and ask people to who ves ideas to log on to the sandy hook promise website and that is sandy hook promise, all one word,.org. it is intended to dove tail with the government and also to expand the scope of that beyond the areas that the government's efforts will cover. this will result in the most rapid and thorough exploration of new innovations that will help us reduce gun violence and reduce gun violence against our children. later this afternoon, the technology committee will be meeting and we will work on creating the structure and the promise to insure that all of the innovative ideas that we receive are developed and funded at the highest level possible. technology has proven itself successful in addressing some of our saturday's greatest challenges. and so today, we call on all of us to turn our attention and our energy towards ending gun violence against our children. thank you. >> joining us on stage are mark and jackie barton. >> first thing that we would like to say is thank you. thank you to the tech community. for putting your time and effort and research into this. and we w

sandy hook promise, innovation initiative. and in the days immediately after the december 14th tragedy, leaders from the tech community, including ron con way and others have shown incredible support for newtown. we are so grateful for their support and we are eager to start working alongside with them to innovate our way to a safer nation. with that, i would like to introduce ron con way. >> thank you. i want to first recognize the families in the front row. we have three families from sandy hook itself, families who lost children, in the tragedy. and then, we also have three local families. and all of you are national heroes. and instead of being bitter, after you lost your children, you are taking action to make the world a better place. you are national heroes. i am new to this issue. i became friends with gabby giffords last year, my good friend, larine jobs introduced me to gabby and mark and we instantly became friends. my wife and i started doing work on gabby and mark's effort which was then the institute for civil di

at the sandy hook elementary school shooting. on that day, mentally unstable gunman changed our lives and the lives of more than 25 other families in one of the worst ways imaginable. we are devastated. in the wake of our grief, and desperate to understand why someone would kill innocent children why someone would kill my child, we started the aveil foundation. jeremy and i are going to play to our strengths and answer the why. we are scientists and we see the world through an imp erical lens. we established the foundation to address the causes of violence through a focus on brain health. i want to start using this term brain health. because mental health is intangible. it comes with some degree of trepidation and stigma. but we know that there are real physical, manifestations within the brain that can be imaged, measured, quantified and understood. we can work with that. and then, we can fix it. we know that people who commit these crimes are sick. it is not a coincidence that so many of these tragedies are perpetrated by young

that's what that weapon was brought to sandy hook school for. and it was brought with large capacity magazines which until 2004 were not allowed in the united states. it is time for us to wake up and smell the coffee. our children and our citizens to be slaughtered. we cannot allow 40% of guns in this country to change hands without a background check. i can't get on a plane without somebody doing a background check on me. and yet we're going to sell 40% of our weapons in the united states without a background check? it makes no sense. chuck grassley should be embarrassed. and i suspect he will be when there's another mass shooting, be one of which will surely take place in his state if we don't draw the line somewhere. >> and governor, if the old law had been in place, more children would be alive tonight in n newtown, connecticut. he could only have killed that many people with the high-capacity magazine, and with the assault weapon, and since his mother had obtained guns legally, there's no indication, no indication, that that home would have

the fastest selling biggest weapons in sandy hook, the ar-15 .a sick reaction from a so-called civilized society, a super power. the idea is everybody goes to buy the same weapon. what's wrong with people? >> there is a ton of money being made now. the gun shop near where i live in michigan. five months ago was selling .45 bullets for $19 a box. it's $59 a box now. they are making money -- >> running out of ammunition. they can't make enough. >> right. >> they can't make enough. they are financing the nra. that means there is more money now for wayne lapierre. >> financing the republicans and a few of the weasely democrats. >> what's the answer, michael? >> there is only one answer. >> what is the alternative to the nra to stand up, well funded, powerful and to do to the pro gun rights lobby what they do to democrats now and make them cow in fear. >> myself and a few hundred thousand americans this saturday night are going to get together in our living rooms, invite friends and family over and have this virtual discussion on the internet. we are

there have been so many more weapons sold since sandy hook. you talk about an intelligent adult debate about this. i ask you as a clearly intelligent man, how can it be rational to make america safer, to try and prevent more gun violence, you would encourage as the nra does repeatedly after these things, more guns to be in circulation? how can that be logical to an intelligent adult mind? >> you know, if you double the number of guns owned by people who aren't misusing them, it's going to have no impact. if you just add a few hundred guns in a community where the people are going to misuse them, you have terrible tragedies in ones and twos. if we focus clearly on the problem which is never the gun per se, but is always in whose hands are the guns. clearly adam lanza's mother did not do a good job of securing those guns and preventing her son who she knew better than anyone else had some issues, from having access to those firearms. even if she had done that, we can't sit here and say a tragedy wouldn't have occurred. all we can be clearer on i

cenk: we found out the shooter in sandy hook, of course, did have an n.r.a. member certificate on him, even though the n.r.a. denies that. it's absolutely true. he had literally four pages of weapons listed in his house and his mom as a gift had gotten him the ability to purchase more guns. how did that work out? >> all right, now i'm bringing in guests, patricia rose bottom down university, the professor she's back. reid epstein great to have you with us, as well. >> good evening. cenk: infames of gun control reid, the president came out seemed to be pushing for a lot more legislation than he is today right after sandy hook. is that an accurate portrayal? >> the key thing he said was sandy hook had to change the way the nation approaches gun control and the way he approaches gun control. what we have seen in the three and a half months six then is he's put forward these recommendations and he's now talked about today was really the first time he made a real big pitch on them sings the state of the union and he's not really gone out and hit the road pushing f

this is about prohibiting the kind of weapons that murdered those poor children at sandy hook.hat's what this is about. that's what he put on the back burner. what was your reaction? >> well, i have so many things to say we don't have time to cover them all. harry reid and these democrats, i mean, this is not something that's unusual. democrats have a history of backing away, backing down. they are the ones that accepted the new math, that majority meant 60 instead of 51, and this attitude of, well, we're not going to be able to -- you know, this is why our side -- we have these wienies on our side. well, if we can't get the votes, you know. this is what i actually admire about republicans. they have got the courage of their convictions. no matter how crazy their idea is, transvaginal probes, they will not step back. they will not relent. they will go forward. >> the nra. >> same way. >> wayne lapierre has driven this cane now since aurora when he came on before and since sandy hook. he has continued to do it. here's the thing about lapierre though. he has flip-flopped on these

when sandy hook happened, and of course, for many years i've worked with children and for the last 25 years as an advocate in my job i work for children, so what happened at sandy hook especially touched me. it was the most extreme case as far as what we have seen in our culture here in america. i talked to my friends and said, is no one listening -- was no one listening 25 or 30 years ago when we were talking about the fact that we were just becoming more and more accepting of the violence in our culture? i know joe lieberman and a few other senators for years sponsored a conference out and washington, d.c. on violence in video games. and the entire time is on television, they have something streaming on the bottom talking about how violent the content of what they are showing is. i have two young grandchildren. i'm very disturbed by what i see on television. even the promos for some of the movies, i put my hand in front of my face, because i'm 62 years old and the violence has increased to such a place that it is something i cannot even stomach any more. i am concerned about our you

mayors against illegal guns released a new ad with sandy hook victims' families calling for sensible and popular gun control. >> i want to prevent any other family from having to go through what we're going through. >> i owe it to my son, jesse, to speak out for changes to be made. >> it's not taking guns away from people. it's making it a safer place for everybody. >> john: try telling that to congress. you see, in the senate, iowa republican chuck grassley says he will introduce his own gun control bill that excludes universal background checks for gun buyers which 90% of americans support. and senators marco rubio and mike lee said today they would join fellow republicans rand paul and ted cruz in blocking majority leader harry reid from bringing his gun control bill to the floor. they don't even want it to come to a vote. meanwhile, investigators have released a list of the weapons found in the home of sandy hook shooter adam lanza and his first victim, his mother, nancy. more than 1,700 rounds of ammo. an enfield .323 bolt action rifle. a savage mark ii .22 rifle. a volcanic .22

how can that be an appropriate response to what happened at sandy hook? >> well, simply because we have gun laws already on the books. most of the proposals are simply redundancy. why are we paying individuals to go and essentially waste taxpayer dollars to argue laws that we already have on the books. laws which either aren't enforced or criminals don't obey them simply because that's what criminals don't do. criminals are called criminals because they don't follow law. >> right. so adam lanza had two rifles, a bebe gun, a starter pistol, four more weapons he took to school including the ar-15, 1600 rounds of ammunition in his house, 12 knives, three samurai swords, a bayonet, eye protection, binoculars, paper targets, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. and he went and did what he did. at what point, dana, do you say you know what, we're just going to make it tougher for people to be able to have this kind of arsenal? >> well, piers, you realize that adam lanza according to the "l.a. times," the "portland observer" he did try to purchase a firearm. connect
