the what the tactics, techniques and procedures should be used on in a situation like this. will heard, thank you, sir, i appreciate it. always a pleasure, don. president obama calling out the gop and the gun lobby tonight citing my next guest s article about why gun control never goes anywhere in this country. ron brownstein tells us why that is after this.
being buried, so we re going to be respectful. i want to know your reaction to saying you were responsible for the decision to go into that room. we re going to respectful to the family i understand. you have an opportunity to explain yourself to the parents. just so you know we re going to do that eventually. when? and when this is done and the families are done grieving then we ll do that obviously. whenever the families are done with grieving. what we ve seen in this prosi don t think that is ever going to happen because as of course the investigative leads have been going forward we re continuing to see funeral after funeral with services expected every day through the rest of this week, continuing reminders of the irreplaceable toll of this tragedy, don. uvalde, texas on both of our breaking news stories tonight, thank you both. i appreciate that. i want to bring in now oklahoma
also have oncologists who went to the second floor. and we re being told by police this wasn t a random shooting. they know more information than they re telling wus, but they sy there s something that angered him and his target was on the second floor and that s where the four people were killed. it s critical, don, police say they got on the scene inside the building within three minutes, critically important because they say when they got in the building they still heard the gunshots. when they opened the door and saw the body of one victim and saw the body of the gunman, they saw a body, the gunshot stopped just a few seconds earlier. it s very possible perhaps even likely if they hadn t gotten in the building that quick this guy would have kept shooting and would have killed or injured more. finally i want to tell you in addition to the people killed there s up to ten people injured. not clear if it s the chaos getting out of the building because this is a multi-story
it s the crisis of majority rule we re having as the quirks in our constitutional system give more influence you mean minority rule. yeah, minority rule to give those states in effect a veto over national policy. if you look at polling, don, it s pretty clear americans are in the same places as will heard. yes, they don t think gun control alone is going to solve the problem of mass shooting. they think it s a multifaceted problem. but they do believe gun control is part of the solution. and if you look at polling there is clear majority support for a lot of the key ideas that are out there universal background checks, a ban on assault weapons, a ban on high capacity magazines. those ideas are supported not only by a majority of democrats and a majority of independents but even by republicans who don t own guns. the problem is that republican gun owners have a veto over the policy of the republican party.
