the streets and u.s. marshals get guns out of the hands of criminal and it invests in mental health, this is the way we address the crime problem in the country. it s in the just by saying oh, we can t do anything or blaming democrats or blaming republicans, this is a problem that we all have to come together and address as nation. this is a real problem and democrats are addressing it head on and unfortunately we have a lot of republicans who don t want to do anything on guns. it is ridiculous to say that we can want pass this bill because there s some property rights issues. an 18-year-old walk intoed a store, bought two ar-15 s, this was a troubled person. this should never happen in the country. we need more republicans coming together and saying that s prowrong and we need to come together and do something about it. and there are several republicans on the hill that do want to get something done. congrats to cornyn. i applaud him. aishah: senator manchin getting a lot of credit
down on weapons buyers or 18-21 years old. mental health issues. what is your reaction to this announcement of framework? it s the first step, and it certainly is not enough. i am a supporter of the second amendment, but when it was passed, we had weapon fired one shot at a time. i think it is interesting to note that none of the school shootings or mass shootings involved in machine gun yet they are legal in this country. in order to possess a machine, you have to pass a background check, you have to be fingerprinted, you have to be photographed, you have to be vetted by the local police and that is where you can own a machine gun. the reason machine guns are not used is because they are in responsible hands. why not take weapons of mass destruction like ar-15 s and put them in the same category? that way a young man cannot go into a store and get a weapon
right away. i am supportive of attempting to pass in the legislature, but the fact is it is not a law that will stop mass shootings. what i just suggested will take part in the congress. the machine guns, you think of the tommy guns back in the 1930s but in ar-15 is a weapon of war on the streets of our cities held by citizen. those that have them defend them. they say they use them. at the same time we see the destruction being cause. they were banned at one point under president clinton. you think assault weapons should be like ar-15 s, should be completely banned or at least not sold. if you have them now, keep them, but they should not sell ar for teens. well, i would like to see that, but that is the ideal situation. if you are realistic it will not
schools and government buildings , but it s abundantly clear that beyond that, doing what biden wants to do, which i to ban an entire class of weapons owned by 15 million americans would not pass constitutional scrutiny, in fac the liberal leaning ninth circuit last month struck down california s ban involving the sale of ar 15 s. biden knows all of this because in his speech not once, but twice last night he said if we can t ban assault weapons, then and he proposed some fairly reasonable other options such a increased school security, red flag laws, better background checks, and so forth. there is actually some bipartisan support for that, bu when he is asking lawmakers to do appears to be unconstitutional and less you amend the constitution, but tha
nine categories of semi automatic weapons were included in that band like ak-47s and ar 15 s. in the ten years it was law, mass shootings went down. falls, a 2004 study for the justice department found the band s impact on gun violence was mixed at best. the report went on to note assault weapons were rarely use in gun crimes. but the president wasn t done extolling the ways he will rip away your rights for its. in texas 2009, 13 dead and more than 30 injured. marjory stoneman douglas high school in parkland, florida in 2018, 17 dead, 17 injured. both places, countless other suffering invisible wounds. red flag laws could ve stopped both of the shooting spirit. fred red flag laws aren t constitutionally suspect they v also proven to be ineffective. new york is red flag laws and suddenly it didn t stop the buffalo shooting last month fred
