the thrill of the kill? >> there is obviously a lost, you know, enjoyment to come out of the games and we're talking about specifically grand theft auto 5. what it presents to players is a huge world in much you can do a wide variety of activities. so, over and above all of the action and gun play, it presents a little mini version of the real world in this so there is, you know, you can go on to a fake internet in the game. go on to fake facebook, you can see movies, you can play the stock market and go on triathlons. so the appeal for grand theft auto specifically, really, is, you know, the fact that you're living in this hyperreal world. >> let's go on that living idea. sometimes we hear reports after shootings that someone was obsessed with video games. how long do people play these games for? when you go in, and you assume this alter reality, how long does the average person stay there for? >> in this game, in particular, there is many, many hours of game play. because it's what we call in the industry, a sandbox game where once you're done with the actual main story line, there is lots of other activities that you can do. >> why do you think that call of duty, grand theft auto so outsells things like sports like madden and football? why, what is making them so popular? what does it say about us as a society? >> i don't know if it vastly outsells it. if you look at the top 10 games sold every year, half of those will be, as you mentioned, sports titles like madden and games like mario are high in terms of sales rankings. so, what it says, i think, about the industry is that it's broad and it's varied and particularly gaming. the prime example is of grand theft auto, of course, because it makes a lot of money and gets attention. there is more in the spectrum that is games. coming up, the gun control debate heats up in california. our political insider on the proposal to stop gun shows at the palace. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, southern california college honored form gabrie . new this morning, a southern california college honored former congresswoman gabrielle give orders last night. the ellen browning scripps medal highlights women who have made it possible for others to live more confidently, courageously and hopefully. she graduated from scripps college in 1993 and is known nationwide for her resilience in the face of violence against the former arizona lawmaker. she was shot in the head in tucson in 2011 and continues to recover. >> she's a leading advocate for new gun control laws. governor jerry brown is looking at more than a dozen of these type of bills on his desk right now and that is why we went to the san francisco police chief and former state assembly speaker willie brown. the first question is the debate on how many of these bills are substantive and how many are political showpieces. he took a look at them all and we asked what he saw in the collection. >> think some of the good ones are those prohibited persons or with mental illness, far more controlled in the home on whether or not they could be available. they go back to trying to keep the guns out of the guy like adam lanza who had guns in the home and went and did the newtown, connecticut, shooting and other things like strengthening the assault weapon's ban. since it's a ban to make it stronger and smart and we don't see assault weapons in california. i don't see a use for them. >> would you sign off? >> d ones i read, i probably would. >> why? >> no, i just think that we're a state that, right up until new york, enacted the tightest gun controls after their webster, connecticut, event, we have the tightest weapon's laws in the country. so to tighten up our laws more strict, i don't think it's a bad thing. we still have plenty of guns in california. >> california has all of the controls but neighboring nevada, arizona, and oregon don't. yo there is a rub. we had the big shooting in maryland, i mean in washington, d.c., and then we had another in a park in chicago. i mean it's crazy. i'll tell you, i draw the analogy all the time. you come across the border at lake tahoe, they want to know if you're bringing in fruits or vegetables and they want to know what you bought at the gun show. doesn't make sense to me. >> and one of the bills on the governor's desk is by governor mark -- [ indiscernible ] to allow restrictions to allow gun shows at the cow palace. >> substantive or she? >> substantive. >> believe me. if you can't conveniently acquire a weapon and the situation in much the rules and regulations are not strictly enforced, not strictly respected, that is substantive. gun shows provide people with that kind of an opportunity. >> there is a ton of people that think the cow palace is in san francisco. we had 10 homicides last june in the public housing complex across the street. so, to not have a gun show across the street where i had 10 homicides last june, that works for me. >> and do you think they were committed by someone going to the gun so shoe? >> i'm hot not saying that. >> that is what we're trying to inifer, right? >> i disagree. you have to understand that just the environment of convenience of guns makes people use them more conveniently. so if there is a gun -- not a gun show, you may not have the whole kind of gun mentality that people develop. >> it sort of takes the a cross state lines to the county level. right? and it's sort of like making daly city than nevada to california. >> and there is also, of course, the other issue of people getting guns illegally. >> right. >> and doesn't matter j. and there is will the issue of the laws there in front of the governor that lawmakers in sacramento want to say to the nation. washington didn't do gun control so we in california will lead the way. >> you think the nation wants to listen to california? >> so far they aren't. coming up. >> a last look at the morning's top stories. >> and that includes a standoff happening in a mall in kenya. the shooting survivor with bay area cantions. -- connects. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ic gun battles are . he's a look at this morning's top stories. >> there is still sporadic gun bales going on at a shopping mall in nairobi, kenya, where islamic extremists are hurting -- holding 30 hostages right now. 39 people have died and several americans are among the injured, including a uc berkley grad who manages a mall at the restaurant. >> a memorial service for those lost in the navy yard shooting today. president obama will lead the tribute to the victim's in the marine barracks shooting. 12 people died last monday when aaron alexis opened fire in the yard. police shot and killed him. >> eight days left for members of congress to try and figure out how to avoid a government shutdown. the republican house passed a bill linking the budget to defunding link said to the president's healthcare law and has no chance of passing in the senate. and sunshine is back today. >> what a difference a day makes, right?
