the nra wasn't always this way. throughout most of our history of mass shootings, they were for gun control. particularly when ronald reagan was governor of california and backed a law designed to disarm the black panthers who were openly carrying in california. but now the nra backs laws that make it easier to carry guns everywhere. in schools, bars, even at church. they just celebrated passing a bunch of the laws in texas and they specialize in pushing laws like stand your ground that let people use their guns on other people with legal impunity. america is a nation full of guns, and where one political party is completely beholden and obedient to the gun dealers, but we do not have to be. at some point we have to decide which we love more, the guns, or our lives. the guns, or our freedom to be in public or at school or at church or synagogue or at mosque without feeling constantly terrified. the guns or our kids? we don't have to keep living like this. his life is... pretty comfortable. rick blomquist thought he

in the nra there's overwhelming support for background checks. it's about money, that drives a small sliver of industry. which is why the walmart thing is important. i'm with karine, mitch mcconnell, in the current world order, mitch mcconnell and donald trump will stop all gun and safety measures 100%. doesn't matter how many mass shootings there are, political change is not necessary. however the thing that changes the political structure is when the money starts to change. when republicans that march to the nra's tune, to their orders, start to get pressured by other financially organized interests, by business groups, by when walmart decides to do what it did, every retailer in the country that touches guns or ammunition is watching walmart's stock, understands those are sophisticated people in arkansas and who know it's not the public opinion changing so much but the public opinion is changing the way it has an impact on the bottom line and stock price. when that starts to happen, which is like symbolically and practically the walmart thing

but the nra like all u.s. citizens is protected by the first amendment. we posted the full complaint on kpix.com. it allows a number of corporate entities to cut ties with the nra and membership, walmart and cvs and albertsons chains all asked customers not to openly carry firearms into their stores. >>> democratic leaders say the problem is not going away. >> how they are urging legislation on gun safety after weeks after ohio and gilroy. >> too many americans are losing their lives to gun violence. too many families are weeping because they have lost loved ones. >> senator chuck schumer among the top democrats calling for hr 8, the background checks act of 2090 to be brought to the senate floor for a vote. >> we are not taking no for an answer. we are not going away. >> reporter: the bill passed by the house establishes new background check requirements for gun sales between private parties. it doesn't affect some weapons transfers like gifts between family members. >> we are trying to take anybody's gun away was you are person with mental illness or i.

and it says the nra does provide that support. >> the nra exists to spread disinformation and knowingly puts weapons in the hands of those who would harm and terrorize us by blocking common sense gun violence prevention legislation and by advocating for dangerous legislation like stand your ground laws, permitless carry, and guns in schools from kindergarten on up through university. >> reporter: she's a long time leader in a group moms demand action. >> it's time to rid this country of the nra and call them out for who they really are. they are a domestic terrorist organization. >> reporter: but the resolution doesn't just label the nra as terrorists. it also says the city should assess the financial and contractual relationships our vendors and contractors have with the nra and limit those entities who do business with the city from doing business with the nra. that threat of harming contractors is at the heart of the nra's federal lawsuit. according to the legal complaint, calling the nra a terrorist organization coupled with a unanimous legislative vow to blacklist any and all suppo

. >> we believe that the nra is a hugely destructive force in this country. there are thousands and thousands of gun deaths every year. there are assault rifles and weapons of war that are on the streets and the nra, every step of the way has some division and sought to keep these weapons on the street. and in our perspective, that is a threat to public safety. >> that his supervisor met any who went on to say this is a frivolous lawsuit and a political move by the nra and it, he predicts it will get thrown out of court very soon. the nra attorney said this is an assault on all advocacy organizations across the country. there can be no place in our society for this manner of behavior by government officials. fourthly, the nra like all u.s. citizens is protected by the first amendment. we posted the full complaint on kpix.com. the san francisco resolution files, follows a number of corporate with the cut ties with the nra and membership. walmart and cvs and albertson's chains have asked customers not to openly carry firearms into their stores. >>> happening to

the nra or gun members but people who had investments in weapons

i have met thousands of nra members. i'm a lifetime member. these people like personal responsibility, they like freedom, they believe in the second amendment and that is why they are members of the t nra. and i think it's important to be clear, people don't own firearms because of the nra as san francisco says in the stupid ordinance that they pass. they own firearms because they have a constitutional right to do so to protect themselves and their families. and everything that nra members represent, rural america, individualism, personal responsibility, is what the left hates and if the nra that is responsible for thousands of hours of gun safety training, thousands of hours of hunter education training thousands of hours of work on real legislation that just went through, for example, o the fix next program which actually does more to help with the background check system in this country so people who shouldn't have guns don't have them. whereas the left accuses them of being terrorist and does nothing about the issue. >> tucker: that's kind

dan, is mcconnell just working for the nra? or is he trying to protect american second amendment rights and this emotional lurch to enact more big government regulations as we have seen in the past? >> i think mcconnell understands what most sane people understand, especially law enforcement professionals like i used to be before i left. criminals don't give a rat's ass about gun laws. can i say that? they don't care. now, a lot of people and liberals who have never handled the gun or worked in law enforcement talk out of the wrong end of their body and insist somehow the next law iste going to be the one to do this. i get it. i get their concerns. these are serious tragic incidents that happened.ag i am not minimized that at all because i have children, too.us the guy with this recent incident where the guy failed the background check and one went and procured a gun the other way already broke the law. what he did was illegal. what do you want to make it? extra super illegal with a new law? goodt? for mitch mcconnell to bringi

he talks to the nra and starts moonwalking on that. you just heard julian castro say it's going to be a big issue. could this be a detrimental issue when americans feel like they are 4 sitting ducks for mass shootings and no one's really doing anything about it? >> yes, reverend al, i do think that the republican party is going to have to pretty much take note and something that may mayor castro said earlier kind of hit home with me. the fact that the nra which used to be -- you know, i'm a fund-raiser, a national fund-raiser and the nra used to be one of the biggest powerhouse as far as getting money to politicians and raising them money so that they can get their messages out. right now, wohen you've got a lt of people running for congress, people running for u.s. senate, that may be a bad play because they may get a lot of pushback from, you know, mothers and, you know, people that have children in school and just overall people that are concerned and tired of all the mass shootings that we're seeing. they may have some ramification

the nra is "a ludicrous stunt." joins walmart in asking customers not to bring firearms into their stores, even in states where open carry is allowed. jesse, you know, you hear about this, the democrats saying, hey, what about an assault weapon buyback program, right? and then some people on the right say, oh, confiscation. how does the buyback program strike you? >> jesse: they are talking about confiscation. i heard the words come out of his big mouth. listen how ridiculous that is. people like to say there's tons-20000000 illegal immigrants in this country. you can't just round them up. it's impossible. there's hundreds of millions of firearms in this country. are you going to confiscate and round all those up either? no, beto wants to confiscate them. people are rallying behind that. this is ridiculous, because any illegal alien was just there, five times reported. he's shot. he gets protection. what a lie law-abiding nra mems labeled a terrorist? that's crazy. no nra member has ever committed a shooting. in fac

everything that nra numbers represent. it rural america, individualism, personal responsibility, that's what the left hates and the nra is responsible for thousands of hours of gun safety training, thousands of hours of hunter education training and thousands of hours of work on real legislation that just went through for example to fix nick's program which actually does more to help with the background check system in this country so people who shouldn't have guns don't have them. >> tucker: that's kind of a crux of it. by the way, a lot of us who believe in the second amendment and think the constitution is worth preserving our routing for the nra and hope that the leadership gets its act together and protects the second amendment because it is important. but the irony it seems to me in this case is you just had a guy who murdered someone, right on the embarcadero in downtown san francisco within a legal gun and leadership in san francisco is like, no big deal. >> leadership in san francisco and the left in washington, d

, turmoil in the nra. do you buy that at all, that politically that creates some kind of open hearing for something to happen on the gun control side? or do you think this just ends where it's consistently in ended for the last number of years now? >> i don't believe that the nra is going to back down at all. i agree with you, noelle, that the president has sort of no moral consistency except when it comes to white supremacy. but policy wise, he is all over the place. the nra, they still have money. they may not have as much money and put forward as much money as they have in the past, they still have millions of dollars that they flood local primary races and general elections to make sure that they get the composition of a republican congress that they want. and if we look at some of these past bills that have gone through the house and also the senate, it's completely partisan. we see republicans refusing to act, even when we're having mass shootings, right now every three to four days. if this were 199

the nra is important for background checks? >> the whole background check system was backed by the nra. >> i can sell a phone to -- >> sean: postelection. let's see. north carolina's ninth district. next. vo: whatever your type, ask your doctor if epclusa is your kind of cure. woman 2: i had the common type. man 2: mine was rare. vo: epclusa has a 98% overall cure rate. man 3: i just found out about my hepatitis c. woman 3: i knew for years. vo: epclusa is only one pill, once a day, taken with or without food for 12 weeks. vo: before starting epclusa, your doctor will test if you have had hepatitis b, which may flare up, and could cause serious liver problems during and after treatment. vo: tell your doctor if you have had hepatitis b, other liver or kidney problems, hiv, or other medical conditions... vo: ...and all medicines you take, including herbal supplements. vo: taking amiodarone with epclusa may cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. vo: common side effects include headache and tiredness. vo: ask your doctor today

has the nra killed anyone? of course not. it is absurd, but when do facts matter in the anti-semitic? they don't. it's only getting worse. the left is bowling corporations to do its dirty work. on a host of issues they successfully forced week need corporate leaders to fall in line. and including on the antis set -- anti-semitic second agenda. yesterday walmart the biggest retailer in the world curtailing gun sales and it had banned ar-15 weapons the most powerful right point -- rifle in the united states and getting out of the business completely and no longer selling barrel rifle ammo. and kroger, they announce for bidding people from openly carrying weapons and their grocery stores even in places where it is completely legal to do so. so you have a situation where retailers are competing with each other and not on products they are offering, but to see who goes to the far left. who wins out in the virtue signaling contest. and no, it doesn't matter, by the way if handguns save lives in the hands of good people. it doesn't

a lot like the nra. >> of course he was. of course he was. he is running a base strategy for his re-election campaign. he views the nra as a key part of that strategy, for funding and outreach. what should be surprising to all of us is this talk about background checks and everything. it's the guns. we need to stop these weapons from being out on the street. this is a long rifle. we don't know much about the type of rifle it is. the semiautomatic weapon that kills people in war does not need to be in the hands of anybody. and one more thing to get around is more of way of consensus. there are civil rights behind it. more officers do not go on the beat with a clip more than 20 bullets in it. >> we're talking about the nra, the importance of the nra, and a lot of people thinking, they're a mess. they're not tied in with the democrats. the only person they really have, is the nra weakening here? >> if you can't go after the nra now, given they are in complete dysfunction, when are you going to do it? they can take thoughts and

at the mystic terrorist organization in the nra is suing the city and the nra's attorney says this action is an assault on all advocacy organizations across the country. they can be no place in our society for this manner of behavior by government officials. the nra like all us citizens is protected by the first amendment. the second amendment too. as the legal battle plays a lot of people are reacting on social media. thomas says someone needs to do some real research before filing such absurd lawsuits, that person supporting san francisco, jeffrey tweets good, san francisco claiming the nra is a terrorist organization has every right to sue the city council for that and adam tweets that was 100% predictable and inevitable, talking about the city's resolution to name the nra a terrorist organization but some critics including a writer for the los angeles times think the city just took the system too far. >> the resolution doesn't really mean anything but they were doing this and hope some other cities and communities would follow suit. let's talk about this. diverse city inventory. what

nra will work to continue to -- the same san francisco supervisor who called the nra a terrorist organization in the board meeting urging republican leaders in washington to take swift action on guns when they return to capitol hill next week. >> i want to thank the mayor and other supervisors for joining me. we held that rally to urge majority leaders of the senate, mitch mcconnell, to bring a background check bill to a vote in the senate. one that passed in the house. it has been sitting on his desk for over 200 days. >> kennedy: earlier today senate minority leader chuck schumer said democrats will work as hard as we can to prevail on the majority to finally address the gun violence epidemic. leader mcconnell has repeatedly blocked bipartisan house-passed bills to do just that. tyrus, the nra says san francisco is deflecting. >> tyrus: 100% deflecting. history tends to always repeat itself. if you go back to j. edgar hoover was going out and anyone against him was a communist. we look how wrong that was. now you do it politely. i called an american institution a terrorist organization beca

someone saying, "hey, nra, you got to give a little bit." >> lisa: the only reason nra has power, or the gun owners behind it, i think part of that -- we've mentioned this before. the national landscape does not matter as much as what's going on in these individual states and congressional districts. the challenge is, you got people like jessica who grew up in new york city, not a gun owner, verses -- i'm not, either. that's not negative against you, i'm just saying. and you have other people in the country or gun owners, as well. if you say that that nra is a terrorist organization and essentially any other gun owner is also complicit, or we have people saying marco rubio is essentially a murder after the park when shooting, you think that is going to -- that removes any honest conversation from the table. >> jessica: going back to what melissa said, it is so important for typically left-leaning organizations to say, "this is obviously not a domestic terror organization." >> melissa: which you did right away. >> jessica: absolutely. you will not fine a bar for serving someone alcoho

the nra is at its weakest financially. why isn't he doing something on this? >> phil rucker, you want to weigh in on how long before someone comes to trump and says, hey, you want to look strong, do something on guns? >> well, i actually think perhaps he's heard that argument or heard that argument in the media, which we know he's a vorvacious consumer of. there are a few states he wants to lock down in his path to reelection. one is pennsylvania. there are a lot of supporters in pennsylvania and a lot back the gun measures, why the senator pat toomey has been such an advocate for background checks all these years and a chance for trump to win the suburban women who have deserted him during his presidency very well may be background checks, a calculation he has to be thinking about and considering in months ahead, a good point you way. >> it's unknowable what the effects of el paso will be and i wouldn't be surprised if they are talking about this issue and everything else. >>> beto is back and so is his "f" bomb, deservedly so, democrats once again channeling

i am a member of the nra. heather: i want kevin to respond and this statement from the nra on the resolution which was an 11 member board in terms of does it legally mean anything? ludicrous stunned by the board of supervisors is an effort to distract from the real problems like rampant homelessness, drug abuse, skyrocketing petty crime to name a few. the nra will continue working to protect the constitutional rights of all freedom loving americans. do you think this is a way to try to distract from the bigger problem? >> good question. i don't know if attacking the city of san francisco is a winning argument but i do know and violence is on the rise. 100 americans every day are killed by guns in a violent situation. you are seeing palpable frustration on the part of the board of supervisors in san francisco that wants to raise the conversation. don't know if it is effective to label a domestic terrorist organization but something has to get done. the vast majority of americans, 90% of americans, republicans,

only the nra can protect you. they send out tons and tons of email, direct mail, fundraising solicitations, and historically it works pretty well. it will not work if the nra reaches out through donors and say hey, actually, what walmart did is pretty reasonable and we can live with slightly tighter gun laws. they don't make any money of that, and right now what they need is money. >> that's interesting. there is something happening in the polling, igor. i really do think it's changing recently. it's a little like the climate conversation we had where the public opinion is shifting. i talked to cory booker about the gun licensing getting 82%, which is a shocking result for me. universal background checks, 93% support. 6% oppose. that appears to be extremely germane in the case of the west texas shooter who failed one and then used the loophole to get around it. and even mandatory buy bill clintons of assault weapons. this would read like requiring people to sell back their weapons is at 46% to 49%. that is -- that

nra nra members want some common sense reforms. background checks or things like the that. the polling is overwhelming and would seem to be a fairly obvious political winner. we're seeing it, democrats on the trail. congressman o'rourke in particular has been fiery about this. others others as well whether it's joe biden or elizabeth warren. the question is whether republicans move on it when congress comes back to session. we've been reporting that there is some movement behind the scenes for some sort of the measures. the white house is working to sort of -- like a hodgepodge of ideas that something the president can get behind as the white house bill. it's going to be modest stuff. it will be improving, making sure juvenile information gets into existing background checks. the attorney general is writing legislation that could make it -- speed up capital punishment for mass shooters. there's some debate whether that's a deterrent since so many of them are looking to die anyway in the moment. where the president can get out there and say, we've done something that the nra

that is the reasonable common sense regulation the nra no longer supports and gunfight tell that story and others but it is fascinating the discussion of gun politics going to the beginning of the republic. and last is this wonderful book the first congress, how james madison, george washington and a group of extraordinary men invented government. i have always been curious about the first congress because there is a canon of constitutional construction in our law which says decisions made by the first congress are given some difference in terms of interpreting the meaning of the constitution, they were on the ground floor when the constitution was written so their practices deserve special scrutiny and a lot of members of the first congress themselves were signers of the constitution and the declaration of independence. the first congress met not in washington but new york. james madison described the congress as being in a wilderness with no path forward that had ever been written so they had to decide where was the capital going to be, the politics around the decision to locate the

the nra denies it. this report goes to great lengths to try to involve the nra in activities of private individuals and create a false impression that the nra did not act appropriately. nothing could be furtherer from the truth. in a little danger, a little can be a lot. so, be on the lockout. >>> thank you for watching. stay tuned. the news continues here on cnn. >>> hello and welcome to viewers joining us here in the united states and all around the world. this is cnn

>>supervisor stephanie says she ultimately hopes the old nra comes back the nra that uses support background checks, gun education and safety. in san francisco said austin hernia kron 4 news. >>in response to the san francisco resolution, the national rifle association sent out this tweet saying quote this stunt is an effort to distract from the problems facing san francisco such as rampant homelessness drug abuse and petty crime to name a few. they are wasting taxpayer dollars to declare 5 million law abiding americans domestic terrorist and it's shameful. a plan for more housing is leading to a lot of debate in brentwood, this coming november, residents. there will vote on whether or not to expand the urban limit line as it's called so that a developer can build thousands of homes the land in question is located michelle kingston was there and she has more on the plan. >>wants to expand brent woods, urban limit line to build the vineyard said deer creek, a gated community with 2400 homes on 800 acres of land black hawk nun says it's a plan that will take 20 years to build and that 80% of t

watch this. >> the nra has it coming to them. i will do everything that i possibly can to call them out on what they are, which is a domestic terrorist organization. >> dana: the nra saying that's ludicrous and stunned by the board of supervisors in an effort to distract from the real problems plaguing san francisco, including homelessness and petty crime. the domestic terrorist organization, that's a very specific legal term, right? >> yeah. the first thing i thought of, what exactly are they planning to do with this? i was looking at the revolution. it's resolution passed by their board of supervisors that says we don't want any entities connected to san francisco to do business or be connected in any way with the nra. my first thought was, i can'ted imagine they are doing any of those things now. they say they want this to be a call to encourage other localities and maybe even states to make these kinds of decisions, but i don't think san francisco's got a whole lot of business going on with the nra. >> dana: also wanted to as

he cares a lot about where the money comes from, $30 million from the nra. that is also very persuasive. i don't think he's going to do anything. i think he's too beholden to the nra, and that's very, very sad. >> what's the suppresser association? what the hell is that? >> they represent gun silencers, so they represent the device that would silence a firearm, and the republicans, they actually after a mass shooting last congress tried to put legislation forward that would make it more widely assessable. that's where they are on this issue. we have to keep the drum beat going and show the frustration speaker pelosi showed that we cannot wait not to wait for the president but put forth ledge slagds. >> guys, i forgot that people need silencers on their guns to defend themselves in their homes. you have a silencer to shoot deer. the only reason to have a silencer is to commit crimes. >> this is one of those things where the white house is clearly being pulled in a whole bunch of different directions. but the white house is making a big show of bringing all th

we've seen what the nra has to say. do you have any hope from your perspective that mitch mcconnell will do anything? he's said he's not going to move until he knows that the president is going to sign something. which some have said is turning the senate's power over to the white house rather than having open debate and seeing whether there are the votes. >> a big part of the problem about politics in this country is that too many of our lawmakers have been beholden to the nra. we're starting to see that change. we are seeing companies now coming out in favor of gun safety. not just stopping carry in thei calling for things like a background check on every gun sale. they're doing that because their customers support it. you know, we are calling on congress to follow the lead of these companies and to do the right thing. and to pass a background check on every gun sale and stronger red flag laws which we know 90% of americans in 80% of gun owners support. it's time for the senate to do their job. if they think they can

the next couple of days the media jumped on this event and even the superintendent was blaming the nra, blaming guns. the sheriff blaming guns. i wanted to let you why the sheriff, when talking about the restorative justice programs of leniency, notut reporting crime, the sheriffs are elected sharess and it benefits him to join peace type of policies because his crime statistics look better when he runs the commercial for sheriff when he says he reduced crime by 30% but in actuality they are just not arresting. through our investigation the sheriff's department was at this murderer's house 40 times without an arrest. the sheriff makes a point to say he judged his success rate by the kids he kept out of jail. if he would have been arrested once, when they tipped off the fbi it would have came up but he was a problem kid but he had no background so as time started going on, i needed to honor my daughter and i wanted to find out everything that went wrong and believe me, it's in this book. it took a book, not an article, but a book to show the magnitude of failures and i owed it to my dau
