In them, omar mateen pledges allegiance to the leader of the Islamic State group, and says the u. S. Should stop bombing iraq and syria. Initially, this morning, officials released partial transcripts, without the references to isis. Part of the redacting is to not give credence to individuals who have done terrorist acts in the past. Were not going to propagate their violent rhetoric and we see no value in putting those individuals names back out there. Were trying to prevent future acts from happening again and for cowards like this one, people like that influence them, so were not going to continue to put their names out front. Woodruff republicans criticized the decision, and hours later, the Justice Department put out more complete transcripts.

Still to come on the newshour the gun debate continues in congress and in court. A humanitarian crisis unveiled as Iraqi Forces Retake fallujah. A major shakeup in the donald Trump Campaign, and much more. Ifill in the wake of the deadly orlando nightclub shooting, the debate over gun violence faced a series of votes on capitol hill. Lisa desjardins reports. Reporter from courtrooms, to congress, the often theoretical debate over guns touched ground today, eight days after the massacre in orlando. In washington a showdown on the senate floor over four different gun control measures, from background checks to banning sales to those on the nofly list. It was a classic partisan duel. Tried, all the time the cheerleaders of bosses of nra,. Our colleagues want to make this about gun control, colleagues many ways want to fight the symptoms without fighting the disease. Reporter lots of debate, but no expected changes, when all was said and done. Across the street, Supreme Court justices decided not to hear an appeal of semiautomatic weapons bans in connecticut and new york. That means the bans, enacted after the School Shootings in 2012, at newtown, connecticut, stay in place. Families of the newtown victims were also watching this courtroom in bridgeport, where a state judge heard arguments about whether they can sue a gun manufacturer. James vogts represents remington arms, which made the semi automatic rifle used in the newtown shooting its really not the role of this court, or perhaps a jury, to decide whether civilians, as a broad class of people, are not appropriate to own these class of firearms. Reporter Joshua Koskoff represents the families who are suing. It was an ar15 rifle, a weapon, judge, that was designed to be used in combat by our military to assault and kill enemies of war in the fields of it was remingtons choice to entrust the most notorious American Military killing machine to the public. Reporter recent polls show americans generally support gun restrictions. In a reutersipsos survey last week, about 71 approved of strong or moderate gun restrictions. While about 16 want basic limits and just six percent said firearms should have no or few restrictions. But as debate continues, so does the violence. In chicago yesterday, Police Reported something rare an apparent gangrelated shooting using not a handgun, but a semi automatic assault rifle. I mean, when does it stop . Whats going to how do we get help with this . Reporter the chicago victim was 17 years old. Ifill for more on the recurring debate over gun laws and gun ownership, we turn now to marcia coyle, newshour regular and chief washington correspondent for the national law journal. Evan osnos, whose extensive report on concealed carry laws appears in this weeks new yorker magazine. And newshour correspondent lisa desjardins, whos been following the action on capitol hill. As of now this time 6 00 p. M. Eastern time tonight do we have is there any possibility any of the four gun bills that were up for a vote today might pass . Realistically, no. We already know one has failed. Something feels innocuous. Background checking, received 60 votes, republican amendment that did not clear, we do not expect the others to clear there that bar either. Ifill Public Opinion . Not just americans as a whole gwen supporting things like background checks, moderate restrictions you could say but republicans as a group. Recently pew and many other groups find 80 support background checks but republicans are going the other directions. Ifill marcia the court decided not to take up a challenge to assault weapons in new york and connecticut. We know when the court doesnt do something that doesnt necessarily mean a lot. But theres a record here. Theres a pattern. Well there is, the court not wanting to get back into this Second Amendment arena. The courts had a number of petitions come before them in recent years. Even this year there was another assault weapon type ban out of Highland Park illinois. The challenge came to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court did not want to take it up. Its not unusual for the court to allow certain questions, to percolate in the lower court, after its made a major ruling. And the major ruling though here came in 2008 in the socalled heller decision involving the District Of Columbia yas handgn ban. You need four to take a case into the Supreme Court and there just isnt there. Despite strong dissent, clarence thomas, samuel alito, and the late scalia. They are about how the lower courts have been dealing the 2008 landmark decision. Those three justices have said at various times that they feel the lower courts arent giving right, recognized 50 Second Amendment, the due by the Second Amended meament the due it should have. They are alt over the map how they examine restrictions on guns and its time they feel for the court to step back into this area. Ifill okay, evan, lets talk more specifically about the Business Branch of government as it were. There is a business incentive which has various to did with the laws about do with the laws about why guns continue to be sold. This is the thing that is sort of a paradox, at this moment when we look at the effects that guns have had on the country in the last two weeks, the gu gun managers are doing better than ever. Smith and wesson stock increased 10 bithe time the market opened after orlando. Whats going on . The industry experiences a very unique place in american culture. Since the law that was passed in congress in 2005, meaning somebody passes a lawsuit its very difficult to do it. One of the things we heard in the segment is in connecticut, that lawsuit is enormously important. What its going to try to do is figure out if the gun industry today which has basically been able to profit in the period that Mass Shootings have elevated the fear, elevated peoples desire to own a gun for self defense, civil case he in the past have shaped industry behavior, bp with oil or tobacco and how they market, whether in fact they will be shaped by their role in these kinds of national tragedies. Lisa, we have been talking second effort of gun control in the senate has failed. Here is my question, as evan just said, theres a distinct difference between an argument about gun control and self defense. Self defense seems something everybody can get behind. Is that argument playing out on the floor of the senate or something more arcane . Its both. The biggest argument is the argument about the nofly or terror watch list. I say this that while todays votes do not expect to be meaningful, there is a compromise effort led by Susan Collins of main, in somehow preventing people on the no fly list from getting guns. There are talks similar, the difference in is between republicans mistrust of government having a list of americans that it can block from having a gun. The list is not public, you dont know when youre on the list, and republicans say thats a problem. They err on the side of allowing more people the ability to buy guns. Democrats say no. Lets err on the side of preventing people who we think are dangerous from owning guns. Thats what theyre working out now. Ifill the courts in general, is there a long line of gun debates headed for high court or does it pretty much stop at Appeals Court . Does it pretty much stop further down the line so the court waits for conflict . The court will wait for a conflict. And they may get one, involving marylands ban on assault weapons that right now is in the Fourth Circuit court of appeals and was argued in may, so a decision could come any day. But theres another factor too, gwen, that i think comes into place here. That is, the new york case that the Supreme Court did not take today, was not the major challenge. The federal Appellate Court that ruled in the connecticut case also had another new york challenge at the same time and uphold new yorks ban back in october. In march, the largest Gun Rights Group in new york decided not to go to the Supreme Court on the advice of their lawyers, for two reasons. One, Justice Scalia was no longer on the bench, the champion of the Second Amendment individual right. And two, we now have an eightjustice court and the possibility of a 44 split would mean the lower courts opinion upholding both bans would stay in plate. They didnt want that precedent. Ifill fascinating. Evan, you talk about corch sealed carry laws concealed carry laws, multiple gun ownership, one person can own eight guns and thats happening more and more. Right, this is the thing we dont often talk about, the biggest thing thats begun on in the culture of guns and the business of guns over the last generation is you can now legally carry them in places you simply cant before. In two decades ago you couldnt leave your house in 22 states, restricted to go outside with a gun. Now its legal in 50 states. This is the beginning or the end of a National Political conversation about whether or not we are ready for that. Whether or not people accept that and where they accept that. One of the reasons the court has been reluctant to weigh in to what is the next great frontier is, the radical differences in place to place and so far what has happened is that the courts have basically said were going to leave it to the local governments, state governments and lower governments, to decide who can carry a gun and why. Lisa. The difference in the american landscape you see as a percentage, fewer gun owners tbutd they are owning more guns. Becoming concentrated in very vocal minorities but controlling the eenchts. Lisa desjardins, evan osnos and marcia coyle, thank you all very much. Woodruff now, we turn to iraq. The offensive to retake the city of fallujah, held by isis for more than two years, is proceeding much more quickly than anticipated. But the fighting has forced tens of thousands of its residents into the desert, as temperatures soar, without services, or even water in many cases. We turn to special correspondent jane arraf in baghdad, where she is on assignment for the Christian Science monitor. Jane, you were just in fallujah yesterday. And is it the case this operation has been going much faster than expected . Judy i. T. Has been going faster than certain of the previous operations, including the battle for the provincial capital anbar. But fallujah, where i. S. I. S. First came into, where they tried to persuade iraqis that they were a better alternative than the Iraqi Government. They didnt lay the land mines, they didnt lay the improvised explosives that they did in the other cities. I. T. Was faster to actually go through there and fight, having said that, they have not in fact liberated fallujah in the sense that the Iraqi Government likes to say that they have. Now Iraqi Special forces including the commander who we spoke with says that they have now cleared 75 of the city. American military sources say they think thats closer to 25 . And they say that the effort is continuing. But as its continuing, as you pointed out, there is absolute tragedy on the outskirts of fallujah with all the civilians trying to flea. Woodruff well tell us about that. What who stayed in fallujah when i. S. I. S. Had control, and whats happening to those people . Most did leave at the beginning but then a lot of people stayed for a variety of reasons. And when it got to two year
