at the very margins. but the problem is that especially since the haller decision of 2008 but the supreme court which i think is a correct interpretation of the second amendment, we have a max mallist view in this country about the role of guns. which the nra and other advocacy groups have of course promoted to the hilt. and so we are faced with a situation in which all of the sort of proposals that you hear, even from most democrats and more background checks and gun buy become programs will not do anything meaningful to curb the daily massacres on american streets. the oemg thing that will do that is banning second amendment. there is rules to owning guns but that doesn t mean that someone like paddock should be able to purchase more than 40
about us killing each other forever. we don t organize and march against gangs, or against black people killing each other. that s what i just said. no. no. we protest it. i said we don t do it in the same way. we do violence interruption, conflict resolution, gun buy back problems. i don t march against them like i march against the police. mark, i have to go. answer sorry we are running long. coming up, with the markets in turmoil, we have advice from dave ramsey. plus, will join run for president? and what will ittin mean for donald trump? i ll ask glen beck what he thinks.
flame which should be done in an hour to an hour and a half. thank you for taking to the time to talk to us. and the man who we want to talk to his voice out of breath on a mistake that left the suspect out of death. i shot him. i m sorry. that was the tuls volunteer deputy and a big donor to the sheriff department. he mistook his gun for a taser. she s charged with manslaughter. he spoke this morning with matt lauer. take me back to the day this happened. i was parked down the street at the saintclair station where this took place. where the gun buy and the dope was purchased. he decided to bolt from the undercover s truck and run and he came to me. and two other cars that were in front. i was the last car, as i always
