rates in america but they only want to get involved when it s a school. because there s a high rate of handgun deaths in our community therefore we should allow people to have military style weapons that are designed so they can kill multiple people all over the place randomly. the reason wait a minute. wait a minute. so that s your justification for having military style weapon, whether it be any kind, ar-15 or anything. well, handguns are being used, therefore, just let the whole thing fly. that s literally what you re saying, paul. no, i m not. the ak-47 made 2500 miles away from st. louis, missouri, it s the gun of choice for those in the military assault rifle so this idea of banning bob s gun that has never committed a crime when we can t stop heroin from
at risk. when it involves a cun, we need to take a step back and get all the facts. why is there a double standard on tragedy with donald trump and republicans? the shooter s choice of military style weapon is an ar-15. according to experts, the weapon is designed to kill multiple enemy combatants at once. that s why it exists. despite that, it s easily accessible and easy to use for civilians across the country. you don t have to be a pro to use this gun. in florida, any 18-year-old can walking in as long as they re not a convicted felon. that s just about everybody. in five of the deadliest six shootings, the gunman in the case used an ar12 semi-automatic weapon. a gunman used an a rp to injury 12 people and injury more at a movie theater in colorado. on december 14th, of 2012, it
conversations after shootings that come up too often. background checks always come up. there s a system in place that failed those people in texas. a lot of people, too, gun control advocates saying there s no reason for a private citizen to own a military style weapon, the type he used in that church. do you think it s time for those to be banned, senator? no. i think we ve got to look at that carefully. here s the problem. i m from a state where we have one of the highest gun ownership rates in the country, and yet, we have one of the lowest rates of gun crime. an assault weapon it s called an assault weapon, but it s simply a semi automatic rifle in costume with a different kind of stock. but the functionality of the weapon is the same as thousands of them in maine and alaska, all over the united states that are used by legitimate hunters. so i have a problem with banning a weapon because of its appearance. one of the problems that we had
such a short period of time. how does that contribute to situations like this? an automatic weapon, one pull of the trigger, rounds keep coming out until you let go of the trigger. in this situation, 30-round magazine, he cab put down 30 rounds in only a couple seconds, reload and another 30 rounds. it s a military style weapon. it s used by law enforcement, and very extreme situations. it s not a weapon that s meant to he s doing it from the 32nd floor of a hotel. there s no way to stop him. there s no person with a gun who can stop the shooter. exactly. he s got clear field of view. he can see where his victims are. he s not even aiming. he s just pulling the trigger n shooting into the mass. he s spraying, praying and spraying and just affecting as many as he can. like shooting fish in a barrel. a terrible cliche but one that s appropriate here.
slowly working their way in that direction. miguel, thank you. i want to bring the commissioner back. can you speak about we don t know specifically the weapon he used but based on the gunshots we heard it was some sort of automatic weapon. police say they found 11 other rifles, guns in his room. what kind of access do people have to this weaponry today? unfortunately, almost unlimited access to our country. i think nevada might be an open carry state. quite clearly just listening to the sounds of those shots, it was at least one of those weapons was fully automatic. by that i mean you keep pressing the trigger and it keeps firing until the magazine is empty. semi-automatic is one you can fire rapidly but it requires a trigger pull. at least one of those weapons was a full automatic. it was quite likely a military style weapon. it had military style ammunition
