mayors from cities across the country are making a new push for stricter gun buys. that will be on the agenda as the u.s. conference of mayors kicks off their summer meeting in las vegas today. this is the first time they are meeting since the senate voted down a bill that would have expanded background checks. stephan stephanie rawlings blake is here. thank you for being here. good to be seen. vice president joe biden called on congress to act, what do you hope to hear from the vice president today on the issue? his continued frustration and his continued push. the obama administration and the
doubt. it s worked pretty well for her. it s worked well but lately things are not looking so good for senator ayotte. after voting against expanding for gun buys, she s seen terrible headlines. the concord monitor says, if you want gun control, vote ayotte out of office. voters seem to be thinking about it. her approval rating is down to 15%. 15% of voters said they would be less likely to vote for her because of the background check. she sure did ignore her constituents. but back to that old man on the mountain. it couldn t handle the wind and rain and cold and a few years ago it collapsed, gone, out of sight.
