illnesses in this country are being treated. the opinion of this sheriff, they should not be able to buy, surround themselves, purchase or carry a hand gun. those two things don t mix. as the tragedy unfolded in florida, we were struck by the near unanimous consensus in law enforcement officials that school shootings represented a new normal in america. so, we wondered if the law and order president might be moved by these voices from the law enforcement community. at what point are we going to start to rethink how we deal with weapons in this country. it s not a coincidence that we have a much looser gun control policy and we have a lot more active shooter situations compared to the european countries. we get so angry about this issue that here we are again. there s going to be grieving families tonight again. there s going to be 3,000 families concerned for their child again. and the u.s. senate is sitting around basically discussing, well, let s get everybody a gun
american can travel anywhere in the country with a firearm at anytime concealed. conceal and carry. so you get so angry about this issue, that here we are again, there will be grieving families tonight again, there will be 3,000 families concerned for their child again. and the u.s. senate is sitting around basically discussing well let s get everybody a gun so that meanwhile the senate is one of the most heavily fortified places in america. can t carry a gun in the senate, but you can carry it anyplace else. a remarkable point. let s bring in brandon, a student at the school. br brandon, how are you doing? doing well. just trying to get my brother out and get home safely. have you been in contact with your brother?
an officer. but he was a good guy with a gun. but you and i both know that s not where when we hear from conservatives, the good guy with the gun, they re not talking about the police officer or the woman in a uniform sure. who s rushing in. they are talking about the guy behind you in the seat at the movie theater who just happened to be strapped and able to take out the gunman, which has not happened yet. that s not true. there have been incidents in which mass shooters have been stopped. there have been 10, 15 i think in the last few years. also, there are thousands, possibly tens of thousands of people every year who defend themselves with firearms. it is not the case. as i keep saying, if you give everybody a gun, everything will work out. equally as complicated if you pass feel-good laws that we re going to stop the gun violence. we ve seen 20 years now in which gun violence has gone down year on year. the fbi just released 2014 numbers, down. mass shootings are
