moscow. [shouting] eric: they say the protesters numbered in the thousands against putin, gathering in downtown moscow, waving russian flags, chanting, let navalny run, the opposition leader who plans to run for president next year despite having a criminal conviction that bars him from entering the race. other protests reported across dozens of cities in russia with hundreds of people arrested. gillian: despite hitting a brick call in congress, president trump is not ready to give up on repealing obamacare. he said, quote, i called chuck schumer questioned to see if the dems want to do a great health care bill. who knows. schumer confirmed the president s call but says the proposal is a nonstarter. what happens next on health care? i want to bring in rachel bade,
additional regulation. that being said, we didn t saban. we didn t say confiscate. reporter: despite that agreement, democratic leaders are criticizing these efforts, arguing that by simply changing regulations rather than passing new laws, republicans are trying to avoid making any meaningful changes to gun control. they are going to say if you give them bump stocks, it will be a slippery slope. i certainly hope so. but i don t think bump stocks should be a substitute for the background check. reporter: there are already a number of pieces of legislation in the works by members of both parties looking to either limit or ban bump stocks, but as we ve seen time and again, congress tends to take its time, particularly when it comes to heated issues such as gun control which is why republicans say changing the regulation will be a much faster way to get bump stocks off the market. gillian. gillian: get bump stocks off the market. two companies that we know
