More about what the motive was, but that s going to take time. i know the investigators are going to be meticulous in the work that they do, and that s what they do. i know that they will release information when they feel like they can. reporter: i know you said and you say on your website you have a strong record of fighting the nra, of fighting the gun lobby. does this change anything for you though in what you see yourself doing moving forward? well, it just means that we have to redouble our efforts and get real meaningful change passed in virginia. it is reporter: you have to find the place to have a conversation, yeah. well, we need to be having it. we said we were going to have it after the virginia tech tragedy and that shooting, and yet here we are 12 years later. reporter: we will be watching where the conversation goes. thank you for joining us. virginia attorney general marc herring joining us. just ahead, what we re learning about the accused gunman including
Thank you, both. in virginia tech go ahead, no, no. we re three minutes over. virginia tech we recognized just where florida is seeing the law enforcement failures. we had mental health failures in the virginia tech tragedy. that shooter is from the same high school as shot two police in my state senate district including a friend of mine the year before. and it was mental health in that situation too. so let s not ignore it. it s huge. i did not say ignore it. it is very real. it is very real. the part of the problem is that person had access to a gun. thank you. don t miss the van jones show this weekend with special guest steph curry. he s going to talk. they ll talk about basketball. i d like to sit down with you guys and talk about stardom, his community, activism, and what championship warriors are doing, what they re doing instead of going to the white house. that s the van jones show. it s saturday at 7:00 eastern. 7:00 p.m. eastern. not 7:00 a.m. 4:00 p.m.
