now on thursday, we saw massive protests here inside and outside of the state capital. with children, teenagers, parents here urging tighter gun control , chanting within the hallways of the state capital here, save our children or children are dying, and then john also appointed seen inside of the senate gallery with the child sitting down there holding up a sign saying, i m nine that is pointing to the fact that half of the six victims were just nine years old. now according to the gun archive, the gun violence archive. this shooting is among 130 mass shootings involving for at least four people getting injured and we are only in april. it is the deadliest us school shooting since you ve all d texas. just in may of last year, john isabelle. obviously tennessee is a state very pro gun rights states. so how are these calls
today because they were in a performance session. he said he s not for background checks or red flag. this is him. as for bipartisan background check legislation which he repeatedly voted against, he said i don t expect things have changed much. well, there s two points i want to make. trump will do whatever trump thinks he needs to do for his re-election and he won t care where the party goes. he ll do what he wants to do. you saw it for the 2018 election. he kept pushing the caravans and that was a disaster for house republicans. that was not the argument they needed to make going down the down to the election. right. the second part is look at the senate races in 2020. you have purdue in georgia, you have john cornyn in texas. these are not states these are really strong gun rights states. but then again, you have colorado and you have maine. mcconnell is in a different

the president has shown a willingness to do things that are perhaps not in his own political self interests and then it dissipates as the nation moves on to other issues. that will be one of the big tests with this, can the young people who have brought so much attention to this sustain that. and is the political will changing at all and we ve got certainly a respond now coming from gun rights supporters through the nra that appears to be ready for quite a battle other than where this lands legislatively. yeah, but i think one big clue is the people invited to today s meeting who are mostly at least according to their past records, we ll have to see what they say, but they are mostly from gun rights states, gun rights advocates. this is a very different meeting. this is a meeting to reassure the base. thanks so much, kelly o donnell. on wednesday night, fred guttenberg, a parkland resident, lost his 14-year-old day in the tragedy, and he confronted senator marco rubio on the use
