brother, your cousin that was out here shot at this event. reporter: now mayor scott, paula, also stressing that this is not about gun violence in baltimore or another big cities across america. he said america, america has a gun violence problem. he was critical of gun manufacturing. he said that people have access to illegal guns too easily. he said that he wants people to pay attention to this shooting, just like any other shooting in america. and again, police sharing, they are reviewing videos from the scene, including some that have been posted to social media, showing that there was a person in the crowd who had a gun. so paula, police still investigating and hopefully trying to learn more about the individuals behind last night s violence. paula? gloria pazmino, thank you very much. let s stay on this story.
it works, why are we sitting here saying there s nothing we can do? absolutely there is something we can do these elected officials that are protecting gun bob protecting all these. these winds that are pro guns to the point in which does not responsibility and accountability being used as the center of the conversation, but rather access is the center of the conversation. access shouldn t be the end of the conversation. it wasn t in the constitution. what does it say? regulated militia regulated who was regulating? what if you go back and look to the forefathers? it was the government. it wasn t individuals regulating themselves somehow, some way the n r a and those who are misusing the second amendment in order to have done proliferation have taken what we know that the forefathers met and bastardized their intent in order to allow this gun manufacturing continue and have all this money that s invest investing in the gun lobby. that s what it is leading cause of death now for childre
why anybody would say otherwise is beyond me. let me ask, arlette, two mass shootings in the u.s., last week in colorado, this week in virginia. the president says he wants to get rid of access to assault weapons and how is that going to happen? well, the president is renewing his calls for further gun legislations specifically pointing to his desire to get an assault weapons ban and he s running up against a political reality that the votes simply don t exist to do that at this moment. take a listen to what he told reporters on thanksgiving day. the idea the idea we still allow semiautomatic weapons to be purchased is sick. just sick. it has no, no social, redeeming value. zero, none. not a single is, solitary rationale except for profit for gun manufacturing.
killer of my daughter was paying attention to, and so congressman lieu, just so you know. what would be my lawsuit has been filed as a claim with the federal trade commission. i would love it, for all of the democrats to get together and take what we now know and haul these ceos in front of congress to tell america, why they overproduced ease weapons in such large quantities, without any mechanisms for safety that we have the gun violence outbreak that we do. if we force that, we will get change. just as a final thought here, it s important for people because so much of this feels familiar and recurring. gun sales and gun manufacturing have gone up significantly in the last few years, 2020 was an inflection point, gun violence has. there s a trend here that s going in the wrong direction, even though this is a long-standing enduring problem, it has gotten worse in the last few years.
