have quite enough to actually win on the floor. okay. let s talk about this, mr. chairman. in the aftermath of this oregon shooting, this terrible shooting, let s talk about guns. we re learning tonight the president is going to head to oregon on friday. he s going to meet with the families. he called on the media to compare the number of americans killed by terrorism versus gun violence. i m sure you saw that during that press conference. for every american killed by terrorism, more than a thousand have died from firearms. we have also seen 51 mass shootings in the united states since 1997. what are we doing wrong? well, look, there sa constitutional right to bear ar arms. and a law-abiding citizen in this country has the right to bear arms. there is some common ground where i would like to work with the president is on the issue of mental health. there does seem to be a common denominator not in every
answer but no root problem solutions. his bill does that. i hope when i m speaker he ll be able to take that up, one of the first bills we take up. we are familiar with that bill. we talked about it a lot on new day. what about gun control? do you have any sense that any laws need to be tightened? not from the federal law. not from the federal law. we need to enforce the gun laws we have today. in a lot of cases we don t. i think tim murphy s bill is probably the most important single issue we ought to deal with when it comes to mental health and gun control. congressman daniel webster, thanks so much for being on new day. great to be on. one of the victims of the oregon shooting, rebecka ann carnes, we ll speak to a family member and see what he wants to come out of this tragedy.
involved in investigating the incident. there is an effort here to show what the united states is going to do in terms of an investigation. should answer a lot of the questions doctors without borders have. tough situation. what a shame. thank you very much. still to come, days after the deadly oregon shooting, hillary clinton is about to jump into the gun control debate. we re live in manchester, new hampshire, where clinton is about to lay out her plan. hi there. hillary clinton is struggling here in the polls in new hampshire, trailing behind bernie sanders. she s trying to really in a full day of events today, set herself apart from him, including the gun proposals she s unveiling. i ll have a live report after the break.
owned during that debate during that hearing. it s going to be an interesting time period for you guys in your caucus. well, and i m glad the american people are watching. the american people know hillary clinton can blame no one but herself when it comes to who made the mistakes with the server, who made mistakes with benghazi. and they want her to tell the truth. i represent a major military post. i am not hearing from men and women in uniform, they want to know who gave a standdown order, who gave a stay behind order it s also put these lives in danger. we only have a few more minutes. i want to turn from this to the oregon shooting and comments made by jeb bush that you were just referring to. jeb bush, he gave a very long answer, but among the many, many words in his long answer was this. it s very sad to see, but i
if they had guns, they would have been better off. those are donald trump s comments on gun control at the wake of the oregon shooting. listen to more from trump. the second amendment to our constitution is clear. now, this is in light of what has gone on in oregon. every time something happens, they don t blame mental illness that are mental health care is out of whack and all of the other problems. and, by the way, it was a gun-free zone. i will tell you if you had a couple of the teachers or somebody with guns in that room, you would have been a hell of a lot better off. played well to the room but let s fact check here. that is not completely correct. although the school itself banned guns oregon s law allowed people to carry their weapons on campus and in other places.
