just sick. it has no, no social redeeming value. just profit for the manufacturers. can you do anything about the gun laws in the lame duck? i will try to get rid of assault weapons. joining me now is nbc news white house correspondent kelly o donnell with the president in nantucket. charlie sykes at the bull work. donna edwards and harry litman. good to have you here. kelly, the president little vague beyond saying he would try. has the whout been anymore specific? reporter: they have not. this is a long standing issue for the president and talking at it it draws out emotion and feeling about it. he believes that he was successful in the past and the law banning assault weapons that had a 10-year sunset provision. we go back to this state of
and there are increasingly more capabilities that iran gains over the next few years as it continues to play this thing out. the real problem is the deal is getting weaker day by day as we get closer to the sunset provision. longer deal, ideally a deal that goes on forever that says iran will never make a nuclear weapon, but on top of that, we need real checks and balances, none of which were in the original deal and we need iran s commitment that it won t continue its bad behavior in the region, support for hezbollah, for hamas, for the groups in yemen. iran is causing all sorts of trouble around the region, they refuse to bring in any of them. and finally the ballistics missile program, if we don t bring that in, that s a huge problem in and of itself. these are flaws that the biden administration hasn t worked out with iran. iran sees an opportunity to get better on these deals not worse because they see the dispute happening in the u.s. and israel. eric: isn t tehran hoodwinking
home, we got nothing. that s why it s so important to pass this law on a bipartisan basis. republican leaders spoke at a luncheon today. the nra got what they wanted from this process. it does not apply retroactive of late. it only applies to recent relationships. to 10 years sunset provision to ensure enhanced background checks for juvenile records that can be repealed in a decade. is someone that has tried to pass this for over 10 years, i would have looked back at all past convictions. what does this do? 19 states have closed the loophole. after this bill happened, in those other states, if someone is convicted of domestic violence in any of these other states, it bans them from going out and getting a gun. even if the dating partner has been involved in this. that is a big change. that s a game changer. when i told you have to the

of their base, they just lie. that was a lie. in fact there were no ak-47s owned by large numbers of civilians. and furthermore, there was a period of ten years, i think i ve forgotten under which president this was, but it eventually expired, where people weren t allowed to own ak-47s as private citizens. there is no other country on earth that allows this and there is no other country on earth which loses as many children s lives because its citizens and its politicians are unwilling to do anything about it. yeah, and you mentioned, again, to fact check the statement, clearly congressman scalise, and again, i respect what he s been through, but on the facts, he is misleading the public when he says that, as you mentioned, governor, if 94 to 04 you had some of those types of weapons banned. the sunset provision, which made it automatically expire was part of the negotiation to get it in
