hospitalized in south carolina because of complications tied to nation s formula shortage. a children s hospital in charleston says three of the infants were admitted because they couldn t tolerate the formulas their parents tried using for them. another got sick from mineral imbalances from care givers micking mick i mixing their own formula. 45% of formula products were out of stock. help is hours away and coming from across the atlantic. our senior medical correspondent is in germany where the first flights are getting ready the leave. how soon will this formula hit the shelves? we have been watch b service members putting together these pallets. it s 1.5 million bottles. each bottle eight ounces. 1.5 million being sent by a european company to the united states. the department of defense is doing the shipping. let s take a look at what they are sending. if you look at this, you can see it says nestle. that s a swiss company. that s a formula that s hypoallergenic. a l
doubled every year. in 2020 there was 600 mass shootings and over 11 million guns made. the number of guns produced doubles every year from 2010 to 2020. so, our question, this debate is do more guns really make us safer. in the washington post, columnist says if gun advocates, a group that includes the entire gop are correct and stated assertion that more guns means more safety, shouldn t we be enjoying a paradise of security with crime plunging to never before seen lows? obviously that s not what s happening. joining me is cnn political com commentator scott genjennings.
part of the policy platform. we re seeing gun manufacturers and their allies try to roll back things like a background check on every gun sale or gun safety training. this crime wave that we re seeing is the logical outcome of having 400 million guns in a country with too few gun law. to the point of that op-ed if more guns and less gun laws make us safer, we would be the safest country in the world. we have a 25% higher homicide rate than any pure nation. the situation in buffalo, there was an armed guard there. unfortunately, a guard with a handgun is just no match for a white supremists who has been radicalized online and ballistics gear. it s not going to play out that way in the real world. there s a lot there. scott i want to let you respond to that. i want to pick up on that number. approximately 400 million guns in circulation in the u.s.

regular flag laws were contemplated. in this case i think less about the gun itself and more about the person who had exhibited violent behavior and thoughts, been in a mental institution for a period and the policy that didn t work. he also passed a background check which makes me wonder, what is it about the policies and the matrix of policies that failed. as i have contemplated this horrific shooting, that s what i ve been wondering about. this guy fell through the crack and he how old not have base sh the laws in place. what the you say to that shan non? go back do what scott was saying about the constitution and how we have something no nation does, the second amount. we also have a gun lobby which they don t have. we have gun manufacturers that work lard to influence the laws
