More on our Weather Forecast in a moment. A lot of criticism right now after lawmakers took off to go home for the holidays without striking a deal in the fiscal cliff. Again, if theres no deal, we see painful tax hikes and massive Government Spending cuts after january 1st. Stay with us when we checked in with San Francisco mayor edley and former mayor willie brown. These guys are no strangers. We have the socalled fiscal cliff. With the politics involved here . How much of what we have been seeing is real deal cutting and how much is show . First of all, none of it is really show. Its really politicians trying their best to prevail what they promise their voters they would do. Thats what that is. They are going as well as they can. The first day as we said Something Different than willie brown. I immediately agreed. My voters would have to say, i didnt do what i promised to do. What if what you promise to do is after you sit down and see the facts and it isnt the right way to go. What do you do politically . For me i naturally try to get that information out there but also let the public is certainly everybody looking at the budget process understand the change of circumstances we face. For me but it has always been kind of a process where you dont really hide. It seems to me the question is, republicans say, we cant give on taxes until you reduce spending. Democrats are saying, but you reduce spending until the go on taxes. If i agreed to raise taxes, i dont believe mr. Obama is going to cut spending. If we dont raise taxes, you get your way. And i think mayor brown is absolutely right. Those are positions that they take relative to their constituents. Its all about getting compromised. Its all about what it is that we can still be able to walk up and say, ive got something for you. Let me tell you, you can solve the problems they are facing by what we call the trigger. That is that if in the First Quarter x number of dollars to come in, cuts go. Quickly. However, if x number of dollars to come in, taxes go differently. So you can clearly have trigger devices. Absolutely. Its still a few hours. They cannot make everybody were in the meantime. If you are worried about getting around this weekend, you are going to have some issues.

In meantime, back to you guys. Some of hollywoods biggest Celebrities Making Public Service announcements against gun violence. More than 50 actors are taking part a little more than a week after the mass shooting at the Elementary School in Elementary School shooting in connecticut. Demand a pan a plane. Number list of names. Its too late. Now is the time before we almost want to love someone on that list. No more lists. No more who they might have been. The site of the massacre pairings are reacting to the proposal to put armed officers in every school as well. Why are we allowing sales of weapons. She said, that makes me feel safe. Meanwhile, the debate continuing in the bay area on how much gun control is necessary and what if any measures actually were. We are joined in studio by someone who feels very strongly about gun control in the bay area. The group called youth uprising in east they. It netted more than 250 guns. I think they got more like 300 by the end. 700 between San Francisco and oakland. Thats quite a take off the streets but its also a rather scary number. I was looking at the guns being brought in. The idea that those are floating around on the streets, we have fully equipped automatic handguns. They were so random. People were bringing them left and right. We have a culture of, if i can buy it, its mine. I have a right to have it without really consideration for the larger public good. It was really stunning the number of guns that came in. Rifles, shotguns, fully automatic weapons, pistols. It is stunning. The people bringing in these guns not necessarily the game vendors that might be shooting people up. Will that really affect violence on the streets . We certainly have young people who have guns because they dont feel safe. We had three young people come in with the one done that they owned collectively to collect the 200 to split it. There is an economic incentive. It was next. There was a lot of Senior Citizens by brought their guns as well. Any gun that is out there can get in the hands of somebody. Burglary rates are really high. You have been working with youth in oakland for a number of years. This isnt the first time weve had this kind of discussion. Im interested. When did that change happen . When did it become standard for kids and young adults to start grabbing guns . Now the gun is the first reach. What happened . The crack epidemic still reverberate through our community. The war on drugs really was about moving away whole organized crime structures. It was successful. Its sort of destroying an organized crime. But it left is whoever can control. So young people began being recruited to actually be watch people and then when the people who employed them went away, they became the drug dealers. Now that drugs are gone, thats really a primary source of underground economy. Young people literally feel afraid for their lives. There were a few Different Things about this gun buyback. There was cash given instead of gift cards, and the gun that you turned in how to be a working gun or your bottom line, the turnout was unprecedented for you to what do you attribute that . He had to be a resident of the city. You couldnt come from someplace else and bring it on. I think its a combination of things. People really do need the money. Cash counts. People really were devastated about sandy hook. And a third thing is, i think that people really are sick of the homicide rate. I think that people are sick of the fact that people are being shot and killed. Spirit i want to go back to what you set a little while ago that the kids now are afraid that they are going to be a target. Absolutely. So they are buying the guns and then they take out the person they feel is a threat. Or they are buying the guns to keep themselves safe. When you really talk to young people with him high impact neighborhoods, i think there is an allusion in our country that if im safe, it doesnt matter. It doesnt want happen doesnt matter what happens in another neighborhood. These people dont feel safe walking back and forth to school. They are buying guns to get themselves backandforth to school. Sometimes people are attacking them and they feel obligated to protect themselves. When you are using a gun to use that, you are at a level where nobody is going to walk away okay. No one is going to walk away. Lets have you back to continue this discussion. Thank you for being here. Well be right back.
