The more we argue about them the more it seems their mystique grows. How guns became part of our cultural d. N. A. Has been a long journey and that is where we begin. Of all the artifacts that were aboard the good ship mayflower. But its going to be they were probably there. Accompanying the pilgrims to plymouth rock. Guns are so woven into the frab fabric that on the fourth floor of the Smithsonian National museum of American History they have their own vault. Im sure there are people who would give anything to come in here. Lots of visitors who are just astounded and dont want to leave. David miller is the curator here. Hes got guns of all shapes, sizes and calibers. That one probably from russia. And everyone has a historic reason for being here. This is the type of weapon that would have been used at lexington or concord. Its not the gun that kicked off the revolution with that shot heard round the world. But its similar. The muss kelp is in every history book. In the smash hit hamilton. Guns are just part of our every day language. Going off half cocked. Flash in the pan. Bite the bullet. Theyre all rooted in firearms lore. But were we really born a gun culture . Historian pamela haag says not necessarily. Listen to how many sentences begin with something like, americans have always. Always loved guns. Always had guns. These things are much more complicated than that. The meanings of guns have changed. In her book the gunning of america haag says most settlers viewed the gun as a tool, as necessary, and yet as ordinary as a plow or an ax. We think we have gun culture because of this special exceptional status with guns, but really its really unexceptional. Treated like any other commodity. The at start of the revolutionary war we didnt even have enough arms to outfit the continental army. Today, however, its estimated we have more guns than people. So how did we get from there to here. And here. The gun industry not the only reason that we got here. However, it is the reason that never gets talked about. Its not just a matter of salesman ship. But gun industrialists like Oliver Winchester and samuel colt did their level best to create a market. Out of their factories in connecticut what came to be known as gun valley would produce firearms with the same speed and efficiency as henry ford would do with the automobile. Best known, the winchester 73 and the Colt Single Action Army revolver. Two of the guns that won the west. But as the frontier disappeared, so did the desire of Many Americans to own one. These guns were not just selling themselves they werent just flying off the shelf. So by the 20th century gun makers started to market their guns not just as a tool but a feeling. What was once needed now had to be loved. There was a strong appeal to the young, too, and the notion of the gun as a rite of passage. One of the more interesting ads said, you know your boy wants a gun, you just dont know how much. He cant tell you, its beyond words. For parents worried about real guns there were catalogs full of toy ones. A must have. Immortalized in what is now a christmas classic. The range model air rifle. It looked like the iconic rifles of the wild west. And nothing romanticized the gun better than the cowboy f. Real life legends like wild bill hickok. Like john wayne and jimmy stuart. Gun came to represent the rugged individualism of the untamed west. As the good guys and bad guys changed, so did the guns. Say hello to my little friend some became famous as the stars who fired them. Go ahead. Make my day. Cowan we take our guns seriously. Owning them is a constitutional right but weve also tried to legislate how to control them. Americans have always had a mixed feeling about guns. Like they are part of our heritage. Even in the supposed wild west,nd towns like tombstone and dodge city prohibited people from carrying guns in public. Fdr signed First Federal gun control legislation in 1934 hoping to reduce the number of bootlegging gangsters armed with tommy guns and the like. Then, fast forward three decades. President kennedy died at 1 00 p. M. Central standard time. John f. Kennedys assassination along with Robert Kennedy and reverend Martin Luther king, junior led president johnson to push through the gun control act of 1968. We have been through a great deal of anguish. These last few months and these last few years. Too much anguish to forget. Too much anguish back then. But what about now. The shooting at an orlando nightclub in june was the worst mass shooting in modern history. Weeks later, dallas, police were ambushed during a black lives matter protest. In both cases, the guns were bought legally. In fact, incidents like that tend to spur the sales of even more guns. In the year after the sandy hook master, u. S. Gun makers produced nearly 11 million firearms. Not far from sandy hook in hartford, connecticut, sits a church built by samuel colts widow. It stabbed as unique symbol of where guns sit in our culture today. Because mixed in with the cherubs and saints youll find her husbands firearm, as art, on the walls mingling with the ivy hidden at the top of the churchs column.

Cowan good guys with guns are the best defense. How does that theory stabbed up in practice . Rita braver takes a closer look. The Video Surveillance from an Albuquerque Motel shows it clearly. A man paces the corridor. A woman exits her room to get something from her car and then returns. And from out of no where, this guy came back around the corner. And this time he had a gun and he was pointing it right at my abdomen. At that very moment, lynn russells husband, chuck de caro, emerged from the shower. And he then moved the gun from pointing at my wife to pointing at me. And he said i need your money. But the gunman did in the know that russell, a former cnn anchor and de caro a former cnn reporter who trained as a special forces soldier, habitually travel with guns that they are licensed and trained to use. You were able to actually move your gun from the nightstand into your husband. Right. I slipped one of the guns into the purse and handed it to chuck and said, take a really good look inside here because see if theres anything you can find that we want to give the man. And chuck looked he said, yes, there is. And they say, as the suspect started to shoot i drew. De caro fired back. You killed this man . I killed him. But you got shot yourself . Well, thats the nature of the game. Its called combat. You might call them good guys with guns. An idea touted by donald trump after the june attack in orlan orlando. And one of the people in that room happened to have it and goes boom, boom, you know what, that would have been a beautiful, beautiful sight, folks. That would have been a beautiful, beautiful sight. Wayne lapierre. And its become a rallying cry for Wayne Lapierre the nra will go the distance. Ceo of National Rifle association, the nations most prominent gun rights group. The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. We asked to speak with lapierre millions of american share the nra it. But instead the nra provided former president and current board member sandy froman of tucson. Could a good guy with a gun really stop a terrorist attack . I think a good guy with a gun could protect himself or herself. If you have a choice of using your gun to save your life or having your life taken, then, yes, i think you should have that choice. Basically the thought is the more lawabiding people own and are trained to use guns, the safer well all be . Exactly. Exactly. This is also a personal issue for froman who purchased her first gun at 32, after an attempted breakin at her home. I think that we all need to be prepared in case something really evil happens to us. And gun sales are up. With background checks on buyers hitting a record high of more than 23 million last year. Is even some School Personnel like these in ohio are preparing for the worst. While many gun rights advocates say its time to end most bans on guns in public places. Nope as gunfree zones. Something intent on rape or robbery or murder is not going to owe by that little circle with the line through it. So you think these itting ducks . Thats exactly right. But Dallas Police chief david brown be r, speaking after five officers were shot and killed, says these good guys actually complicate matters for police. Its been the presumption that a good guy with a gun is the best way to resolve some of these things, we dont know who the good guy is versus the bad guy is if everybody starts shooting. We heard this loud bang, bang, of noises. Colin has been in the thick of a gunmans attack. He was in french class at Virginia Tech on that day in 2007. You could hear it then it was getting louder. Then all of a sudden you could see bullets coming in the front. Classroom. He was lucky. He was shot four times he recovered. 32 people were killed. Yet he rejects the idea that good guys with guns could have saved the day. There was never a thought that came in my mind during the course of the event. I was more concerned with how can we do a better job of stopping the one gun from coming into that classroom. Than trying to put a gun in every single classroom of my school. That felt like it would much more dangerous situation. He now works advocating for stronger gun control laws that he says would keep guns away from bad guys in the first place. But the nra insists we dont need more laws. Ever time you pass a new law instead of enforcing the existing laws you further burden lawabiding citizens. Chuck, none of that was therefore before . Hes now undergone six surgery. He and his wife, lynn russell, believe that their right to bear arms saved their lives. But they say being a good guy with a gun is not a political decision, its a personal one. I dont tell anybody, can out and get a gun, i dont. But if youre going, you should be very well trained. And then understand that even if you have to use that gun to defend yourself, that life is never going to be the same again. Can you show us where you carry it. I have a purse. Cowan coming up.

Nutella spread the happy cowan any discussion of the right to bear arms has to take note of the Second Amendment. And who is bearing arms have to take note of the growing ranks of women. Two reports now, tracy smith will be along shortly. But first, heres anthony mason. At the heart of the debate over guns in america is a single inscrutable sentence, the sec amendment of the bill of rights. The wording itself is unusual, isnt it . Its unusual. Its short. Its clogged with commas. Michael waldman who heads the Brennan Center for justice at New York University law school, is the author of a biography of the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment says, a wellregulated malaysia, comma, being necessary to the security of free state, comma, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, comma, shall not be infringed. What does that mean . The most disputed clause in the constitution is the phrase about militias which were a great concern when the bill of rights were written in 1792. At the Constitutional Convention in philadelphia, there was a very big controversy about how to allocate military power. Nelson hundred, professor of constitutional law, says the states feared the new government would try to disarm the 1 state militias which required every white male over 16 to own a gun. The antifederal lists were very worried that states were being deprived of their power to resist federal tyranny. The militia, sirs our ultimate safety, Patrick Henry argued. While guns were common place then, so were regulations. New york and boston prohibited the firing of guns within city limits. And in the notes for the Constitutional Convention, waldman says theres literally not a word about it protecting an individual right for gun ownership for self possession, hunting or any of the other things we think about now. One side that believes that this amendment refers specifically and only to militia. Well, i know people say that, but it just cant be true. If you look at what the words say. It says, the right of the people to keep and bear arms. It does not say the right of the states or the right of the militias, its the right of the people. The debate over the Second Amendment came to a head here at the Supreme Court in 2008 in case filed over capital gun laws called district of columbia versus heller. In a 54 vote the court affirmed an individuals right to keep and bear arms. Striking down dcs ban on handguns in the home. The inherent right of self defense, Justice Antonin Scalia wrote, has been central to the second amountment right. But scalia added, the right is not unlimited. Also leaving room for gun regulation. Is that a continuing grey area . It is absolutely a continuing grey area absolutely. Another grey area is how the court might rule on future Second Amendment issues after the sudden death of judge scalia in february. So, you know, a lot depends on who replaces justice scalia. This is tracy smith. You might call it, girl power. Women are the Fastest Growing group of gun owners in the u. S. And this is typically their weapon of choice. A semi automatic handgun. Light weight, accurate, and so simple that practically anyone can learn to use it. In states that allow it, a handgun has, for some, become the musthave accessory. Why do you carry a gun . Personal protection. I have two kids. I just feel safer having it with me. Can you show us where you carry it . I have a purse. On my hip. Right here. I carry it on my person. Its pink. It is pink. Im a girl. Turns out most prefer basic black. And since more women than ever are taking up arms, there are gun stores that cater to women. Like this one in shawnee, kansas. Do you get lot of women i want them in my yoga pants . We dont use a belt. How do i carry my gun . Becky and her husband opened the store in 2012. Selling things like thinner, lighter guns and purses with handgun compartments. Does r does the gun go . In the pocket on the back. Has two zippers you can access the gun from either side. These are for like fancy night out. Might be date night. Are these popular . They are. More popular in summer, of course. Okay. There you go. Beyond all the lace and leather, becky is also selling readiness. There are people out there who will sayf a woman gets a gun its more likely will be used against her than in self defense. Thats difficult. If someone wants to buy a firearmf i feel its going to be more of a threat, we wont do it. Everything i sell here is either for recreation which case, use it more than you like. I hope that no one ever has to use it for self defense. She knows what that feels like. Four men selected her and her bus to be robbed in. January 2015, four Armed Robbers opened fire at the original shes a pistol store. Killing beckys husband. She says she survived only because she shot back. Two of the forerobbers are still in critical condition. I made that choice years ago if i was pushed to that point i was comfortable pulling the trigger. Did you ever really think of course not. You never think youll have to use it. We cannot depend on the third party our husband or father or Police Officer or anyone else to protect us. We have to take that responsibility on ourselves.

These arent bank trucks that were talking about. These are Passenger Vehicles that can stop any type of rifle round or handgun. Even up to a hand grenade. Ieds, those type of explosive explosives. But, dont call these vehicles bulletproof. You can make something 100 bulletproof . No. Bulletproof does not exist. All our vehicles are bullet resistant. Not like the movies, the bullets dont bounce off. It catches the bullet. The glass will crack, it will splinter. Dont want it to penetrate. Thats correct. Its not going to penetrate. Which youll see kim bell and his crew install custom ballistic glass and then put it all back together as good as knew. The cost to armor a car physician 40,000 on up and kimball says business is good and getting better. Economic stress in the world, the economic downturn, the terrorism, that type of world that we live in nowadays is good for business unfortunately. Who needs these Armored Vehicles . Our clientele range from heads of state of Foreign Countries all the way down to a soccer mom here in the u. S. Protection against kidnapping, protection against assaults from an angry soccer parent . Youd sight the u. S. Its mainly protection against kidnapping for ransom. Inside the u. S. Usually protecting against random street crime. When i first got hit it felt like a ton of bricks. Detective Michael Levay knows firsthand the value of protection. In 2013 he was shot in his ballistic vest during a routine stop for a minor subway violation. Gentleman gets up, he starts walking towards the train car door. I see him reach into his waist band like a jerk motion, pulls out a gun. It strikes me in my vest. You were hit where. I got hit pretty much dead center of the vest. Thankfully it stopped it. I believe it pierced the verse a little bit but enough that all i had was pretty afternoon giant bruise. The first commercially available bullet resistant vest was invented in 1893 by a chicago Catholic Priest named casimir zeglen, who proved his garment worked by having himself shot in front of an audience. Soon, high profile people around the world bought the silk and steel vests including the arch Duke Franz Ferdinand of austria. But he forgot to wear his vest on june 28, 1914, when an assassin shot and killed him igniting world war i. Recent experiments proved his invention could have stopped that fateful shot. Fortunately for detective levay he didnt forget to put his vest on. Im here because the vest saved my life. And i try to be the guy to talk to some of the younger officers and just, listen, take care of yourself. You could get into a dangerous situation. Watch yourself. Watch your partners back.

Cowan as of this week end the city of chicago, just this year, has recorded more than 2300 shooting victims so far. Now Michelle Miller tells us some unarmed urban warriors are trying to chart a different course. Eddie bocanegra is determined to help chicago teenagers build a Bright Future by using lessons from his own dark past. So, you were in prison . Correct. What did do you . I shot and killed somebody. And you have to live with that . I do. He served 14 years and tee months for that gangrelated murder, getting out early for Good Behavior and earning a social work degree. There was no better way to ask for forgiveness than by doing the work that i do. His work is urban warriorsa program that he launched back in 2014 at the ymca of metro chicago. My name is the goal, to halt an epidemic of gun violence. Every time that we see 14yearold kid being shot and killed it has a Ripple Effect in the rest of our communities. Lately those ripples look more like tidal waves. With well over 300 homicides already, 2016 is on pace to be chicagos deadliest year in almost two decades. And most of the victims are african american. Homicide is the leading cause of death. Nine out of ten times those fatalities are by guns. I would argue that weve lost more children in our streets in the last five years than we have in the last ten years in war. Its a comparison by design. Bocanegra believes that military veterans are uniquely qualified to mentor young men from high crime neighborhoods. So he brings them together at Weekly Support Group meetings where they share stories and bonding activities. The common thread, post Traumatic Stress disorder from time spent on a battlefield. I went to nightclub for one of my cousins parties like a week and a half ago. They started shooting inside the club. A week and a half ago . Yes. A girl shot got shot and Security Guard was shot in his leg. What i got to tell you at 22, veteran Jamal Mcpherson not much older than the young men he mentors. When he was their age he left the streets of chicago to join the military. I think they are going by me sharing my traumatic experience its opened up a door for them to share. Some of the veterans arent much older than you are. I know. Are they big brothers . Father figures . More like brothers to me. 18yearold Miguel Arreol and 17yearold jaime and 17yearold noah all joined gangs early. How old were you when you held your first gun . Ten years old. 14. How easy is it to get one . One two, three. But since graduating from urban warriors they are no longer actively involved in gangs. Is the program is now being studied at the university of chicago. But one things is clear already. Theres a little bit of hope where there was once no hope at all. The guy who came in, how is he different from the guy who came out . I dont see myself taking a life, i see myself changing somebodys life. I dont see my gel going to prison i see myself going to college. Who did you shoot, shawn . When children shoot children. Next. ,, hush my darling. Dont fear my darling. The lion sleeps tonight. [snoring. ] hush my darling. [snoring. ] dont fear my darling. The lion sleeps tonight.

Again ,,,,,, jacques how common is it for a child to accidentally shoot and kill another child . One time President Shall candidate Adlai Stevenson shot and killed a female cousin a gun mishap. That was back in 1912. Marcia teichner has more recent example. They were riding their bikes to school that day. Erin turned around and came back. What are you doing . Youre going to be late. She goes i just want to tell you i love you, mommy. Gave me a nice kiss. Those were the last words and the last kiss lee smith and her daughter erin would ever share. I always tried to make her laugh every chance i could. It was definitely the best kid sister i could have. Whenever i said, i want your picture he would put his arm around her. Sean smith, arm around his sister, the day before it happened. June 5, 1989, in a south florida suburb. She was eight, he was ten. His, the little voice on excruciating 911 call. I didnt know okay. I shot her. I didnt mean to. Listen, who did you shoot. My sister. I didnt mean. Okay, shawn, dont worry. Everything is okay. Nationwide there are no definitive counts, but according to multiple sources 100 or more kids are killed accidentally every year. In mirimar near Fort Lauderdale shawn and erin were home alone after school. Hunting for video games, shawn found the gun in his fathers dresser. I thought of it like any other, you know, toy gun that i had. Because it looked very similar. I remember her backing away to the wall. I remember at that point aiming it out the front window and the trigger went off, just as she was running out of the room. Shes dead . Yes. Get my mom and dad i remember picking her up and putting her in my lap and looking down at her and, its almost like she wasnt there. You could see the light was just out of her eyes. A tragedy, yes. Unexpected behavior, hardly. Everything that sean smith did matches detail for detail the results of a landmark 2001 study showing a potentially fatal attraction of boys to guns. We put 812 year old boys in a room where there was an actual handgun. Dr. Hal simon is a professor in atlanta. Its a. 38 handgun. This was the actual gun used. Was modified so that the magazine was removed, had a radio transmitter was put in so you could actually, enough force to fire it wed be able to monitor it. Thats pretty easy. The boys were brought in groups of two or three to the room where the. 38 was hidden in a drawer. He had just taken it out of the drawer. He turns and goes like that. The university blurred the boys faces on the video, but its still possible to see them firing the gun at themselves and each other. So the 64 kids, 48 actually found the handgun and 16 of the children actually pulled the gun with enough force that it would have discharged the weapon. We looked at those that actually found the gun, almost half of those kids could not tell if it was real. It could be argued that a child shot by a child isnt the only victim. Sean smith got into drugs and alcohol, dropped out of high school. His mothers response im not going to lose another child. Im tougher than that. Im going to save him. The birth of his son, dylan, was what feignly turned shawn around. Now, you know what, you got to be responsible for another life. I was given a second chance. Today he manages an auto parts warehouse. Divorced, he lives with his parents. Dylan lives there, too. Lee smith buys another angel, every year around erins birthday. And finally, shawn can look at family photos. Tell me what is your favorite photo some of. Mine is the one where were walking hand in hand to the beach. Nervous about going into the water. I would hold her hand. Now he can remember his sisters life. Cowan ahead. Without guns, there would be no west. Cowan the view from wyoming. Ents. The winner persil 2 in 1, didnt only beat tide.

Cowan some some city dwellers, guns are a potential threat to life. But those who live in our wide open spaces tend to see guns as a way of life. For that story we turn to the newest member of our sunday morning family, senior contributor ted cop yes. If you ever wondered where the deer and antelope still roam. This is it. Its still story book west to so many people. The big fellow, one whol like hes been riding all his life and bears a striking resemblance to teddy roosevelt, thats bob model, this is his Mooncrest Ranch a few miles outside cody, wyoming. Those are some of bobs ranch hands getting ready to feed the horses. When they head up into the mountains, they will be carrying rifles for protection against wolves and coyotes, or to put down a horse thats broken a leg. Even down here a couple of the men carry handguns. Well, you never know when you may need it. Its an enormous piece of land. He owns 5,000 acres then theres another 195,000 acres of public land surrounding his ranch. Youre sitting on roughly 200,000 acres of my land . I am. Well, youre welcome. And i appreciate that. I would say to you, im a good steward. I use it for grazing my livestock. And i am also a licensed big game outfitter. And youre lucky to have me, you know, watching after your land. You know, when people who dont hunt look around a place like this and you see all the heads up on the wall. They say, what the hell is this guy talking about . Conservation . Theyre killing them. The hunters have played an Important Role in conserving not only wildlife, but our resources upon which the wildlife live. Guns are big in wyoming. More guns per capita than any state in the country. As for the residents of park county, thats where cody is located, well, heres the sheriff, scott steward. If they have guns in the home the low ends going to be four to five. Any end going to be this where from 100 to more. How many people in this county do not have guns . I would say a very minority. Still when it comes to the rate of gunrelated murders, wyoming is below the national average. Sheriff steward will tell you hes already with all those guns out here. He has only a handful of deputies. We might that have three on duty in the county to cover 6,000 square miles. Sometimes you have deputy on one side of the county get a call 40 miles away, chances are hes not going to get there to intervene in any kind ever conflict that may be going on. What youre telling me is people need to be able to take care of them. Absolutely. Guns are woven into the tapestry of all old wyoming families. That of retired senator allan simpson, for example. How long have the sim tons been out here . My great grandfather came to jackson in 1884. My grandmother lived to be a hundred. She was born in salt lake in 1874, two years before the custer battle. She always carried a daringer in her purse. Assume back then folks needed their guns. Without guns, there would be no west. A. 30 caliber. There is, simpson, concedes, a strain of violence in his family. My grandfather murder add guy in the main street of cody in august of 1923. Because . My grandfather was a lawyer, so he represented this guy. The guy didnt like the result, came up behind my grandfather, hit him in the back of the head. Simpsons grandfather got a gun and shot his client, killed him. A local jury voted for acquittal. And then theres the senators own boyhood. I was an assassin. We were bad. We stole shells. 22 shorts and would go out into the hills and see how close we could come to each other in the rocks. Alan simpson, you will not be surprised learns no fan of gun control legislation. Gun control in wyoming how steady you hold your rifle. Why dont you go ahead take a few shots first. Thats the senators son, colinw his son, mac, they call him big mac. Does this sort of match what your dad did with you . What al did with you . Absolutely, ted. What im doing here with the boys is exactly what we did. Theres a real effort to instill gun safety. People in other places dont understand how careful we are. How much we understand and how we learn from a young age. When he was 13, Dillon Romero was already a crack shot. Its an expensive sport, though, and his father had him draft a contract outlining what hes prepared to do in order to keep shooting. I have to keep a gpa above 3. 95. Not do any drugs or alcohol. Ever pretty much. And just stay out of trouble with the law and my teachers, respect him and my mom. Dillon started shooting when he was about seven. Thats how old ella was when we met her. But she and her dad, bo allen, have already been at this for awhile. Nice shot. When is the first time you shot a gun . Well, i think it was when i was five. So youre an old hand at this . Youve been doing this for a long time . You like coming out and shooting with your daddy . Yes. Thats haley at age five. Her dad, justins showing her how to thumb back the hammer on her pistol. Good job. She is as sweet as can be and shes clearly having a good time. Yes, sir. But theres some people might watch this and say, boy, five, is awful young. Awful young. Not at all, actually. Tell me why. Respect starts now. Respect of life. Respect of country. Respect of game. Everything starts now. That all starts when theyre impregnable. Hayley, turn around here so you can see the camera. I just want to know one thing. Did you have a good time . Did you enjoy this . Would you like to do it gibb . At this point, some gun control advocates in our major cities may be shaking their heads in disbelief. Folks out here, though, couldnt care less. And they dont give a [bleep] what people think about them back there while theyre killing each other every day, more than they are out here. Why do we have to listen to that . Out on a pheasant shoot says colin simpson, people and their guns get along just fine. Its a community event. Its a family event. The memories i have with my father and my brother and my two boys and my wife and my you name it, those are wonderful memories. To a great eent our special perspective on guns is shaped by where we live. This is the view from cody, wyoming. At the beginning of the 21st century so, a bold group of researchers and computer scientists in Silicon Valley had a breakthrough they called. The machine. The machine. It changed the basic architecture of computing. Putting a massive pool of memory at the center of everything. And by doing so. He world. Its been a part of every new technology for the last 250 years. Everything . Everything this year, Hewlett Packard enterprise will preview the machine. And the future of technology will begin. See star trek beyond. Now in theatres. Toand care for the things we cherish and the ones we love each and every one of us has a natural, human instinct to cover. Covering is caring. Because covering heals 5 days faster. Bandaid brand cowan whose job is it to police all these millions of guns in an ever growing number of hands . The fbi conducts background checks on gun buyers. Use a gun illegally and the answer is the atf. An agency Richard Schlesinger tells us from the first found itself in the line of fire. Immediately after the shooting at the pulse nightclub in orlando last month, where a gunman killed 49 people, agents from the bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms went to work. Atf has traced those firearms. Within hours, af agents determined that the guns used in the attack were bought legally. He been purchase two firearms, a handgun and long gun within the last two days. The atf attracts headlines and heat for regulating gun shops, but thats just part of its job. Its agents also investigate arson and explosives. They played key roles after the World Trade Center bombing and the ayla tack on the Oklahoma City federal building. The atf bread and butter is pursuing illegal gun traffickers. Got that locked down . When those investigations turn especially dangerous the bureaus special Response Teams are called in. Paul massock is a team leader. Atf prides itself working cases against the most violent sides in the united states. Earlier this year, the detroit team rounded up suspected gang members charged with using illegal guns. Way before the crack of dawn, bill had his men on the move. How are you feeling this morning, sir . Its another day at work. That day at work netted 23 firearms and 12 suspects. The bureau put more than 6,000 people behind bars last year. But the atf has a track record that has put the bureau itself in the crosshairs since its very founding. Our history begins under Alexander Hamilton as secretary of the treasury. In 1719 hamilton decided to collect taxes on whiskey. He created the office which morphed in to todays atf. The whiskey rebellion broke out and some of the agents who collected it were tarred and feathered. By the 1920s it had become the bureau of prohibition in an era when mobsters were glorified in the movies. Agent elliott ness became something of a hero as one of the untouchables who took down al capone. Atf historian barbara showed us elliott ness actual credentials. This is an iconic weapon. This is the gun that made the 20s roar. Thompson machine gun also known as tommy gun and also nope at is chicago type wire. Im going write my name all over this town in big letters. Get out of my way this was pretty hes toe buy . Al capone bought his in a hardware store. Hardware store . Hardware store. The tommy guns deadly popularity led to the National Firearms act of 1934. Giving the agency jurors addition over a range of gangland weapons. Youre controlling americans booze an gun whats the surpri surprise . Today the atf remains as unpopular as ever. Insists that targets only illegal firearms, but some gun rights advocates believe the agency is a threat to legal gun ownership. In the 90s, the National Rifle association referred to atf agents as jackbooted government thugs. Public safety is the reason we exist. Thomas brandon runs the atf he is a career agent who sat down for his first ever in city view to detail the bureaus mission. Its not to take peoples guns. Its to, you know, regulate firearms that can be misused, were a small age seen with a big job. The atf is not nearly small enough for its legions of opponents who never tire of reminding people of two spectacular atf failures. 1993 violent showdown between the Branch Davidian religious cult and federal agents in waco, texas. And in 2009 the atf program to track and arrest gun trafficke traffickers, called fast and furious, lost track of hundreds of guns sold to known criminals. They fail time and time again. Wisconsin republican congressman james sentence brenner has introduced goes bag to reagan years. Bet rid of the atf. They have survived but its critics have scored major victories in efforts to hobble the bureau. Technologically, the bureau has been deliberately kept in the last century. Can you fax over the form . This is how they trace guns used in crimes. This is danielle calling with the atf the Old Fashioned way. Good, i need your assistance with a firearm trace. On the phone. They did this 370,000 times last year. Many Second Amendment advocates strongly oppose a nationwide gun registry. So congress has prohibited the bureau from creating a computerized searchable database of gun manufacturing and sales. I think that having a database of gun sales amounts to de facto gun registration. And that is something that congress would never approve and which i would never approve of. Without a searchable database, it took 12 hours to find out who owned the guns used in the San Bernadino massacre last december. Does that make sense to you . You know, no. I mean, with technology. But theres a lot of things that dont make sense in this town. So, yeah, would it be efficient and effective absolutely. Would the taxpayers benefit with Public Safety . Absolutely. Are we allowed to do it, no. The atf Gun Tracing Center is stacked with thousands of paper records often all but unreadable from gun shops that are out of business. They sometimes have to go through these, page by page, to trace a firearm. Then there are the 139,000 gun dealers that are still in business. The atf has just 620 investigators to keep an eye on them. Do you think there is a concerted effort to keep atf as weak as possible . From sitting in the seat, being around, i would be naive to answer your question to think that the politics of firearms enforcement, that theres not some translation into our budget allocation. Thats a very diplomatic answer. Im learning the job. Can i assume that thats yes . Yeah. Were going to add 200 more atf agents. In january president obama responded to the San Bernadino shooting by proposing to beef up the atf. Do you think the president will get his 200 extra atf agents . No. You didnt even hesitate. No. Today the atf finds itself in familiar position. The agency that keeps trying to exert its authority over guns remains under the gun. That wasnt the case for me.

Carolyn flung herself on top of her daughter when a gunman started shooting. But it was not enough to safe sarahs life. She was 15 . She had just turned 15, yes. One american is among the injured in what is being described as the worse massacre this century. A lone gunman with a highpowered rifle the shooting in cafe in he to be of port arthur happened 20 years ago. But telling the story still makes carolyn shake. What sit like being in a mass shooting . Its beyond frightening. Its haunting. And for every bullet thats fired, thats a life gone. And, bang, theres another life gone. And, bang, theres another life gone. And, bang. And when sit going to be my turn. Carolyn was shot. This is actually me. You on the stretcher . Me on the stretcher. Did not know for hours her daughter had died. This is what is left of that cafe where the gunman started shooting. In the end, 35 people were killed. And it rocked australia. It came just six weeks after a new Prime Minister had been elected. I thought to myselff i dont use the authority of this newly acquired office to do something, then the australian people are entitled to think, well, this blocks not up to much. So then Prime Minister john howard a conservativeian and close friend of george w. Bush pushed through sweeping gun control legislation just 12 days after the massacre. The hardest things to do in politics often involve taking away rights and privileges from your own supporters. The tough new laws banned the sale and importation of all automatic and semi automatic rifles and shotguns. Forced people to present a legitimate reason and wait 28 days to buy a firearm. And perhaps most significantly called for a massive mandatory gun buy back. Australias government confiscated and destroyedrlyea 700,000 firearms. Reducing the number of gunowning households by half. Used to say to me, you violated my human rights by taking away my gun. I say, i understand that. Will you please understand greatest human right of all is to live a safe life. Without fear of random murder. In the 15 years before the laws were passed there were 13 Mass Shootings. In the two decades since, there has not been one. Plus, gun homicide decreased by nearly 60 . It is incontestable that gunrelated homicides have fallen quite significantly. He just didnt like guns. Senator David Leyonhjelm left howards Political Party in protest over the strict gun laws, insists they have had little effect. There could have been something done about keeping firearms out of the hands of people with a definite violent potential. But instead, all firearm owners were made to pay the price. I dont think theres any relationship between the availability of guns and the level of violence. Critics who say, you cant say that these changes in gun deaths happened because of this legislation. Well, i can say that because all the surveys indicate it. You have 13 Mass Shootings before port arthur and nonsense, isnt that sniffed 74 fall in gunrelated suicide rates . Is that evidence . Are bee expected to believe thats all magically going to happen . This ones where i keep the pistols and rifle ammunition and rifle bolts. Lawyer and wine maker greg melick showed us where he locks up his weapons. If the weapons are in here. You have them locked separately. Yes. Locking up guns and ammunition in separate saves is another regulation, as are surprise inspections by police. Melick had to part with some of his prized guns in the buy back. How many firearms do you still own . I dont know. The answer, about two dozen. Which he uses for sport, hunting and shooting pests on his vineyard. I shoot from here down. He sees gun ownership not as right but a privilege. Id be very uncomfortable going back to the way it was before when anybody could go in and buy a firearm. Really why . Quite frankly, i find it surprising that you as an american ask me a question. Its bizarre the number of people getting killed in the united states. You have these ridiculous arguments, well, people carry guns they can defend themselves. But this is being said by a gun owner, you, someone who shoots for sport. Yeah. I have a genuine reason for using firearms. From tasmania to sydney, to carolyns living room. The bullet went into my scapula is. We kept asking if there were lessons for the u. S.
