massive hotels at a time when are you going to get 45 million tourists feeling safe in las vegas? this is a moment for president trump. we said is he ever going to pivot? he says he s pragmatic, he s bound to no one. well, great, do something. do something now. 22,000 people ran right by where we are running for their lives two nights ago. think about all the people who want some sort of change, lawrence. and the president so far is in that republican chorus of now is not the time to talk about it. when is the time to talk about it? after a massive storm, are you not supposed to talk about climate? after the financial crisis, didn t you talk about banking? after something like this, it s the top of mind, i assure you, parents, family members of those who lost their lives, they want to talk about gun control.
talk about how these are illega illegal, they haven t been legal in america for a really long time. i think there have been three crimes in the last 70 years committed with a machine gun. but if everyone can accept this, including gun rights advocates, that s machine guns should be illegal, it seems to me that there is wiggle room to say that it turning your rifle into a machine gun is at least a violation of the spirit of the law. basically, i am with charlie on this. the problem that they democrats face on the gun control push is that this is essentially one of these cultural bubble issues. liberals, this is a generalization, but urban liberals it just don t know people who have guns, they don t understand why he would want to have a gun. and we have about a third of american households having guns, and the proposed remedy will almost never do anything to stop any of these mass shootings which we have seen, and
on why this happened. and the reality is that much of it is rooted in the evil inside this one individual. but much of it is also rooted in our laws which allowed him to get his hands on weapons that are illegal in almost every other civilized country. well actually the house was expected to act sooner than nra backed bill that would have eased regulations on gun silence silencers. speaker paul ryan today said that bill is currently not scheduled. ryan was also asked what congress plans to do to make americans more safe given these frequent mass shootings. i think one of the things that we ve learned from these shootings is that often underneath this is a diagnosis of mental illness. i think it s important that as we see the dust settle and we see what was behind some of these tragedies, that mental health reform is a critical ingredient to making sure that we can prevent these things from happening. the last gun control push, a
of reaction yet from republicans. and now this has come down, reince priebus has said, and i ll only read a little bit of this, ever since the american people voted to place a check on president obama s agenda, he has routinely overstepped his constitutional authorities, and this gun control push is no different. the supreme court reaffirmed gun ownership is a constitutionally-protected right, but that clearly has not stopped president obama and the democrats obsession with restricting the second amendment. to that coming from the rnc. your quick thoughts. andrea: so what are you going to do about it? that is what i keep asking the judge. s what the pathway forward? because there s a legal one and a political one, and republicans need to pursue both with the same intensity and the same ferocity because this is such an affront to the constitution. well, unless and until somebody s freedom is interfered with by federal agents that he has directed to interfere with that freedom, there
lynch, director comey as well as deputy director brandon about some of the ideas and n initiatives that they think can make a difference. the good news is these are not only recommendations that are well within my legal authority and the executive branch, but they re also ones that the overwhelming majority of the american people including gun owners support and believe in, the recommendations that are being made by my team here are ones that are entirely consistent with the second amendment. and people s lawful right to bear arms. and later in the week, the president will hold a town hall to talk about his gun control push. here with reaction, the host of dana on the blaze, dana loesch, kirsten power, bo dietl. kirsten, i ll start with you because you re on the other side of the aisle, but i consider you
