the past. all these negotiations with the taliban, i met with president ghani once during this period of time, he was not engaged. he was not informed. it s only at the end, if you negotiate with one side of the parties and you leave the other side out, what does it tell the taliban? we want to make a deal with you and don t care what the afghan government does. at the end of the day that s not how you create peace and security. gun control is a priority for you, you re pushing a bill called keep america safe act, a bill to limit magazine size to no more than ten rounds, a magazine i ve never seen in war zones, are there enough republican senators, this will live or die by mitch mcconnell s decision and the president, do you have republican support for a measure like that? i think so. look, you saw roy blount this weekend say the president needs to define what he s willing to support. i don t believe this is the way the congress acts. the way the founders created the
and washington intervenes. you have california that passed gun control legislation. you have a judge in san diego who struck it down, for a reason that was logical for him. but it didn t look like the big picture. if the federal government is not going to do anything about gun violence and reducing it, can the states get it done? states have democratic legislators that might be able to do something. indiana, which is a red state, vice president pence comes from there, passed a red flag there. i was susan brooks a s aes ah and upton introduced before we left, to give law enforcement a school, to take a gun away from someone that is a threat to the community or himself. there s a number of things. i think we should be looking at reducing the magazine size. it was there for a decade.
that all the politicians point toward gun owners like me and say you re the problem. felipe it s the total opposite. no one is pointing at you. if you have a gun, i think that s great. the problem is it becomes a false conversation about the minute we want someone to not have a magazine with 17 rounds in it, that we want to abolish the second amendment. look, it s hard to debate guns with people who don t shoot guns. i ve had 28 hours of i have a firearm permit. that has nothing to do with it. you know that 17 is a common magazine size. i don t have an ar-15 with a bump stock. i don t think anyone should have one. okay, so why is ar15 ownership still an issue? i don t know. i own an ar15, it s a very good gun. i would never think of taking it against another human being.
pointed out weeks earlier. he was killed with a gun that was purchased through the loopholes. reporter: now background checks are universal and there s a limit on magazine size. but still no one has found the cure to america s school shooting plague. we have to deal with this, this terrible illness that we have. and guns are a part of that. even if you fixed all of the gun loopholes, you might not solve the school shooting problem. no, we have to do a number of things to deal with the gun violence problem. and we re going to have to compromise. we re going to have to sit down and talk this out. and not scream at each other the way we are right now. reporter: mauser s work continues to this day still wearing his son s sneakers. i would like to think by stepping in to his shoes that i m doing what he would want me to do. reporter: columbine never asked for the newfound notoriety. nor did it seek out the
part to close the loopholes his son had ironically pointed out weeks earlier. that he was killed with a gun purchased through one of those loopholes. in colorado, background checks are now nearly universal. there is a limit on magazine size. but still no one has found cure to america s school shooting plague. we have to deal with this terrible illness that we have. guns are a part of that. even if you fixed all of the gun loopholes you might not solve the school shooting problem. no. we have to do a number of things to deal with the gun violence problem. we will have to compromise, sit down and talk this out and not scream at each other. he is still wearing his son s sneakers. i like to think by stepping into his shoes that i m doing what he would want me to do.
