the national firearms museum is -- is atheadquarters the nra headquarters in fairfax, virginia. we are custodians of about 7000 firearms that have been donated to us over the past 75 years. we have about 3000 on display here. what i want people to come away with the museum with beyond the, that is a lot of cool guidance, --ch is very important to us it's an understanding of the unique relationship between americans and their firearms and the very integral role firearms have played in the history of america. we have phil schreier, senior curator at the national firearms museum, and we are starting in the robert e petersen gallery. mr. peterson was a magazine publisher and had one of the finest if not the finest firearms collections in the country. what you see is the robert peterson gallery, the finest single room of firearms anywhere in the country. firearms she 2011 left, the museum kicked what we could display. -- picked what we could display. perhaps one of the finest he royal, was the grand winchester model 21 which is considered the finest winchester side-by-side shotgun eve

guns are ubiquitous thanks to advocacy of the nra. ining me is jim cavanaugh, retired atf special agent in charge and chief johnson of the national law enforcement partnership to prevent gun violence and police chief of baltimore county, maryland. thank you. i want to speak to mr. cavanaugh first. what is it about the nra's current position that seems to the allow them or force them to say nothing this these days since the tragedy where the young 9-year-old girl was shooting an automatic weapon. >> chris, i would say that lobby groups like the nra don't feel they have to say anything. today tuck in, get advice from the public affairs specialist to just stay out of the fray. you know they are very adept at maneuvering the trenches on the hill up there as you are know. they will probably stay out of the fray. if they say anything they may issue condolences or something. they will let it play out for operatorses of ranges around the country. i think they'll let it play out for the operators and ranges around the country. you know, there's

the nra seems to have missed the entire thing. it is dudes in s.w.a.t. gear and tanks marching in america's streets. >> i will make a quote now. there has been a noticeable silence from the nra. and it is curious because this is sort of the scenario that they always paint as the nightmarish obama era government run amuck type of police state that the people need to arm themselves for. now that being said, some of the more fringy begun rights groups have actually spoken up. and they've ugsed this almost as a business proposition. encouraging people to go out there and buy guns and arm themselves to the teeth. which is somewhat expected for these groups but still a bit of an alarming trend. so we're actually in the midst of doing reporting about why it is that the nra hasn't spoken out more forcefully on this or come up with a more obvious policy position or take on this matter. i'm a bit curious as to what's going on. >> brian, do you have a thesis or theory? >> i do have a theory, yeah. i think that -- >> do you want to share it w

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 justice can look at what happens when convicted felons and criminals have firearms. but the cdc has the

>> well, you know, as the nra says, guns don't kill people, people kill people. and in this case, there was some bad judgment. and we need to focus on addressing and preventing the next tragedy. and we can do that by starting a national dialogue, a conversation about how do we keep children safe from unintentional shootings. it is the adult's responsibility to do that. well would welcome the nra to join that conversation with us and to talk about how do we truly keep children safe from guns in this country? we are not doing a good job of it when you compare our country to developed nations. and it's time for us to start a national conversation. >> do you really think the nra will engage you in that conversation? >> well, they should. their members, 74% of nra members support things like background checks. 90% of americans do. they need to come to the middle and stop moving so far in the extremists arena, and really start to have a dialogue and a conversation with the rest of america. >> almost nothing in this country really is as polarizing when you deal with -- w

the other point is i think the nra should do a revise. take the ad and add an ending. i think it is brilliant. it is a remix. guns are better for feminists than actual feminism. it is an equalizer. if a woman has a gun -- a man can't afford but to take you seriously. if you buy a gun and you learn how to use it -- >> you don't even need to put it out. not that i have ever done anything like that before. >> my sister's corrections and you put it on the table on thanksgiving right in front of me. people have to be honest. yeah, you need them and there is only one reason to get guns and that's to shoot them. stop lying about security. you just want to shoot it. >> no, it is for defense. >> show it to the criminal? >> i used to drive across the country by myself and i had a nice little walter 25 on the seat. >> you shot it before. >> i had shot it before. i am not holding it out the window. >> otherwise you would get a fake gun to protect your family. >> the only reason i have a car is to drive it. >> so people act like i am getting it to protect my family. no you are not.

things most powerful about your testimony is the fact you are a hunter, a gun owner, a member of the nra. could you talk about how you reconcile that, which i think has been an issue for some of our colleagues in trying to understand how we can reconcile those that support hunting with the fact we are looking at commonsense rules here? for instance, making sure we include dating partners when we look at domestic violence rules, making sure we have good background checks in place, and making sure people convicted of stalking are also included in these prohibitions. do you want to talk about how you reconcile that in your mind? >> it is totally different. doing a background check has nothing to do with infringing on my second amendment. makegun owner, i want to sure i keep guns out of the hands of the wrong people. oron't want criminals abusers get their hands on guns. i think every gun owner should feel the same as i do. checksrough background every time i buy a gun. i feel everybody should go through a background check without a doubt. it takes five minutes to fill out a form. in my case

you mentioned you're a member of the nra, honorary member of the police department in louisiana.t part is to your message? >> i think any time you're attempting to have a conversation to try and affect change, you have to find a common ground. and we can't do that by pointing the finger at others. truthfully, black on black crime is is the number one killer of black people as white on white crime is the number one killer of white people. so to point the finger at those organizations and point them at a color that says they are all bad or they do not have members that are, in fact, people of color who are just as outraged as we are, i don't think is a -- it's not a reasonable conversation. it's a ridiculous point. so for me it was to say, if we're going to solve this problem, it's something we all do together. and us versus them. and to me, us versus them is a really simple group. there is us, the people who want to spread love and leave this world better for our children than they found it. and there's them, the people who are okay with the status quo. and really don't see any re
