access to firearms? i don t think a president would want to do that. so i m quite skeptical. let s look at other things that are in these executives orders. we re going to allow the national instant criminal background check system to operate 24 hours a day to make background checks more officials. there will be more agents involved in that process. there are things that i think any future president would have a very hard time logically thinking through, then deciding they want to undo these common sense solutions. the nra released a statement in part saying this is the proposal they spent seven years putting together? they re not really doing anything. end of quote with be that s what the nra is saying. but you also have others who believe certainly the president is within his reach, win his legal authority but are questioning why now when these measures could have been taken last year at other points in his term. certainly right after newtown even. well, think they could.
business of selling firearms. this seems to be the headline. we ve talked so much for some period of time of these so-called gun loopholes. but the core of the question this morning is would any of these proposed changes, this executive action by the president, had changed the incident that involved your wife, the children in newtown, the poo emin aurora, the list goes on and on. would this have had an imact on any of those crimes? when you talk about a huge list it is hard to say any one thing will affect any of those incidents on the list. but we do know in states that have stronger background check laws we have lower gun violence. in states with stronger lawyers, we have 46% less women are murdered by their intimate partners with guns. we have 48% less police officers that die from gun violence. so there is a clear connection. but any single event being mitigated by one executive action, that s really hard to say. i will say though in the case of
his name is robbie bruce. we have some of these pictures. people should, if anybody has any information about him. so, when you say he s just vanished, i mean, what exactly does that mean, he s left where he lived? reporter: well, we knocked on the door where he was last registered living, his apartment. we knocked on his girlfriend s apartment door today, we called all the phone numbers we could find, and there was no answer anywhere. nobody s seen him for a while now. the attorney general s office here in nashville is also investigating and also confirming to us they can t find him, but that may be about to change. you know, the connecticut office of the fbi has been very aggressive in these newtown scams, and though the detectives there could not actually confirm an investigation is going on, this is the statement that was sent to us from the connecticut fbi. they say the fbi investigates these types of frauds thoroughly and with a real sense of urgency
because we recognize that legitimate charitable organizations are harmed by fraud, and in the case of newtown, victims families are, in a sense, revictimized. and that is certainly true. i mean, again, we should keep these pictures up, because if he s a trainer, he works out a lot, people maybe at gyms would recognize him. was this foundation ever really a foundation at all or was it just people asking for money and the public responded? reporter: yeah, no, it wasn t a charitable foundation in the true sense of the word, never filed any paperwork with the state. we can t find any kind of irs tax-exempt. so, it never was. but you know, when you mention sandy hook, people just want to do something, so they just sent this group money, really without checking it out. i want to talk about what the fbi said about revictimizing families. there s one family in particular, the family of victoria soto. she was a school teacher at sandy hook. they have had a devil of a time with people tryin
where what started out as a group trying to do good is now trying to learn where its founder and $375,000 in donations has gone drew griffin is keeping em honest tonight and joins me from nashville. drew, what have you learned? reporter: anderson, after that massacre, so many people across the country wanted to do good, especially here in nashville. and a group formed together this foundation. they were marathoners. and within a week of the tragedy, held an impromptu marathon that raised $30,000. and that money did do good. they took that check, $30,000, to newtown and helped pay for some of a youth center that was built there. the problem is, 26 for 26 kept going, kept holding more events, kept raising more money for these newtown families and victims. and it raised $73,000 more money, nobody knows where it is right now. the person who was in charge of the money, his name is robby bruce. we re going to show you a
