do i real need a magazine that shoots a hundred round? can i be satisfied with one that shoots six or seven? can that still hunt? we talk about entitlements and tax reform, i think that has to be part of the conversation. i think the majority would say wayne lapierre, you re wrong. you ve got 35 states that don t cooperate with the fbi on background checks. you ve got states now that permit gun, conceal guns in elementary schools, you ve got such a patchwork quilt of states permitting guns and access to guns in places where common sense says they shouldn t be but certainly on these magazines. why not a bill that says how about federal grants for armed security in schools, address mental health, i mean, it s a conversation about culture as well as some of these gun restrictions because it sounds likes that s not where the administration is headed. i don t know how they get it through the house.
obligation to be factually truthful. everything these politicians are saying about that is not true. they say see guns are more powerful, not true, that they leave bigger holes, not true, that they re weapons of war, not true. they say they re military guns like our soldiers use, not gun. i haven t said any of those things this morning. i know. our conversation is about what i m asking. you think it won t pass and you wouldn t support any reduction of capacity magazines? we don t think it works and we re not going to support it. i was in a cnn studio and they started running this footage of somebody shooting dianne feinstein s guns and saying these are the guns the nra wants to put back on the streets. i said i challenge the man from cnn to defend this story because you faked the story. they went to the range the following monday and showed the fire arms that were on dianne
and eliminate the fact that 40% with buy a weapon without any background check? we don t prosecute anybody under the gun laws right now. that s not responsive to the question. i hear you saying you can t do anything about high capacity ammunition magazines because it simply won t work yet you re proposing things that might not work. you re standard is anything that has a chance of working we ought to try except when it has to do with guns or ammunition. don t you see that people see thoo as a complete dodge? nra supports what works. we have supported prison building, supported projects where every time you catch a criminal with a gun, a drug dealer with a gun, a violent felon with a gun, you prosecutor them 1 sh00% of the time. if you want to control violent criminals, take them off the
lindsey graham. senator schumer, your reaction to wayne lapierre. he is saying any attempt the president makes at gun control legislation is bound to fail because it won t work and it s just a bunch of old arguments. how do you react? i think he s so extreme and so tone deaf that he actually helps the cause of us passing sensible gun legislation in the congress. look, he blames everything but guns, movies, the media, president obama, gun-free school zones, you name it, the video games, he blames them. now, trying to prevent shootings in schools without talking about guns is like trying to prevent lung cancer without talking about cigarettes. he is so adamant that i believe gun owners turn against him as well. look, he says the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. what about trying to stop the bad guy from getting the gun in the first place. that s common sense, most americans agree with it and i just think he s turning people off. that s not where america i
