lay them out for us. that s right. two counts. one each for not appearing for his deposition and failing to a second count for failing to turn over documents that the january 6th committee demanded he turn over. but one of the interesting things that happened today, not only obviously was this was he indicted by the grand jury, but this was initially prosecutors initially asked for this to be sealed, because they felt that it was a risk of either flight or for him to tamper with other witnesses. we learned just a while ago that what happened today was he was actually arrested by the fbi, and most cases like this, the fbi allows people to self-surrender, to show up at the courthouse and surrender. in this case, peter navarro was arrested. he lives just a couple blocks away from fbi head quarters. when i talked to him earlier this week, he was really angry that when they served him his subpoena from the u.s. attorney last week, that they knocked on his door. he said they
the president also wants a national red flag law to get guns out of the hands of people deemed in immediate danger. the research on states are red flag laws, they ve committed to a decrease in partner homicides. in 2021 the california garlic festival shooting, parkland, in 2018 and all the way back to columbine, the shooters exhibited warning signs. so what do lawmakers have to say about this today? let s go live to manu on the capitol hill, and what s the response now to the president s call for action? talks are ongoing on the senate side of the capitol. ultimately next week is the decisive week on deciding whether deals can be reached. any deal almost certainly will fall short of what joe biden called for in his speech last night. for instance, an assault weapons ban is not even being discussed
you know who didn t have their constitutional right to life respected? the kids at parkland and sandy hook and uvalde and buffalo, and the list goes on and on. so spare me the [ bleep ] about constitutional rights. now, democrats are moving forward with other legislation next week in the house in order to include national red flag law standard to ensure authorities could take away guns from people with deemed risk. as you know, the house is a majority rule institution. democrats can do that because they have a narrow majority. the senate you need 60 votes, ten republicans need to join. 50 democrats. it s uncertain what will get to joe biden s desk. thank you for asking the tough questions. for more on this, a former secret service agent and also a texas tribune reporter. there s no one magic solution to
we know when that law took effect, there were about 400,000 ar-15 style guns in american. that law expired in 2004 and now there s an estimated 20 million in circulation. would a new ban be too late? you know, when you have again, this is playing to scale. if you have 20 million of these weapons out in circulation, the likelihood that one of those 20 million will be used to perpetrate a violent crime is high, but your point is well-taken. we have to try to do something. we have to move the needle when it comes to the gun conversation, whether it s universal background checks. high capacity magazines. have the conversation, but have a robust conversation around it to figure out how we can solve for this problem. i want to also put one other data point out there. there s a wild card right now. and that s the ghost guns. when we talk about the
regulations, we re actually talking about legal purchasing and background checks. the rise of these ghost guns that are unserialized, basically gun in a box that can be delivered overnight to any state in the united states, that s a big concern on the horizon for us. and that impacts the gun issue debate ongoing right now. i want to get joshua into the conversation here, because right now in your state, in texas, that s where emotions are the rawest following the uvalde shooting. the data shows in states where there are more guns, there is a higher gun death rate. there in texas, that s a state with the most total gun deaths this america. are people in texas ready for change and gun reform? well, you see this on the ground in uvalde where this shooting took place. and this is a community where gun culture is really engrained into the community. it s a good people like to go
