supporters and for second amendment supporters. it s jaw-dropping. i ve interviewed the president multiple times before he was president, has said he absolutely is strong second amendment, has understand it that no gun-control laws ever reduce crime. the fact that they are saying that is very interesting politically because it means that they think that they are losing on this battle and its political. they know that raising a limit on 18-21 on a specific gun that is used that has killed according to dianne feinstein, about 40 people a year is not going to change the crime statistics in america. shannon: you and i both know there are plenty of other guns out there that fire more rounds per minute that have a longer range. i think it s just because this guns is so often used and to people it looks scary. but it is strange that you would limit any one firearm. it s intellectually dishonest, it really is. it s purely political. the whole concept is purely political.
anyone living with a troubled person, that they think is trouble, to petition a court to temporarily take away their gun rights and guns, called a gun violence restraining order. would it work? joins us now here in d.c., great to see where today. you too. shannon: i want to play from the briefing today where sarah sanders fielded a question about potential age limits for ar-15s. here s what she said. does the president believe there should be an age limit for those who by the ar-15? as you know the shooter in florida was a teenager when he first bought the ar-15. i know there are currently laws in certain states that restrict that. in terms of whether or not we make that federal policy, that hasn t been determined. i think that is certainly something that is on the table for us to discuss and that we expect to come up over the next couple of weeks. shannon: how seriously do you think administration may consider that? that is overly jaw-dropping statement for gun-control
in the u.s. congress were saying that the federal congress should pass something on gun control. a lot of americans rightly asked why it is an 18-year-old, 19-year-old able to acquire these powerful weapons when they can t buy alcohol, when they can t buy back a handgun? i think we have to do more. the students from parkland, florida, arrived just a couple of hours ago here in tallahassee. they are still inside the local high school year. then they will move out, really only sleep for a couple of hours. their day starts early tomorrow morning, about 12 hours of marches and lobbying here in tallahassee kicking off early in the morning. shannon: life for us in tallahassee. thank you very much. police have arrested a 15-year-old student in florida after reports by other students that they thought he might have a gun. officers lock down the high school today only to find that it was actually a pink gun
representative massey out of kentucky when they were trying to do this big package on concealed carry, reciprocity, all these kinds of things. he was concerned that some of these mental health decisions would be databases that would allow federal agencies to scoop up all kinds of people. financial counseling. if you ve gotten counseling for bulimia. there are real worries about how you define who ends up in this mental health bracket. anything is possible and the federal government is bad at doing things quite frequently. however, the issue here comes down to basically this. is their due process in place? whatever you do as it relates to mental health will be imperfect. for people by the way who get committed to mental health institutes against their will, there is due process for this. we have judges that can sit on these things. as long as there s due process i think that enough civil libertarians can come along with at least cleaning up the mental health. that shouldn t be that co
kasich, who talks about a lot of important issues maybe acting like someone who was announcing individual bid for presidency. shannon: who are we to say? twisting turns on this gun thin thing. the directing the department of justice to dedicate all available resources to complete the review of the comments received and as expeditiously as possible to suppose for notice and comment a rule banning all devices that are illegal weapons into machine guns. we are talking about the bump stock that was used out in vegas. you can have something that is a semiautomatic weapon, use the bump stock on it and it essentially makes it it uses the kinetic energy of the recoil from the firearm to basically fire it again. it becomes a perpetual motion machine. shannon: this something they talked about doing on capitol hill but now is the president saying let s come up with a regulation and see if we can make this happen. the fact that i should cease to be amazed.
