for jennifer and james crumbley, four counts each tells you what? it tells me they have a much stronger case than mere negligence at this stage. in most of these instances the parents are not even criminallies from cuted. most historic cases involving a child or kid using a gun, sometimes there s civilian lawsuits brought or civil lawsuits brought against them later on by the victims families. this is historic, depending on what s about to happen, which it is the first case that a prosecutor will bring criminal charges against the parents of a perpetrator of a mass school shooting for involuntary manslaughter. this is a mass school shooting case. the only criminal prosecutions i can find in the past are ones they go after a parent because the kid shot himself or another family member. this is extending it. part of this is because the nra and gun lobbying groups have been so successful at stopping
contrary to the narrative pushed by the nra and other gun lobbying groups, for most of american history, the idea that the second amendment guaranteed unfettered personal gun ownership was a non starter. indeed, well into the 20th century the supreme court repeatedly ruled that the second amendment applied only to gun ownership with within the context of a state militia. former supreme court justice warren burger appointed by republican president richard nixon, was asked about the nra ideal of unlimited gun ownership under the second amendment in 1991. this is been the subject of one of the greatest pieces of fraud, i repeat the word fraud on the american public. by special interest groups, that i ve ever seen in my lifetime. in between a chief justice burger s condemnation of

strong hold on someone like president trump. and i think that that is what we need to be watching for. members of the gun lobbying groups and the pro second right groups he s meeting with and talking to that might have influence over what he wants to do at the end of the day no matter what the polls show or what republicans in congress show or say. but to your point with the poll, there are other polls and surveys from fivethirtyeight that they re more interested in gun control legislation and that s something they have to answer and at the end of the day they don t discriminate. they discriminate when they re inspired by white nationalists but they affect all people of all backgrounds and that s something that members of congress have to think about. thank you both. much appreciated. up next, elizabeth warren apologizing to the native american community, but did she negate the president s favorite attack? negate the president s favorite attack i didn t have to call an ambulance.
nra is really activate quite a few voters and make a real difference in states where, for example, if they wanted to launch a primary campaign against somebody there is an element of fear for lawmakers, particularly republican lawmakers. that capacity is diminished. and one of the questions that i have here is whether this is a situation where the nra will essentially try to take advantage of it to paper over some of these problems that they ve been having. the nra has also had some competition among other gun lobbying groups mainly on the right, gun owners of america is an example of one that s cropped up over the last ten years or so. and we saw that kind of play a role in how, for example, lobbying played out after the newtown shooting when we all thought that certainly something would be done and then nothing was. that was an important element at play. so it s unpredictable, i think, how it might affect it.
