hell yes is what he said. taking away assault weapons. where was the applause louder in the room of democrats or among republicans who support the nra position? >> well, from a policy and campaign standpoint, let's say the republicans can say he gave a gift to republicans who have said all along the ultimate goal of democrats is to confiscate guns. congressman o'rourke received well deserved praise for the leadership and the compassion he showed in the wake of the terrible shootings in el paso. hats off to him for that. he's understandably emotional and that led to extreme comments on confiscation of guns. even democrats have said today it under mines current bipartisan efforts to go about sensible gun violence control. and also is counter productive to the progress that has been made. so in my view i understand why he is extremely emotional. efts are under way.
