EVEN YOU KNOW SHE DIED YET MY >>
THEIR FAMILY HAS A STORY
>> John: JONATHAN AND
HINDSIGHT VERSUS COVER THESE
CASES SAME THING WITH BILL AND
RUTH.
IN CHARLESTON. ALTERS ALL THE STUFF THAT WAS
POSTED THERE ALL THESE RED FLAGS
RED FLAGS.
THIS GUY HAD THE RED FLAGS AT
THE WAZIR.
NEW YORK HAS A WEB RED FLAG LAW.
IT WASN’T ACTIVATED AND THAT.
IT WASN’T TAKEN AWAY IT WAS
IMPERATIVE FOR GETTING A GUN.
HOW DOES HE FALTER WITH THE
CRACK LIKE THAT?
>> IT IS GUT WRENCHING WHEN YOU
LOOK AT THE COST.
OF FAILING TO USE THESE LAWS.
YOU ARE ACTUALLY CORRECT.
THERE WERE A NUMBER OF RED FLAGS
THAT WERE RAISED WITH THIS
INDIVIDUAL.
THIS LAW WORKS MOST EFFECTIVE
WITH AN INSTITUTIONALIZED
INDIVIDUAL.
THAT’S WHEN YOU HAVE A REGULAR
RECORDING OF THAT INDIVIDUAL’S
NAME.
WHEN SOMEONE IS NOT AN
INSTITUTIONALIZED, FOR A
SIGNIFICANT PERIOD.
THEY CAN FALL WITH THE CRACKS.
IT DEPENDS ON FAMILY, IT DEPENDS
ON ACQUAINTANCES.
RAISING THE ALARM.
IT IS OFTEN VERY HARD.
IT IS HARD BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE
RELUCTANT TO ESCALATE THE
SITUATION. ALSO HARD, BECAUSE MA
THE SHOOTERS, TEND TO BE
ISOLATED INDIVIDUALS.
THEY SIT ALONE IN STEEL IN THEIR
HATE.
THIS IS A RACIST WHO SAT AROUND
FOR MONTHS STEWING IN THAT HATE
OF HIS.
FOR AFRICAN-AMERICANS, FOR
OTHERS IN OUR SOCIETY.
IT IS NOT UNCOMMON TO HAVE THESE
INDIVIDUAL SURFACE.
AND COMMIT THESE ACTS.
WHAT IS WORRISOME HERE, IS THAT
YOU HAVE A STATE WITH A RED FLAG
LAW, AND THERE WERE SOME
APPEARANCES, SOME OCCURRENCES.
THAT COULD HAVE BEEN USED TO
ACTIVATE THAT LAW.
BUT IT HAS TO GO TO A JUDGE.
THAT HAS TO ISSUE AN OPINION OR
AN ORDER.
THAT REQUIRES SOMEBODY TO PICK
UP
>> WE MENTIONED TO LYNN ROOF AS
WELL.
LET ME PUT UP THIS GRAPHIC OF
SOME HEADLINES OVER THE YEARS.
IN INDIANAPOLIS, SHOOTING,
RED FLAG THAT NEVER FLEW.
HE WROTE "KILL ALL WOMEN" BUT A
JUDGE RETURNED TO HIS GUNS.
COLORADO SHOOTING REVEALS LIMITS
AND STATE GUN CONTROL.
SAN JOSE SHOOTING, EVADING THE
TOUGH GUN LAWS.
INCIDENT AFTER INCIDENT,
JONATHAN.
PEOPLE SOMEHOW, I GUN, FELL
THROUGH THE CRACKS, EVADED STATE
LAWS.
PEOPLE FAILED TO REPAIR REPORT.
IN THE MEANTIME, PEOPLE ARE
DYING.
>> WHAT IS INTERESTING, JOHN, IS
THAT THESE LAWS GENERALLY DO
PASS CONSTITUTIONAL MUSTER.
THERE IS A SECOND AMENDMENT CASE
BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT
CURRENTLY.
MANY OF US EXPECT THAT THE COURT
IS GOING TO STRENGTHEN
SECOND AMENDMENT GUN RIGHTS AND
THAT OPINION.
BUT THESE ARE THE TYPES OF LAWS
THAT THERE IS GENERAL SUPPORT
FOR.
THEY CAN LIVE, THEY CAN COEXIST
WITH SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS,
BECAUSE THEY FOCUS ON THE
INDIVIDUAL AS OPPOSED TO LAWS
THAT FOCUS ON THE WEAPON LIKE
TRYING TO BAN AIR FIFTEENS OR
RESTRICT WHO CAN GET THEM.
SO THIS IS AN AREA WHERE PEOPLE
CAN COME TOGETHER AND MAKE A
REAL DIFFERENCE.
THE PEOPLE WE NEED TO FOCUS ON
ARE THAT TERRIBLE SMALL NUMBER
OF INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE
COMPLETELY CAPTURED BY THEIR
HATE OR THEIR MENTAL ILLNESS, OR
BOTH.
AND IT REQUIRES PEOPLE OF GOOD
FAITH TO STEP FORWARD.
AND NOT JUST TO PROTECT SOCIETY.
TO PROTECT THEIR OWN FAMILIES,
TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS.
EVEN TO PROTECT A SHOOTER THAT
IS MENTALLY UNFIT TO HAVE A
WEAPON.
>> FOX NEWS IN A RECENT POLL
ASKED THAT QUESTION, LET’S PUT
IT UP ON THE SCREEN OR AT
FOX NEWS POLL, WHICH IS MORE
LIKELY TO DECREASE GUN VIOLENCE?
TOUGHER GUN CRIME PENALTIES,
54%.
TOUGHER GUN RESTRICTIONS, 33%.
WE HAVE AT THE SAME TIME A
DUALITY OF PROBLEMS HERE.
WE’VE GOT LIBERAL PROSECUTORS
WHO ARE DOWNGRADING GUN CRIMES. AND ROBBERY ONE DAY COULD LEARN
AND ROBBERY ONE DAY COULD LEARN
TO A MASS SHOOTING.
AND THEN AT THE SAME TIME,
INSTEAD OF GUN CONTROL, WHAT
ABOUT CONTROLLING PEOPLE WHO
WERE MENTALLY UNSTABLE?
AND ALLOWING THEM TO DO FIREARMS
FIREARMS.
LET THEM HAVE A FIREARM.
>> WE HAVE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS
OF LAWFUL GUN OWNERS IN THIS
COUNTRY.
AND WE DON’T HAVE A HIGH
PERCENTAGE OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS
COMMITTING CRIMES, CERTAINLY NOT
MASSACRES.
SO WE ARE LOOKING AT A VERY IT,
THANKFULLY, SMALL GROUP OF
UNBALANCED INDIVIDUALS.
BUT THE FOCUS ON THE WEAPONS
THEMSELVES IN MANY WAYS IS
MISLEADING.
AND YOU HAVE POLITICIANS THAT
SAY, WE HAVE GOT TO CONTROL GUN
CRIME.
I’M GOING TO START BANNING GUNS
AGAIN.
THOSE HAVE BEEN STRUCK DOWN IN A
COURT, AND THEY ARE NOT GOING TO
MEANINGFULLY REDUCE GUN CRIMES.
YOU HAVE TO FOCUS ON THOSE
PEOPLE WHO ARE COMMITTING THESE
OFFENSES.
THAT INCLUDES THE MENTALLY
UNSTABLE, BUT ALSO RECIDIVISTS,
HABITUAL DEFENDERS WHO USE THIS
WEAPON.
HERE IS WHERE YOU CAN MAKE A
