speaking of is really more there s a reaction not just for gun control, but to characterize those who disagree as haters and evil, i mean, when you have jimmy kimmel, it means you have lost the argument. when you are depending on him you mean to make the case? to make the case. these people don t want a rational argument. look at twitter, look at the stuff it is all about blood on their hands, we could have a sensible argument, what are practical measures that may not eliminate this but might make it less possible? they don t want that. this is a wedge i think frankly it s despite what they want, it is playing into donald trump s hands. is anything, dan, that you have seen proposed here in the wake of this, whether it be eliminating bump stocks to make a semiautomatic weapon fire more rapidly than it is supposed to or more background checks or other things, would anything have prevented paddock from doing this? nothing that we know of right
i can tell you it s a very sick man. he was a very demented person. he s a sick, demented man. he was a sick man, a demeanted man. a lot of problems and we re looking into him very, very seriously. we re dealing with a very, very sick individual. says the president whose most substantive and first legislative accomplishment is making it easier for the seriously mentally ill to buy guns. now today in the wake of the las vegas shootings, the focus is on this gizmo. a bump stock. it makes a semiautomatic weapon fire as if it s fully automatic. you can buy them online for 100 to $200. the las vegas shooter has some of them on several of his weapons. it appears he may have used them when the video that makes it sound like he was firing an automatic weapon, even though we don t know an automatic weapon was found in his hotel suite.

las vegas as a whole, responders, the police department, everyone. you could tell people were doing everything they could to keep people safe. to answer your question, we don t ever step on stage and think to ourselves something like this could happen. we are all so blessed and live in this country where we literally take safety almost for granted sometimes because of the men and women that fight for our freedom. it is unfortunate these types of things have now become our reality. yeah. i ll say. when you started hearing what you determined pretty quickly was automatic weapon fire, were there moments when you were taking cover on the stage or did you run right to your tour bus? we started running actually, i was on the opposite side of the stage of where my personal tour bus was. i can t even get to my tour bus. it s a crime scene. they won t let us anywhere near it because it was in the line of
they re generally much younger. in terms of what you would think that his background would be, how hard is it to shoot an automatic weapon? you don t have to be a marksman. you just fire down and it finds victims. absolutely. obviously purchasing one of tho those, you can t do that in the united states. about are there some that are out? sure. could people buy a semiautomatic and make an illegal modification to it to allow a semiautomatic to become a fully automatic weapon. that was automatic weapon fire. no doubt bit. nobody was squeezing the trigger and got that sustained rate of fire. the president did just put out a statement on twitter. let me read it to you right now. my warmest condolences and sympathies to the victims and families in the shooting in las vegas. 7:12 a.m. on the east coast.
