with the assault weapons ban. when you think about what happened in dayton, ohio, when you think about the fact that that man with that gun with the magazine, of that capacity that he was able to kill nine people in just that short period of time, those kinds of guns shouldn t be sold on our streets. we know that. and i think common sense tells people that. i come from a hunting state. and i ve talked to a lot of our hunters about this. i look at all those proposals and say does it hurt my uncle dick in his dreher stand? i m going to be in iowa starting tomorrow on a 20-county tour on agriculture issues. i ll be talking about the gun issue, as well. it s easy to talk about this in some parts of our country. we need to talk about it in every corner of our country, chuck, if we re going to get the kind of support we need to pass these laws. you know, it is not lost on me that i notice that the
think what he said remember what he said after charlottesville that there were two sides? i think he was speak as a white nationalist when the other side is could you clukts clan. i have said in the past he has racists. he has followers clearly their white nationalists and racists. for me, yes, that exists, but what s important for me and should be for the people watching right now is, how do we solve this? we solve this by taking this to the people for gun safety legislation, and we solve it by winning in 2020. the oemotion of the people to get this done, when our country is way off the ma am, with the mass shootings, we go to the ballot box and we vote. having someone from a hunting state who s been a prosecutor like myself, been for the assault weapon ban in a purple state, in a punting state, i think that s a good person to
back and that senator mcconnell should call the senate back to pass the house gun safety bill that has passed the house of representatives. that would be a good first move. but i literally sat there and listened to the president and thought to myself, this is the same kind of stuff that he said right after parkland. i went to the white house and sat directly across with him, pushing, pushing for background checks. directly across from him and said, this is what we need to do. i come from a hunting state but there s no reason we can t put these in place. including, by the way, assault weapon ban. and including doing something on magazines. he has done nothing. the next day he met with the nra and he folded. so we have heard this before. and he didn t even mention the word guns. and i will say mental illness rates of the united states are similar to mental illness rates across the world but we are the country that has these mass shootings at such extraordinary numbers because of
your screen. in the lower left-hand corner mcconnell wants to call us back. you see a square. it s all in his hands. that is the approximate location we have a bill that came over of the suspect s vehicle. from the house, a background it was parked and then the check bill similar to what suspect left and then wept onto commit this assault. senator mantion and toomey had the rectangular area towards the in the past. now is the time to do it. right side and more center of we can look at the assault the diagram and where the weapons ban which could have prevented this, limits on suspect fires his first shots magazines. when i heard the president and killed his first victim. commending law enforcement, he then enters onto fifth street something i agreed with him on, but the other part of it he and then there are eight other victims killed by the suspect didn t seem to note. this man in one minute was able before he is fatally struck at to kill nine people. why would we put a gun in this th
to have this racist guy. i was telling john it gives us the freedom i don t think i ve given myself a grade since law school, but thank you. i did get the make the case on trump. i did it several times because, again, you ve got to use that moment and not everyone does to do that. i was glad i had this moment to talk about coming from a hunting state like i do, i think it s really important to have someone talking about what s going on right now with these mass shootings and shootings every day in places like detroit, like chicago. we have to add that too in the mix. it s not discussed enough. and the reason we are where we are is this president won t allow us to pass these insensible background checks. very quickly, september, how
