass shooter. that's completely unacceptable and that person needs to be voted out of office. the fact that half of kids in school are worried about having a shooting done at their school, that's outrageous and unacceptable and something we shouldn't be okay with. >> but what is the roadblock? i'm guessing the nra doesn't want any of those provisions changed. so for those lawmakers who have that a rating right now fr

the nra has stirred up fear, they're going to seize your guns, take it back. go up after every shooting. the nra, they have their annual convention coming up in a couple of weeks in indianapolis, guess who's going to be there. the leading republican presidential candidates, including mike pence, including donald trump. they will be there. there's no effort to separate themselves with what the nra is doing. >> you're not allowed to have a machine gun. not allowed to have a rocket launcher, not allowed to have a lot of things. what's a weapon of war. this is one of the discussions we don't get to have. why is it that a machine gun, a fully automatic weapon is not protected constitutionally, and semiautomatic weapon, ar-15, doesn't allow you to do the kind of damage, why is that -- look, i'm not an expert on guns, and certainly not those weapons. never touched one, don't want to. what is the distinction? >> i'm sorry, a convention about guns that they celebrate and idolize. >> when there's a public official being there, you cannot bring a gun. and waco, texas, it

it's not the nra as much. nra is undergoing tremendous internal problems over the last five, seven years. real crises in leadership, and crises in fundraising. this is the republican party right now. that's why it was so surprising that last year congress passed a narrow gun control bill to deal with red flag warnings. it was shocking actually. it's the first time in 30 years of covering congress. >> i remember you being shocked. >> i'm still shocked about it. it's still amazing to me that it actually happened. again, those republicans were in the minority then. they were democratic run house and senate. and we had the horrific shooting in uvalde, with all of those poor children were murdered and i think that spurred senator john cornyn in texas to do something. you know what, after cornyn did that, he was censured by the republican party in texas. we're talking about it's gerrymandered districts in the house, and it's single issue voters, and this is where the republican party is. the republican party doesn't

what's driving this is -- and the nra has lost a ton of clout.is what brendan said, which is among the republican base -- i would just urge everyone, "the washington post" has this incredible series out this week on the ar-15 is and how it has become an american icon, incredibly divisive, but also incredibly interwoven into the fabric of our nation. and among the base some of these votes are just -- they are political nonstarters, and that's what republicans fear most of all. >> and brendan, you pointed out john cornyn led the way last time, but assault weapon ban. the assault weapon ban has some popularity even with gun owners. >> yeah, but not with republican base voters and not with the loudest voters. that's one of the issues of politics. you could probably find a poll that says republicans, your generic republican voter would be okay with something like this, but it's the ones who mobilize, make their voice heard, run campaigns against members of congress. look, i think the nra being the boogeyman has always been overstated. it is republican

the nra was neutral, but the gun owners of america, a group that's to the right you'd say of the nraively opposed it, and it's very hard, you know, as john cornyn said, senator from texas, he was able to mastermind a bipartisan bill that got through ultimately to the president's desk, but it's going to be really tough, particularly now -- we even had co-sponsors of our bill in the last congress who voted no on the active shooter bill. that's how strong this gun lobby is. and it'd be very difficult to get anything done, even in the event of some terrible tragedy like we saw earlier this week. >> i'm glad you name checked john cornyn. he's been pretty clear that he thinks congress has gone as far as they're probably going to be able to go in kind of the current environment here when it comes to passing legislation that has anything to do with guns. our viewers get really frustrated. they think why don't republicans see this the same way we do. you are a republican who tends to see this issue a little bit more like perhaps more democratic voters do. can you explain what you hear from yo

but it is not the nra. it is voters.from what i just told, you from 1994 all the way up to 2023, what people are hamstrung by right now are the folks within their districts. and i think we have to stop putting this in partisan language, and just need to ask the question, do we think children should have to -- should go to school for fear of losing their lives at the head of an active shooter? >> or do we need to get some of those former colleagues of yours in those western states? i don't come from a state that has gun culture. guns have never been part of my life. but for those who represent those states, should they be the ones that should start to try to appeal to their voters on common sense gun legislation? somebody from montana might not want to hear from a new york city person, but maybe if their local lawmakers started to think about this? >> whoever runs against trump has to show that he's willing to take the heat. wouldn't it be interesting if desantis said we need some gun control legislation? something that w

>> yeah, i mean, the politically influenced nra is not what it once was. it's an organization beset by some financial troubles, scandal with leadership. it's not the behemoth that it was a few cycles ago, but it still matters and certainly its agenda, the way it's shaped the message, the way it's pushed paranoia to suggest that the government is coming to seize your weapons is now almost part of a cultural identity. our friend joe scarborough talks about the hyper individualism that some of the right have, they won't give up any of their own rights for the collective good. we certainly see that when it comes to these weapons. the nra still matters in republican politics. that convention is coming up in a couple of weeks. it will be the fist time, i believe, that trump and pence have been in the same place in many a year, perhaps even since trump's term in the white house has ended. it's also possible other republicans seeking the nomination may choose to end up there. trump has not said a word about the nashville shooting. they are not going to be breaking

i quit the nra years ago because that kind of thinking didn't happen.o longer represented gun owners like me, who are absolutely open to common sense -- >> and there's so many of you. >> you get the majority, and yet the nra doesn't recognize them. >> well, their membership is dwindling so was their donor ship. they're finding that out. the problem is, this author suggests that the media play a role in this campaign. i don't think that's the answer. >> why? >> well, for one, trust in media is an all-time low. and among republicans, about 35% of them trust national media. so, if these are the people you're trying to reach, i don't think this is the best messenger group. listen, i've covered guns for a long time, i'm a gun owner. there are very few issues the media knows less about. >> how much is bsa's? >> psa is like cdc, yes, i think absolutely, and showing the graphic nature of all this i think is really important. the biggest change has to come from law-abiding gun owners. . who start demanding more action. of our congressman, of our lobbyists, of a

talk about how the gop hopefuls are trying to woo the nra. >> the spike for the nra's internal problemsds of 80% of broad approval, republican supporters are anti. there's a lot of republicans looking for that as a motivated group of single issue voters. if you go against them, you'll lose your seat, so it doesn't matter what your policy positions are because you won't be in congress anymore if you were to cross them. >> lastly, nick, what are the democrats going to try to do on this issue, even if legislation is stalled, how are they using this as a political cudgel going into the next election. most americans are where they are. >> it's exactly that, a political issue for them they view as a winner. they just don't have the votes. so it will continue to be a political weapon they can use going into the elections for next year. if you want anything done, if americans want movement on this, they'll need more democrats in the house and senate. that's the only argument they can make right now. >> certainly we'll continue to follow developments out of nashville. we'll expect to hear from t

or is it the cowardly politicians who are beholden to the nra? yes i mean, or is it the proliferation of guns? i mean, sometimes we have this conversation without saying guns, which i find so peculiar all of it. and again. it's about identifying what aspect the gun violence. we want to address at a time because yes, there are schoolmaster shootings. there are church mass units, but there are gun violence happening in urban america every day, which is also part of the tally in terms of americans being killed by guns. and so it's about not just getting together and being emotional for saying okay. this is super large product problem. let's identify one aspect of it if it's going to be mental health and demi republicans present some legislation that addresses mental health and stop using you can't do mental health or guns else. you can do a mental health and benefit weapons could do more than one. but my point being is that the important part is find something . do you know that's not even a unified definition of mass shootings? we don't have more t

the nra and the sellers do not care.ne more from twitter, there are many reasons to own a firearm from hunting to self-defense. the second amendment does not require a reason. it is to establish some level of parity between the citizens and government. that is why the left hates it so. time for one more phone call. this is paul in chesapeake, virginia. what do you own and why do you own it? caller: i own a shotgun and a black powder rifle. the black powder rifle can be used for live fire but i use it for reenacting. the shotgun i inherited. i grew up with it with my father who hunted and we hunted just about every weekend. they were bold action -- bol actiont. people have to understand that a semiautomatic weapon is one pull of the trigger, one shot. that is how it works. one of the questions you asked was who taught me. my father. he did not give us our first gun , myself and my brother, he did not give us our first guns until we were 12 or 13-years-old. took us out. we went by the lake and he set up some cans and he sh

i bet if the states or the nra had to pay for them they would be a lot of debate on how many guns welly need. c-span never brought up -- i think it was three years ago when that kid or terrorists or whatever you want to call him, ambush those police. he was so heavily armed with a body armor and all of the rest of it the nra promotes automatic weapons, they've sent in a robotic bomb to take them out. one last thing of course, we need federal money to harden our oschools. no you don't, cut your sports program. society does not need a sports star put the money into that spend the rest of the money protecting your own schools. cox one of his points was about blood testing the shooter. >> yes. certainly there are aspects when you look at history of mass shooters and some these individual cases where they play a significant role in what happens it may be treatments that they are on. i don't know that i have seen documented evidence that the main contribute a factor in situations. usually when you read research on this topic, they done a really remarkable job chronicling all these sorts of

there are a lot of even members of the nra. people who have guns who are saying that we need more gun safety. who are the people who are truly controlling this? you are hard-pressed to find somebody who said, yes, i am pro shootings. >> a lot of the democratic proposals poll quite well, especially among republicans. there is obviously an influential lobby in washington, advocating for permissive gun ownership. >> isn't there an influential gun safety lobby? >> there is to, of course. but the other thing is that the republican base has come to associate owning these a are fifteens with their sense of individualism and freedom. and so the amount of ar fifteens we're spreading among republican voters -- i think it's one out of every 20. a large number of republican bases carrying around assault weapons and do not want to see them carrying white. they have them at their houses so it is a calling card among some american politicians, a pose with them in the christmas cards, it really riled up american voters. i do not see that chang

going toe to toe with the nra. second thing is, nicole, run on guns in the suburbs. run on guns. run on military-style weaponry, slaughtering our children sitting in classrooms. and, you know, we like to talk about the culture wars of the republicans. they want to go after drag shows. we want to go after high-capacity magazines that are designed for only one purpose, to kill as many people on a battlefield as possible in a short a period of time as possible. we have no reason allowing anyone to buy a high-capacity magazine without -- frankly at all. they should be banned along with the assault-style weapons. so run on guns, especially in suburban areas. i think there has been a fear for so long in purple and red states that you can't talk about guns, that you can't run on that. this is our culture issue. this is our issue. that and women's reproductive freedom. 2024 ought to be the year that the democrats run on guns. >> amen. clint, i want to bring you in on this and come back to nashville, tennessee, and show you

if the nra had to pay for them i think there would be a lot of debate on how many guns we really need. c-span never brought up, i think it was three years ago when that kid ambushed police. he was so heavily armed with body armor and the rest of it, they had to send a robot a bomb into the take them out. will we need federal money to harden our schools? cut your sports program. society does not need a sports star. put the money into that. spend the rest of the money protecting your own schools. host: one of his points was about blood testing the shooter. guest: certainly there are ethics when you look at the history of mass shooters in these cases where mental illness plays a significant role in what happened and there may be treatments that they are on. i have not seen any documented evidence that it is the main contributing factor. when you do research on this topic, chronicling these attacks since 1966 and looked at different patterns. you will see someone spiraling downward into a state of mind where they are a threat to themselves and others. what they recommend is people who see

that quote unequivocably felony the position o the nra.hat's the same who sent in this room 10 years ago testified before the committee that are currentlyn the books but is bruin press release did not say that said many unconstitutional gun control law remain in america for the end they will contin to fight these laws. now, after the bruin decision long-standing gun laws on the books have been challenged across the country. more than 1 cases so far. under the new bruin historical test judges decide not a lot reasonly protects public safety but whether the lot resembles law that were in place in 1791 war in 1868 in the beginning of 1791 of course we were taught aut muzzleloading musket. i think aboutrawing that standard, legality of constitutional based on 1791. i think about the last fourth of july at highland park, illinois when a deranged individual when on the roof of the downtown business a discharged 83 rounds in 60 seconds. killin seven innocent people injuring dozens of others including paralyzing an 8-year-old little boy, cooper. i

are you that scared of the nra? i have to tell you, the majority -- one of these days, people in congress are going to give a damn about what the majority of americans think. one of these days, they're actually going to have rules in the united states senate where you don't need, like, 89, you know, people to do what 90% of americans want. 90% of americans want increased -- they wantchecks. they want all these things you're talking about. we're letting yahoos run around, thinking there is nothing they can do about it. members of congress put their little children on christmas cards that have ar-15s there. like, is that what jesus wants? these people, it's just another example, and we see it all the time -- and this is also in the data -- people identify themselves as christians who actually don't believe in the faith. like, christian nationalism, which, weirdly enough, bizarrely enough, ignores everything that jesus said in the gospels. instead, focuses on this hyper individualistic, hyper violent, a set of facts. w

the nra will continue to fight these laws. now after the bruin decision long-standing gun laws on the books are being challenged acrossec the country. morery than 100 cases so far in under the new bruin historical test judges decide not whether a law protects public safety. whether the lot resembles laws that were in place in 1791 or in 1868. in the beginning of 1791 of course the muzzle loading muskets. iut think about drying that standard. legality and constitutionality based on 1791 but i think about the last 4th of july in highland park, illinois when a deranged individual and on the roof of the downtown business and discharge 83 rounds in 60 seconds killing seven innocent people and injuring dozens ofki others including paralyzing an 8-year-old littlef boy. so it's no surprise to see decisions like this case. a panel of judges struck down a federal law barring those with domestic violence restraining orders from possessing guns. i can't square that decision with the actual danger was that women and police officers armed d

i'm not talking about lobbying money, nra, that's one thing. i'm talking about big money in the gun business. these assault weapon bans are so lethal, so deadly, you can't even describe how they tear a body apart internally. and we just had another one yesterday. i mean, this week, it's so remarkable. now, we passed an assault weapons ban in the '90. i was here in the house. chuck schumer was our leader. we know how to get this job done with this bill. we just have to be able to get the republicans in to save lives. theysay, well, it's politically i to them, your survival is compared to the of children schools, in th happenbe. we to and see it's weapons pin got fromkids. generation and these youngkids, at the marjory stoneman otherplace people are the on an weapons ban. one of is in congressnow, frost. sowonderful >> a ban assault >> the americans, as they're getting into and able tovote, are incredible about to and to evade a and as coming to votingage, very focused gunrefo of investigating hunter sort pr that the government is being weaponize

the nra. we have some movement have to show up proactively to counter the nra.show up by the thousands every year at a state legislature regardless of whether or not there's been a mass shooting and continue showing up on the inside and the outside congress. like congressman frost and many pritchard. >> every time you hear, david, i ask you the same last question and so i'm gonna ask you the same last question this time. how are you doing? >> i'm furious and i continue to be furious. but i'm hopeful. i realized in the past five years, march for our lives, it is not enough for us to be fearful and angry. if you are angry -- bring us into the beautiful tomorrow that we all want to live in where, all of our families are safe and all of our kids are safe both inside and out of sight of the school at. work and violence is interest in every community. if we want to build that world, we need to forget how to come together as americans and focus on what we can agree on. acknowledge that there are things you don't agree on going to focus all we can. and that's -- we have

the fact s fred, the overwhelming majority of people in the nra support universal background checks,laws, support the things this legislation does. >> well, you're exactly right, joe. both dave and i are supporters of the second amendment. you know what? after parkland, we saw your former governor, i don't know if you still live in florida or not, but ron desantis signed the red flag law into law. bingo. indiana, mitch daniels, mike pence, current governor, they all support the red flag law. 19 states have it. there's due process, and it's that type of thing we need to try to curb some of these mass shootings that continue virtually every single day. but there's some other things we ought to do, too. every member of congress has a cell phone. guess what? if there is an active shooter, we get an amber alert right away for an active shooter. a lot of students at michigan state a couple weeks ago had that, but other folks, maybe professors, maybe folks in the neighborhood, small businesspeople, didn't have the signal. maybe would have saved some lives and gotten that guy a little earlie

i've always viewed the nra's greatest strength as its ability to amplify the voices of americans all across this country who carry a passion for freedom deep in their hearts. our strong collective voice depends entirely on our first amendment freedom to assemble, speak and you know as i do, that if the government can take away our first amendment freedom, the second and all of our other freedoms are not far behind. are you ready to saddle up and ride, and fight for our freedoms? sound the alarm, because it is time to be all in on this fight, all of our freedoms, all of our way of life, all of it is on the line. let's fight for freedom. by god, let's save the first amendment and god bless the united states of america. thank you very much. ♪ ♪ >> good afternoon everyone, good afternoon it's great to be back at cpac. [laughter] it is great to be back among friends, the lincoln fellowship. i am breaking a lot less bread these days. i show up here and i always leave more energized, it's a welcome side effect. i hope you understand the beauty and the miracle of the power that is the united

. >> john, do you feel like the grip that the nra has this is loosening? ask that because it seems like we've just raised the first generation of kids in an active shooter drill life we are starting at 3 they learned how to be very, very quiet in their classrooms and hide from an intruder. as they get older, they learn that that is potentially a gunman i mean, do you see the politics shifting >> without a doubt when you look at sort of the data on the nra, membership is down, their election spending is down, their grip on politics is down, and the truth is, you know, bipartisan legislation that we have all referred to had every democrat on it and 15 republicans on it. it passed over the objections of the nra and if you compare that to the legislation that senator toomey and senator manchin tried to pass after sandy hook, we had democrats voting against it. we had virtually every republican voting against it there is no question about it. ten years, the nra was treating congress like its clubhouse and tor torpedo legislation, not this year. >> john, sean, t

like greg abbott, ted cruise, haggerty in tennessee, they would rather represent the interests of the nraand big gun companies than to do what's right. the voters absolutely want change. not just democrats. the people back home want to make sure we're providing a safe place for our children to go to school. i want everybody to listen out there. imagine that three families sent their kids to school yesterday. and those little babies, they didn't come home. imagine what it feels like to not have your little baby girl or little baby boy come home. politicians need to start waking up on this issue. we need to do something and do something now. >> i think every parent in this country who's dropped their kids off at day care or school or sent them off to college or put them in the grocery store frankly, has now felt that same way at some point. they've had that same thought. thank you very much for joining us. >>> come up, it's not a story we want to do, but i think it's important. a trauma surgeon's going to explain to us what officials do not. what exactly happens to the human body when a bul

look at this nra's weakness. fact that gun safety groups, the funding in campaigns skyrocketed. you talk about these organizations. >> yeah. >> there have been some steps forward. >> absolutely. and in the last, you know, four elections, we've seen americans step up on behalf of the values that we've all been talking about, right? that's why trump lost and why republicans did so poorly in the 2022 midterms. there were a range of issues that people rose up against, and abortion was one of them. the country is going in a direction we don't like. but it is going to take, you know, more mobilization. we have an election coming. this needs to be on the ballot. i know claire said this yesterday. the gun control issues need to be and abortion rights need to be in every single election, in every statehouse, and in every congressional race and every senate race in 2024. that is what is at stake. americans get that. the more we hit on that, the more people are given that choice, it's pretty simple. americans are showing up

this is the era in which the nra put out a funding raising letter of atf agents referred to as thugs,which led to george resigning from the nra, saying it violated his concept of -- service to country. to attack federal agents in that way. so it is a landmark in the american story of tragedy and terror. and it is solemn. think of the number of lives lost. both in waco, at ruby ridge. which was another episode in the 1990s. and then that emerald building. you just are reminded again, first of all, it's amazing. it's been 30 years. you are reminded again that words matter. that this is not a reality show. this is the real world. and we have to stand vigilant. matt to, metadata d, week-to-week. against this kind of. >> don't worry jon, donald trump is going to waco to dial dent the temperature. isn't he? >> i was surprised by the fact that the rally is there. at this terrible post about death and destruction. and i would recommend to folks here, there is a friday night recommendation for fun. there was an important as a written in 1964 by a historian at columbia university, called richar

thought of in this way, you can say that the nra establishes the rule of law for the workplace. and so the question for this hearing is whether starbucks respected this workplace rule of law. or has undermined the ability of workers to be treated unfairly in their quest to decide for themselves whether they want to union representation. i'd like to make three main points in the remainder of my testimony. first, the scope of starbucks violations alleged and found so far is beyond the scope of the anti union campaigns that i have witnessed during my career at the labor lawyer. second, that these violations should not be understood as isolated acts but rather should be viewed as a coordinated campaign to stifle union activity across the company. finally, it is critical that this kind of egregious conduct is taken seriously. because otherwise, it will send a message to workers across the economy that their rights are as disposable as a paper starbucks cup. first, all address the scope of the violations. as you have heard already, starbucks is facing more than 500 allegations that it

money that these politicians are getting for the lives of our children after getting money from the nray from the cartel of debt that is stopping progress. that the vast majority of american support. >> david, you know, it was only today that i bother to finally look up, what was the senate vote on banning machine guns when the fbi, and law enforcement all around the country said we've got to ban machine guns, these gangs are and it turns out it was unanimous. and that's almost 90 years ago, that we could be unanimous when enforcement in the country was facing a gun in the hands of criminals that law enforcement couldn't possibly respond to. >> yeah. it's quite remarkable that they were able to do that. but the thing that's crazy, lawrence, i know from some of that many of these gun owners like in the nra were heavily involved in it. it's time for action. >> david hogg, we are out of time, as you know. thank you very much for joining us tonight. we always appreciate it. >> thanks, lawrence. >> thanks. we'll be right back. headache and allergy relief! two pills relieve allergy headache p

, where we care more about the nra and money and guns than we do about children and children's lives hard follow california's lead, and we'll all be safer it's as simple as that >> even among parents who agree with your point of view on where gun laws should go, there's a concern, right they understand there is a house that's run by republicans, that the fight that has been had over and over again, and has not been as successful as joe biden or democratic presidents before him would like it to have been and so they're wondering how do i keep my kids safe, right we found a story out of alabama, where $120,000 on two white boards and when they weren't being used as white boards they turned into bulletproof shelters is that what needs to happen between now and when some of these national laws maybe get passed >> let me answer that in a couple different ways. first, we cannot give up pushing in congress. congress is not absolved of their responsibility to act. if they have courage and common sense, they will act they did with the bipartisan safer communities act. they did for decades and

and specifically, the nra' money.the thing, though some states don't need republicans to bring about change take michigan, for example for the first time in 40 years democrats are in charge of the entire state government in michigan the governor's mansion, th legislature and they are using that power to tackle a lot o issues including gun violence right now, michigan democrat are trying to push through a 11 bill gun safety package tha includes policies on saf storage, universal backgroun checks and a red flag measures the momentum to get somethin meaningful done is stronge than ever. especially on the heels of the mass shooting just last mont at michigan state university this week, i went to michiga and i sat down in one of the school's most well-known alumni governor gretchen whitmer. we talked about gun violence the threats on her life, abortion rights and even som presidential politics. >> we're sitting here with the backdrop of michigan state university, or pushing to ge gun reform legislation through because thre
