protection is plunging. no legislation passed talt federal level. >> i think we are in about the third quarter and the nra is ahead by a couple touchdowns but the game's not over yet. i think the president overreached very badly, including things in the bill never going to be part of the legislation. it gave time for the nra to organize, it gave time for the senators from red states,et. th come out with very lit until this bill in large part because they asked for too much. the president has a habit of polarizing these issues, running around the country badmouthing republicans, doesn't endear himself to the other side and harry reid would not include a bill that had dianne feinstein's favorite assault weapon ban in it. >> fair point. mark, let's just take connecticut. the state where newtown happened set to pass broad, new gun laws tomorrow. going to get more than 100 guns added to an already existing assault weapons ban. you can say that's good.
