this week the president seems to be yielding to the influence of the nra and the gun manufacturers. >> also very, very concerned with the second amendment. more so than most presidents would be. people don't realize, we have very strong background checks right now. you go in to buy a gun you have to sign up. there are a lot of background checks that have been approved over the years. >> well, texas democratic congresswoman veronica escobar is joining me right now. first of all, i want to ask you how you and your district are doing. you spent a lot of time with the community these last two weeks. >> thank you for having me, andrea. the community is incredible. just full of love and kindness and generosity but we are still a community in pain. trying to make sense of what is a very senseless act. trying to understand how we can best create change so that no other community has to go through what we have endured.
