what has rob: let her respond, kimberly, go ahead. kimberly, explain to me why someone needs an assault weapon in the nation? why don t you explain people in my own city in baltimore every single day by illegal guns and what we are going to do about cincinnati. remove assault weapons, join me in calling for a ban on assault weapons? this is a mental health issue. again, you can t say that. you can t say that guns have been around for decades, we just started seeing this. rob: scott, let me chime in here, do you believe that there s a mental health problem in the country because guns have existed for a listening time and we haven t seen first of all, we ve had 29 wounds in 30-second period, you have a single shot weapon you don t have those kind of fatalities and injuries in short amount of time, surely there s going to be mental health issue, surely people need treatment, surely we can address these things but that doesn t do what we need it to do, we need to ban
did would they be able to get anything done, would politicians be able to work together on this? kimberly and democratic strategist scott. thanks for coming on this morning. good morning. rob: kim, everybody is talking about high-capacity magazines and semiautomatic assault weapons and the assault ban is one of the things democrats are really pushing for, this guy in ohio killed 9 people in something like 30 seconds, do democrats have a point here about the kinds of weapons being on our streets? well, the topic only comes up when we have a mass shooting by someone with a legal gun, right, so we have many shootings in baltimore but the guns are usually illegal so we can t have the conversation but congress can get together and do something about this but i don t think it has to be with blaming the gun, so to see i m sorry, i m sorry, this is ridiculous. we are facing mass killings and
we can as a nation come together and say we need to ban assault weapons. if you give me a chance please explain to me why someone needs an assault weapon. rob: kimberly, go ahead and explain. if congress can get with experts and come up with resources for people that would be great, those close to the shooter saw signs but they didn t know what to do, now that takes actual work and i don t think rob: scott, let me chime in here, we had assault weapon s ban and there s a lot of speculation about whether really did any good at all. every civilized nation especially england and australia made concern to remove assault weapons from their societies did so successfully, surely great nation like us can remove 5 million assault weapons killing our own civilians and i don t understand republicans and democrats can t join together to say a basic thing like it s time to take these guns off the street.
