keep the intensity level up for all those who believe we need to do something. so congratulations. chris, when i saw that clip, it made me happy, and i ll tell you why. because it painted out to average americans as clearly as anything we can say how crazy the other side is and how reasonable people, including nra members, including gun owners, reasonable people will agree that there are things we can do to minimize the risk here, to reduce the harm and the carnage, and we have to do them. i thought he did a good job. i think piers did an excellent job of restraint. i don t think i would have shown that kind of restraint. he made a couple points that are very important i thought, that in england they have 37 people killed by guns a year. we have over 11,000 killed. we have a real problem with guns. let me show a bit of that ad the governor mentioned you were in. here is part of the ad you made for the group mayors against illegal guns. let s listen. my 9-year-old daughter was murde
illegal guns. let s listen. my 9-year-old daughter was murdered in the tucson shooting. i have one question for our political leaders. when will you find the courage to stand up to the gun lobby? whose child has to die next? to every mother, we cannot wait. we have to demand a plan. how do you tell a gentleman in the united states senate or congress or a woman that you may lose your career over this issue. i know we had a great liberal senator from pennsylvania, joe clark, who lost his career over this. how do you tell them to stand up, man up, woman up, and do the right thing even if it means they lose the next election? how do you make that case? are you asking me or roxana? roxana, please. i really don t have the answers for that. all i know is that i m encouraging people in their communities to call their congressman or senators and demand a plan right now. our little ones lives are at
drones armed in u.s. skies being used to arrest people in north dakota. the second amendment isn t there for duck hunting. it s there to protect us from tyrannical government and street thugs. joining me is roxana green, whose daughter christina taylor green was killed in that tucson massacre, and former governor of pennsylvania and mayor of philadelphia, ed ren del. you have both had your own experiences. it s so nice to have you on. thank you. what s your sort of mental and emotional reaction when you hear someone like alex jones spew that sort of armageddon language about guns? i m speechless. i really don t even know what to say. i have no comment. unbelievable. governor, you have experienced pennsylvania is relatively free of insane people, but you hear of people this guy is talking about the united states being a tierney coming to take his guns
