thank you so much, senator murphy. good luck. thank you. that will do it for me. deadline: white house starts right now. \s \s hi there, everyone. it s 4:00 in new york. it s a horrific crime, even by the standards of a nation that has been become all too familiar with horrific crimes and gun violence. a nation that often bears witness to more than one mass shooting a day. five people were brutally murdered friday night in cleveland, texas by a gunman with an ar-15 rifle. the spark, if you will a complaint from a neighbor. here s how new york times reports, francisco oropesa was rattling off loud bangs that was keeping mr. garcia s baby awake. he asked his neighbor to stop. mr. ro oropesa said no, his yard, his rules t garcia warned he would call the police. after oropesa walked into his office, he emerged with an ar-15. he killed mr. garcia ace we ve who had called the police. the rampage continued inside the home, where he shot four other people, almost
people, and the majority of americans want them off the streets. all the majority of americans have to do is decide they re never voting for another jerk who won t admit that the ar-15 is part of the problem. i mean, can you imagine nikki haley is running for president. the day after this shooting, she puts on her army green sweater and goes and poses with a military-style slaughter machine, and thinking it s a good idea to put it owl there. i mean, is she absolutely politically clueless right now? how furious women in america are about the idea that 25% of the guns in america are military weapons of mass slaughter? it is unbelievable. i m sorry i get so upset. i feel so passionately about this, and i want every candidate to feel just as passionate about it. i want to show you what the county sheriff had to say.
county, thought it was more important that people have easy access to these weapons of mass slaughter than making sure that people are safe. and so, it s just tragic on every level. frank can i make another point? go ahead,please. the el paso sheriff vehemently opposed the law and narrows the circumstances where it can be used in office. the policy is they would seek this only if there are urgent circumstances and probable cause that a crime is being or thought to be committed. and quote, that he believes the red flag law is a violation of fourth amend, violating search and seizure, he would enforce the law if he only has cause that a crime has been committed. it s amazing. frank, i want to bring you in on this.
do you want to say something on that? we have no higher rate of alienated angry, young teenagers or men. we have no higher rate of mental illness than other industrialized countries. we have a rate of gun violence that is off the charts because of access to weapons of mass slaughter. we need to reduce the number of dangerous people and in fact, keep those guns out of their hands and connecticut knows what works. we did it in the wake of sandy hook. we banned assault weapons. and we extended background checks to all purchases. we banned high capacity magazines and we have a measure called extreme risk orders which says to police in effect, if you sympathy someone is imminently dangerous to himself or others, get a court order, take those weapons away from that person. that s what we need to extend to all 50 states.
