and this is where i get to channel my predecessor at virginia tech. he was well-known for telling generations of students if you are going to understand the civil war, you have to understand the emotions of the people who lived through it. i have heard him say that a bunch of times. i'm sure the audience has as well. and he's absolutely right. for me, the key emotion was feeling under threat from the other side. that is what helps me explain how people on all sides of this conflict came to the point where conflict was imaginable. white southerners increasingly sought not only african-americans, but white northerners, as the enemy. northerners black and white can called theat they slave power as a threat to their interests. it is a mutually reinforcing dynamic, of course. the other word i use is "perception." the way people perceive each other is crucial. you cannot understand the civil war without looking through eyes,duals, through their to see how they viewed the groups around them, especially those that they came into conflict with. now, i get to c

after the virginia tech massacre, virginia implemented threat assessment teams in all of their schools. they used the united states secret service's national threat assessment model, and they have not had a school shooting since. that is why i support the eagles act. unfortunately, no other state besides florida has followed suit, and implemented threat assessment teams and all of their schools. after columbine, all responding officers were required to rapidly deploy directly to the threat, yet in parkland, eight deputies waited outside for 11 minutes while children and staff were being slaughtered in their classrooms. in parkland, first responders had failing radios. that delayed help for victims. s.w.a.t. teams head to room resort to hand signals to avoid shooting each other because their radios failed. as a country, we haven't truly committed to solving communication problems. we can't force all agencies to use a single radio system, but we can make it possible for them to communicate no matter which system they are using. after sandy hook, each school should have trained their stud

that was the result of studies and work that was done after events -- attacks like the virginia techas a particularly challenging attack because of its mobility. typically, mass shooters, they engage at one location or locations that are very close to each other. this one is spread out over miles. i heard the fbi sac state in an earlier interview they had 15 crime scenes that they are trying to get through and harvest the evidence from at this point. that's just a massive undertaking. our folks are incredibly capable. they are very good at this. they will do it well. partially because they have had a lot of unfortunate experience with these events. >> when they said earlier they don't believe there's any nexu nexus to domestic or international terrorism, does that tell you anything? >> that's probably an indication they haven't seen any definitive evidence of a connection to terrorist groups or terrorist ideology, either domestic or international. it doesn't mean they won't find that at some point. when and if they do, i would expect they will change that characterization. again, the

it was newtown, connecticut,, virginia tech, las vegas, parkland, aurora, colorado, orlando and more recent, gilroy, california, and virginia beach and i left a lot out. that's just a handful in the last number of years. so we think about this issue in terms of those who were lost or those whose lives have been irreparably damaged.s sometimes irreparably damaged, permanently damaged because of the injury, an injury that they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. but, of course, you don't have to be physically injured to sustain an injury by way of the impact on your psyche. i can't even imagine, even begin to imagine, nor can most people imagine the horror of being anywhere near a mass shooting. so tonight we remember those those communities. we also remember the individual people who were lost, the individual families who were affected. mothers and fathers and brothers and sisters, children in so many of these a instances, children e directly affected orir indirecty but that indirect effect means that they lost a parent or the lost a sibling, or get lost something in that

consider the public mass shootings in sutherland springs, texas, charleston, south carolina, and virginia tech university. the shooters in all those cases were prohibited from purchasing firearms. they were nonetheless able to do so because background checks did not identify them as prohibited. the necessary information was simply missing from the data. underreporting appears to be -- underreporting of prohibiting events appears to be widespread, such that there seem to be many thousands of persons who are prohibited but whose prohibitions will not be detected by background checks if they seek to purchase firearms. and as you know, reporting of these data by state and local agencies is voluntary. that said, the situation has improved. several of the studies, including those by our group, suggesting a lack of population will benefit from these policies were conducted by 15, 20 years old or more. similar studies conducted on more recent data would yield positive results. and fortunately, very detailed information on the shortcomings and on recommendations for their improvement has been compiled

no one has talked about the virginia tech massacre. that guy used two handguns.un in the classroom and sandy hook. we seem to forget that a gun does not kill anybody, it is the person behind it that pulls the trigger. this idea of mental health, how would that work? if a person is deemed that because someone does not like them, that individual will spend the rest of their lives trying to get their license or writes back and it will cost them a lot of money. why should a person might be presumed innocent have to go through that mess? those are my questions. host: ok. guest: i appreciate what you are saying, as far as the ar-15 concern goes, it is a victim of its popularity. with trafficsessed accidents, which kill more people every year. both gun deaths or suicide, i believe i have a graphic about this that breaks down the amount of gun deaths. yes, that first one. the fact is very few violent crimes are committed with a rifle of any type. inexpensive, reliable, and available, which is why they are popular. it is the same reason law enforcement uses them in the mi

and some of these things, when it comes to the mental illness issue, living in virginia with the virginia tech shooting, one of the problems that came up there was that the shooter had had some issues, but they could not be released because of the hit the laws. hippa laws. maybe they need to release those when it comes the background checks. i am in agreement, even though i am a sportsman, i am in agreement that you do not need , you know, you don't need those for hunting and sport it. so i am in agreement that that needs to be done and they need to go back. i'm an agreement. they need to go back with the assault weapons, get the military style weapons off the ofeet, and limit the number rounds you can put in a clip. host: appreciate your calling in the. that was paul from virginia. back to "the new york times," reporting on the shootings in texas, five dead, 21 injured, writing that the attack came after just four weeks after one of the deadliest mass shooting's in texas history when a 21-year-old gunman opened fire on august the third met --avid is next, madison heights, michigan, democratic

the chair: the gentleman from you rhode island virginia tech. mr. cicilline: i want to respond briefly to the notion that somehow forced arbitration is good for consumers and workers and they are going to be forced into these proceedings. according to a 2017 study by the economic policy institute, consumers won only 9% of the claims brought in arbitration, while companies won 93% of the claims. in terms of who wins, who has the benefit of this rigged system, it's clear it's the corporations. the economic policy institute -- economist heidi schuerholz, notes, not only do companies win in the overwhelming majority of claims when consumers are forced into arbitration, they win big. and the consumer protection, financial protection bureau concluded in 2015 there is no evidence of arbitration clauses leading to lower prices for consumers. this notion of somehow even though 83% of the american people are against forced arbitration, even though the evidence shows overwhelmingly they lose in them, somehow they really like them. just not true. with that i re
