names of all of the victims and, yet, the folks in the building behind me, the capitol, even though they ve been the victims of mass shootings in recent years, have done nothing about it. so in our last minute, jeff, i want to ask you about the big picture here. the washington post has a terrific article describing what they call the president s lost summer, a series of self-inflicted wounds from incendiary comour congresswomen of color, certainly the problems he has had as a result of the trade war. this is a president who is in need of a political win, frankly. why isn t gun control on that list? are the people within the white house truly of the mind that he loses more than he gains, for example, if he goes behind if he gets behind background checks? well, a good question. i think the president as jonathan was just saying and as you were saying earlier has certainly shifted his positions on gun control as he does on some other policy areas.
guns out of the hands of america. this isn t gun control, this is simply making sure that people should no be allowed to buy a gun, criminals, minors, people with psychiatric problems, make sure they can t buy guns. nobody is going to take anybody s gun away, nobody is going to keep you from hunting organize target practice or protecting yourself. it s just making sure that a handful of people shouldn t have guns don t get their hands on it. i m all for it s your money, he earned it. he made himself. spend the way you like. the difference when a guy like david koch does it, he s unamerican. bloomberg does it, it s great job mayor. thank you. i think his heart is the right place, but is he putting his money in the right spot? the rules and laws on the books to prevent people from getting guns from getting them. as you well know, if up a gun,
