On Monday afternoon, in the aftermath of the school shooting in Nashville, CNN was promoting precisely the opposite of what would likely provide better protection for schools as law enforcement analyst Andrew McCabe argued against arming school teachers. Even though teachers would be able to respond immediately more quickly than police could arrive, McCabe oddly argued that the failure of Nashville police to stop the six murders was somehow evidence that armed teachers could not have fared better.
People, so the right focusing on that is uniquely dangerous. and we have to respond to that. but it is also a distraction because there are plenty of trans people in plenty of countries all over the world. but, once again, america is the only nation where shootings like this happen over and over and over again. so maybe it s not mental health or video games or hormones. maybe it s the guns. today we learned that the shooter in nashville legally purchased seven weapons in the past few years, three of which were used in yesterday s attack. maybe that s where the focus should be, how easy it is in this country to legally obtain incredibly powerful weapons capable of horrific destruction. maybe that s where we have to focus, and that everything else is a distraction. joining us now is heidi campbell. she met with the families of the students of covenant school yesterday. senator campbell, thanks for making the time to be with us. can you tell us a little bit about what s going on in your c
This planet. yep. and yet our country is the one that the only one that has such horrific outcome when s it comes to gun violence. the correlation is the number of guns we have in this country to the amount of gun violence. not video games, not transgender people, not evil, not marijuana, whatever anybody wants to say. senator, my thoughts are with you. i m sorry that we have to have this conversation. state senator heidi campbell of tennessee, thanks for being with us. thank you. i want to turn to manuel oliver. his son was killed five years ago at the marjory stoneman douglas school. another story of you and me talking again after a school shooting. i was there at parkland. i was there at sandy hook. and i always thought it was true that this was going to stop, that the country is enflamed about it. and, frankly, after parkland and march for our lives, things really did change.
