Today has found republicans often end a sentence with a preposition while democrats often end a sentence with a forced, awkward laugh. Ha ha ha. This mornings eye opener is presented by toyota. Lets go places. Welcome to cbs this morning. Ben carson is lighting up the gun control debate with controversial comments on mass shootings. The gop president ial candidate says he would sacrifice his life if he were facetoface with a gunman. He said he would rather see a body with bullet holes than gun control. Carson claimed he would want his childs Kindergarten Teacher to be armed. His reaction to last weeks shooting at an Oregon College sets him apart from his republican rivals. Julianna goldman has more. Reporter less than a week after the shooting, president ial candidates have been addressing gun control and Mental Health issues. But ben carsons latest comments defending the right to bear arms may be the most controversial. I would ask everybody to attack the gunman. Because he can only shoot one of us at a time. That way we wont all be dead. The accusation is that youre tone deaf and seem callous. No, im laughing at them. Who . The question asking that question. Of course, you know, if everybody attacks that gunman, hes not going to be able to kill everybody. But if you sit there and let him shoot you one by one, youre all going to be dead. When asked if he was judging the victims, carson said he was looking at the big picture. Im not judging them at all. But these incidents continue to occur. I doubt that this will be the last one. Reporter he also appeared on abcs the view where he reiterated Kindergarten Teachers should be armed with guns in the classroom. Youre obviously not going to have weapons sitting on the teachers desk. Where would it be . Secured where the teacher could get to it. How fast could the students get to the locked draw to get the gun . I want that teacher trained in diversiona arary tactics and whatever needs to be done. Reporter carson stated that even his experience as a doctor removing bullets from victims has reinforced his belief in the Second Amendment. He wrote, there is no doubt that senseless violence is breathtaking, but i never saw a body with bullet holes that was more devastating than taking the right to arm ourselves away. Other republican candidates staunchly oppose stricter gun laws. We dont have a gun problem. We have a problem with sin and evil. This is an evil thing, when people kill another person. And it happens way too often. Stuff happens. Theres always a crisis. And the impulse is always to do something. Reporter in iowa, democratic candidate Hillary Clinton mocked jeb bushs remark. This is not stuff happens. We let it happen. And we have to act. Reporter president obama is going to oregon to console victims families later this week. Some protests are expected. And carson was asked if he would do the same as the president. Gayle, he responded, probably not, and suggested it would be politicizing the tragedy. Julianna, thank you. Dr. Ben carson will join us in studio 57 in our next hour. Well ask him how hes responding to the uproar over those remarks on the mass shootings. Thats ahead. A new poll contains positive news for ben carson in three swing states. Numbers from Quinnipiac University show hes in strong second place behind front return donald trump in pennsylvania, florida, and ohio, among republican voters. Democrat Hillary Clinton is maintaining her lead in those same states among democratic voters. In National Polls she has lost ground to bernie sanders.

Russian air strikes have pounded syria for a week. Russia joined the syrian conflict, saying it would target isis. But many of the locations moscow said its hit are not in areas controlled by isis militants. With war planes and helicopter gun ships, the u. S. Says what moscow is really doing is propping up the Syrian Regime by attacking its opponents, including some groups linked to al qaeda, but also moderate rebels who are supported by america. A Syrian Monitoring Group says russian air strikes are killing dozens of civilians. But as if to refute that claim, russia released this drone video which it says shows the Russian Military carefully tracking but not targeting isis vehicles as they park beside a mosque. Russian media also broadcast this video with a commander showing what he claimed were two accurate hits on isis ammunition depots. Meanwhile, neighboring turkey, which is a nato member and a key u.

Fanduel says its companies band employees from playing daily fantasy games for money and set up an independent review of its practices. Cbs newss legal expert, rikki klieman, is here. Good morning. Good morning. You say this is a smart move by the attorney general . Really smart. And he got there first. Youre hearing noise from representatives and senators all the way up to harry reid that they want to investigate, and the fcc. Eric schneiderman is smart. What happened in fantasy football is this. Originally it was a yearlong game. That didnt seem so harmful. It was exempt from the 2006 unlawful internet gambling enforcement contact, because it was looked at as skill, not as simply chance. But now, whats happened in fantasy football is you can make a lot of money, because its daily, and its weekly. So if youre an employee on one of these sites, and you bet on the other site, and just happyo happen to have a good weekend, that smacks of i mpropriety. We dont like the idea that an employee of one of these sites might have inside information that they can use to their advantage on another site. Why is there no regulation . There was regulation simply because it was exempt. So the industry says, okay, well regulate ourselves. Well, we know what happens when that occurs. So what everyone else is saying now is like, no, no, no, you cant police yourself, were going to police you. So its not going to be anymore that someone who appears to have knowledge can be able to bet on the other sites. I mean, what were they thinking . None of these people should have been able to bet. Whats going to happen now . I think that the danger is fines. The danger is ultimately big time regulation. And if it goes further, the danger could really be indictments.
