a mad house today. it looks like a shopping day after thanksgiving. our business has been exponential amount of ground. there's been a lot more interest in personal protection. since there's been a couple of national tragedies, there's also been a lot more interest with the possibility of legislation and people concerned that they're not going to be able to get access to the things that they used to be able to have access to the oregon legislatures considering for really bad bills, they would take away people's right to carry guns in various places, including one of them would limit your ability to carry in a school. if the janitor, it's sandy hook, elementary, had carried a pistol and he heard the shooting down the hallway and people screaming and then saw a young man not in a police uniform running at him with an a r 15 and had shouted to the guys, stop and then pulled his pistol out and shot adam lanza would that have been a good thing or a bad thing. the folks like jenny burdick and those, you know, those net which, why would they think it would be a bad thing for people, legitimate law, biting people to carry a pistol on a plan. so rally started today. i'll be thing a few words and then introducing other legislators who are coming. you heard anything about protests. we expect to counter protest. now you guys have a little sleeves for we're going down to salem. fires holding a rally and we're going to go show them that they're not going to get away what they're getting. i don't use the safety of our citizen of our family, of our children, if they're the only we are more than a 1000 or more than 90000. the british were taken years, there wouldn't be a united states today or you know, so thank you all for coming. you guys are going to make a difference. you really are. the 2nd amendment was created to keep me and i think government in check the government not to tell. i think that people should be able to help. people should be able to target to day, but they do not need a weapon. i always hear what you say, it's ok, you know, you just shout me down so you're not, you're not reasonable because you want us to respect your opinion, but you won't respect these legislation, provide common sense gun control, which is gonna kill massacres. children, i'm anti guns that have to have known, and we would have a lot less mass occurring. you're more than a good guy and a guy in the hands of a good. it's not a bad to handle the bad person, the possible lobby. i what we're going to do is we're going to do a series of panels. you know, encourage all the governors you talk to to come. what, when the time comes. i'm finding that people are free tempest because these people have never stood up to the opposition. you, you have years of experience, you're used to kind of intimidation. you are about the here to serve. very angry voicemail from some one out there. you skipping more guns and you can count. never give them up. you received me 8 and 10 i think were from one to save. hitler and stalin would be so proud of you. you guys are pathetic. you are a waste of the oxygen i breathe. it's just too bad that you, people were a star from the nipple, or maybe you guys would have all your brain shells. lynching is an extra judicial execution carried out by a mob, often by hanging, but also by burning at the stake. and signs are, again called gun advocates are intimidating law may cause with threatening emails in video surveillance. joining me out oregon state senator jenny bird. dick, you cancelled the town hall meeting and then what did they do? i did, and i, when i cancelled the town hall meeting, i didn't want to say anything inflammatory. so i just said the standard scheduling conflict. well, they showed up at my house and they still, they stayed in front of my house for 2 and a half hours taping. everything i did and then they put it on the web. and their point was that i didn't in fact have a scheduling conflict. but they ran my address and they ran very threatening comments about it. was that all right? you are good. oh, i didn't know any of that was going on. my goodness. yeah. watching you take out your dress. it was really creepy. i'm not happy about them coming into the care of my team, and i provided physical security for sen. berty, probably 3 or 4 occasions in the portal area. people had confronted her in one case she was walking to her car and somebody jumped out of the brush. certainly we really took this quite seriously. when congresswoman givers was shot in tucson, arizona. you know, how do you know something like that's gonna happen? so we believe the data point that she had a legitimate right to be concerned about her welfare. i me, she's a public figure. people understand that public figures don't really have privacy. i think jenny, berdigs, shepherds come into her having issues that guarantees you a step down. she should just get over it and move on and quit her job. there's nobody lecture i'm not bitter at all by the way. oh, show you this. this one with my for, for such as myself, it's the heritage that they have a lot of families from michelle. this me from a group plan a marathon public hearing on for bills. they include a ban on guns in schools and criminal background checks for private con sales. so we should be there by. so this is telling me 730 i mean, hopefully this will be a good forum and people will be open to everyone's message on all sides of the issue. none of us can replace steve, but we can try to make things better. i back in january, my friend invited me to this community meeting about can safety a literally to sit up there and said hey, this is my and my mom was count town center and silently, but the room, me by just standing up and saying that i made it real for everyone. i realize that that moment i do have a voice. maybe i can make an me, i want people to remember. i don't want people to forget that people were murdered and how they were murdered. and that we need to change a cycle of violence that seems to be going on in our communities. they de me politicians back down just because they don't want to take the harassment. and that is what results in no change. and i just refused to be intimidated because i can't in good conscience after newtown, back down i i, this issue is very simple to members in the public. somehow when you get into the charge environment in this building, it becomes more difficult. good morning everyone. thank you for being here. i'm going to open up the senate committee on judiciary this morning. we have 4 bills that are before us, that we're going to be taking public testimony. each of these bills have amendments that will change the actual purpose of the bills. in conducting today's hearing, i ask that everyone to be respectful to the speakers and their views, even though you may disagree with those positions. i think it's very important that we have this hearing today to decide on what if anything will be moving forward. senate bill $700.00 would finish closing the loop holes require background checks for all gun sales. the bills will do nothing but target law abiding citizens. they are not going to affect the criminals. they don't solve any of the problems that we've had. the fact that this state continues to allow their private sale of guns without background checks is reckless here, responsible and downright dangerous. none of these bills will keep the guns out of the hands of a single criminal or madman. if more people had been killed a crack in this town center. we would have a more comprehensive loss where legislating and reaction to a tragedy that will prevent it is true. criminals will always get guns, but let's make it harder for them for women and those with disabilities. guns are the great equalizer. senate bill $347.00 would allow the school district rather than one advocacy group or another to decide what really is a safe school. there is no place in our schools, but guns again, free zones might as well be advertised as potential killing zones. students were almost unanimous in their opinion that their sense of security would not be enhanced with additional weapons on site. you need somebody at the school to stop that person. the laws we have and assistance we have in place do not work. the enter re, can spread their money around it and their influence. but it's only you folks, the legislators that can write and pass the laws, but we all live by i thank you very much. ah, ah, right now there are 2000000000 people who are overweight or obese. it's profitable to sell food that is fancy and sugary and faulty and addicted. not at the individual level. it's not individual willpower. and if we go on believing that will never change that. that industry has been influencing very deeply. the medical and scientific establishment, ah, what's driving the obesity epidemic? it's corporate. me. they didn't take into account with one thing for their own capabilities. i mean, i didn't want to the truth if you will love you. lots of truth is that the u. s. is no longer capable of playing the role of global hagaman. i mean the role which had had assigned to itself and glove. when you do more with ah, comes to mature of me. if you look at a lot of the pendulum in the matrix, i don't want the cause, the choice of me. sure. it's under which way you're committed to the national move pieces you can listen, denise. and leave and our next spend all things come forward. none of these bills would have stopped the shooter that killed my mother, a cart miss tom center. still, it is an important action for this legislature to demonstrate that they are serious about making our communities safer. reducing gun violence is a complicated issue, but that is not an excuse for inaction. i'm here today and host holding a dialogue. i'm going to safety. please don't make the same as somebody guided believing that this couldn't happen to me. it could easily have been your wife, your husband, your daughter, or your son. or remember katrina. you remember 911. what happened? overnight and nothing mattered. politics didn't matter where you reform didn't matter. people do anything to help the people. that's never happened since this terrible tragedy and it didn't happen. and i knew when it didn't happen. i mean, if you slaughtered children the way they were slaughtered and you slaughter 6 students, 6 teachers who were trying to defend their bodies and defend them the way they were slaughtered. and that can bring us together instantly. there my friend, this thing will never come together. me, i me ah, there are now 6 state associations and 262 individual sheriffs are on record opposing any new gun control legislation this week. the sheriffs of 5 oregon counties sent out letters that they would not support laws passed by congress, that trump the liberties of citizens in addressed to vice president joe biden. i will not tolerate, nor will i permit any federal incursion within the exterior boundaries of grant county, oregon, or any type of gun control legislation, aimed at disarming law abiding citizens is a goal or objective a share for grant county. i to a publicly state that i refused to participate or stand idly by while people i represent are made into criminals duty or unconstitutional actions. this is my basic police class. back in the late eighty's, when i went to the police academy, things are happening. our country right now that 4050 years ago, it was unthinkable about people the mass casualties in the killings in the bombings . and i don't like it either, but i think the people need to take responsibility into their own hands and be prepared. i heard one talk show one time they were talking about, well, our government has nukes, do you propose that you have nukes? and my thought was, if they're gonna use a nuke against me, i would like to have a new to level the playing field. you know it's, it's a little unrealistic. but let's, let's be realistic that if our government or anybody else is going to use a tank against us, it would be nice to know that i have the same ability of protective people have elected me in the office. that i could step to that same level. i don't anticipate ever wanting or having to have a tank or a use for one. but if somebody was to use one against me, it would be in our, in our best interest to be able to defend ourselves. and that's what 2nd amendments all about me . i'm not in the camp of anti government, but i think less government intervention into our lives would be a good thing. and i think there's a big divide there between what we call western oregon or the valley, the portland area and rural oregon. a lot of what we get from the politicians is a need your reaction. i don't have a tremendous amount of ease in how they do things. and i think the, the gun control, whatever you want to call it, is a very good example of that killed that buying code. i don't know the solutions to lessen the chance of a sandy hood type incident is going to come from gun control. i think it's much deeper than that. do i know what the answer is? no, because there's i think it's a very complicated, very complex problem. guns we're part of it. we have to decide what we're willing to accept on both sides of the fence. you know, are we willing to accept what happened? you know, in these different instances? if not, then what are we willing to accept, you know, laws and rules to lessen the potential that happening. again. my name is frances wheeler. my husband, david, me. we live in sandy hook, connecticut. david and i have 2 sons. our older son, nate, soon to be 10 years old, is a 4th grader at sandy hook elementary school. i younger son, ben h 6, was murdered in his 1st grade classroom. on december 14th, exactly 4 months ago this weekend, i've heard people say that the tidal wave of anguish, our country felt on 1214 has received it. but not for us to us. it feels as if it happened just yesterday. please help us do something before our tragedy because your tragedy will have to convince the senate to come together and pass common sense gone, responsibility, reforms that will make our communities safer and prevent more tragedies like the one we never thought. what happened to us hope to see the moment when real change begins me i talk about making a difference over your mind watching pain the pain and how she was able to rise above her own pain to try to keep others from having to experience pain more than 3000 people had died since sandy hook in every single one of them had families who are experiencing that pain . and she's trying to do something about it. even though she is in desperate pain herself. really admire her. as you feel, watching her stand up like so publicly and well it's certainly certainly drive to me. you know i, i'm a legislator and i haven't had some kind of loss in my family knock on wood. but people are in, depending on me and my colleagues to keep them safe and to have reasonable gun laws . so that is kind of thing. what happened again and now i need to find the kleenex in. i i tell ya, flippant, go to, they couldn't believe it. i thought, sure. let's do it a few months ago, kevin, to respond to this, this country took up the cause of protecting more of our people from a few minutes ago, a minority in the united states senate decided it wasn't worth it. we had a democrat and republican both got ours with when they come together to write a common sense compromise on background trends. in fact, even again, all right, used to support expanded background checks, but instead of supporting this compromise, the gun lobby and its allies wilfully lied about the bill. those minority got owners and that in turn, intimidated a lot of centers. after i saw the boat didn't pass, i just was absolutely crushed and thought that all the senators, the entire senate should be ashamed of itself. if those kind of weapons were less available or harder to get, we wouldn't have a lot of shootings and we certainly wouldn't have the number of death unconvinced that me who i knew i was present sky and he gave me an update on what's going on. yeah, so basically what this move means is the senate president has actually taken the bills and referred them to the rules committee without sending him to the floor 1st because he thinks that they won't pass. right. he doesn't think they have the votes are disagree. we're talking about people who are going to be running for reelection . so, you know, it's one thing for the republicans because the republicans know that the president does not like to bring against vision. cars bring bills to the floor without the votes to pass. so naturally they're going to say, we're not going to vote for it, hoping to keep it off the floor altogether. okay? because if they don't have to vote hide from the issue. i checked. seems like a no brainer to me. i don't know why or even like, i mean yeah, i mean we were disappointed that there weren't like stronger belt table. so the fact that be really honestly they're really weak. bells can't even get sad that they can't get past me. the good news. the media, a reflection of reality the in a world transformed what will make you feel safer. type relation for community. are you going the right way or are you being somewhere direct? what is truth? what is in a world corrupted? you need to defend the join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. use the. i don't know. i mean, there are some steps in there were rescuing the food that they were scabbing or were rescuing resources that are still good. this is best buy march 21st, which is in 2 days. all these potatoes, paula pianos, onions, all of these came from waste brown sources. this is great for me because i'm always looking for a way to give things away. dr. because the tax laws, you know, definitely do benefit the wealthier people and our society. so it makes sense for them to throw it out right off, rather than give it to somebody who could use it. and then that person is not going to buy it. ah, they're connecting germany's federal election with exit polls. putting the center that s p d party, just the head of the ruling cd signaling. what could be a change of direction for the country from the post magical era. a special coverage was billed to be a very tight rate, the chance to ship now in the weeks of the top stories on r t, the russian city appear more than the loss of 6 people killed in the university shooting correspondences retrace the steps of the gunman deadly rampage. this is the exact road the.
