shootings that we have seen in this country? the honest answer is i don t know. i want to say about what happened today with the president proposing, i think it s a modest set of steps. if you want to buy a gun and pass background checks for 99% of the people in the united states who want to buy guns there s going to be no change in anything that s going felon in way they buy guns today. it s about shutting down the ability of people operating on the margins to make sure the system is applying to all gun sales. this is a modest step forward. why would the president not propose something that would stop the mass shootings that we have seen if that s what we re talking about? the answer is the only thing that he could possibly propose
moderate on gun control. she has gone hard left. in fact, just a few moments ago she double downed by saying that president obama basically got the idea for these executive measures from her. listen. i am very proud of president obama s announcement today to try to have some sensible gun safety measures to protect the american people. in fact, i feel really good because i called for some of those measures a couple of months ago. this is where it could hurt her. beyond just gun, hillary clinton has said she would go further than president obama with executive action on issues like immigration. if this gets the right fired up, and she gets the democratic nomination, this could be a problem for her. interesting. another big issue for democrats, wall street reform. you had a one-on-one with senator sanders and he thinks he can win. he does high pressure he set a record by crossing a threshold
firearms? i don t know people are against it. it s important the way laws are written. they can only be written by congress. they cannot be written by the president. many people may favor his proposa proposals. he claims gun owners favor it and i m not in a position to dispute that. you can find polls to support anything. under our system, his job is not to take a poll and then decide what laws he s going to write. his law is to enforce the law that congress has written. every president does executive orders, executive actions, hundreds of them. what will stop him? will the courts stop him? if he attempts to prosecute someone, if his justice department attempted to prosecute someone who failed to register as a dealer because they gave a gun to their nephew. that person and their lawyer will challenge this. real quickly. the next president in office can wipe this out?
first graders. from every family who never imagined that their loved one would be taken from our lives but a bullet from a gun. every time i think about those kids it gets me mad. the president said new executive orders will not prevent all gun violence but are common sense reform. he is calling for licensing requirements for gun dealers online or at a gun show. dealers must report lost or stolen firearms. states will be able to share mental health information and president add more atf and staffers to expedite the background checks. he pushed to fund new gun safety
