welcome back to take action is everybody david shuster here in the saturday
afternoon december fifteen for continuing our conversation with cliff
schecter we had great his own expert on a gun policy uh... and we're talking
with course about what happened in connecticut yesterday twenty seven
people killed twenty of them children
uh... left one of the things that i've heard a lot of people talked about as is
in the some technological
thing that's out there that if we can't have security in our eyes phones and and
fingerprint heidi's all sorts of devices why can't we have them on guns in other
words why can't we make sure that okay somebody's gonna own a gun
that there
the only one that can use that gun at the gun can't be stolen or the gun can't
be taken as it was yesterday by adam lands of the guns were taken from his
mother
if there had been some sort of technology that's is ok you have to have
your fingerprint in order to activate the goner for for a period of time it
feels like some of these problems would start to get sol
having that's a great quality that i work with people interested again
epidemic that's that
case whatever i'm talking about this issue it at the national rifle
positioned on the world
they have an interest in trying to block and that's what they're trying to do
and the gun lobby they will be able to buy more guns
there whatever you deliver shoot-em-up society where you feel like the guy next
to you might have a gun you have to buy a gun that's their business model
now there's marketing technology how it's going to go out for it the more
electric cars out there
it because i feel white light other area demoralized technology has been blocked
uh... where it could have improved and coke that'll be about you know there's
harken technology would have compel biography owner of a gun is
others also technology new york where the path of milk other review track
gun to my car stepping you'd know what which bullets came from which done
and and be sadly republican speaker there which form a network of that
couple people would acted
uh... from the democrat republican party blocked the back door open going to
excavate a number of this
so much technology out there right now
that can make it so that uh... there we have people kit is skill to local coming
up so we can look at your trade for a crime
uh... i you know where they come from in a variety of the things that he can
people need to sort of understand the concept here is
there's all sorts of things we can meet doing
you know that we deal with
everything else safety measures you know that we would go the way we maybe able
get rid your registration like include insurance to drive a car
uh... it would be one of the week
debt which is not to do
uh... because we've allowed people
and you know this is going to have proper reason people roper politico
where i put up the fact that this past election
you know who that was people who support of a *** victim seven senators with a
spend over a hundred thousand dollars wall
the labor lost
they spent twelve million dollars to be president obama they lost on the other
side of the according
independent pack which was run by mayor bloomberg took on a blue dog democrat in
benoit fabulous
joe baca whose remove the co-sponsor increased ordinary legislation became
part of them uh... and he was beaten by more progressive democrat to the
equation image is changing
you know if they are being exposed paul waldman
uh... who is a scholarly movie speed media matters who writes for the
american prospect is study
for uh... wpspan for american progress
it showed a very deeply claimed that they are so important election
are just not true
that that indicated that they may be different they spent their money which
is then they mostly sort
support republican incumbents
in cases where the good or that he had recovered fully clear the shadows when
they were in it
so there's no reason for people to be scared of it repairing mir
experts around washington looks on the other mexico in washington
uh... projected deficit problem that we need to call immediately you know those
kind of friend and this is this fall to metro in people eat understand that
it these problems are probable
you're never gonna stop in a completely put other countries and it dealt with
this i've been watching people to a whirl or a rope acculturation parking
australia attrition amounting to after the port arthur massacre in nineteen
ninety six
depends very strong gun control laws and they haven't had time to let that happen
to it
uh... debated again problems are solvable
s we're talking with us after firmly at radio also works with the mayor's
against gun violence cliff i want to get a reaction to something that might have
to be
said uh... regarding
why he thinks that there's a religious component to the evil that uh... hit
connecticut yesterday here is my *** to be talking about uh... one of the
components of he believes is in play
and that helps
contribute to the violence yesterday in connecticut
well you know it's an interesting thing uh... we
we ask why there's violence in our schools but we've systematically remove
gone from our schools should we be so surprised that schools would become a
place of carnage because we've made a place where we don't want to uh...
talk about
eternity
life
what what responsibility means accountability that we're not just going
to have to be accountable for the police if they can't just but one day we stand
for uh... you know a holy god in judgment
cliff i i think i get where mike huckabee was going that uh... perhaps a
more serve religion a certain kind of uh... peaceful spirited schools maybe
contributes a certain atmosphere i think i understand this point but
i disagree with that but what do you think of it
well you know i gave her this is uh... levy
bit all-purpose
conservative
you know evangelical away
pollution broad fisher
they had to have the anti-gay with american family one of the family groups
cannot twitter
except something further about always that barring all
yet he also they need to have people can call up until you have the kind of
machinery you have today
and left a color let picked up a little further uh... did england
had died in their schools as japan which in two thousand two if you got a public
holiday last night on current to people
killed by gunfire about crime
thanks to all the other places all many of whom again uh...
white like in when you look at it the dunblane after that happened in colin
and that you know one of our at the highlands are all there are people how
did you think about so you think of cheddar how would have been they have a
if they'd be put god in their schools or after they were coming massacres make a
and upbeat enough
heated debate debate beside the today rejected fame
they're gonna pack stringent gun control laws
and q uh... that they're actually going to really fun which is commit apartment
acute mental health
ought to make sure that they had a real systems are of either when people needed
to be put institutions or just taking care of people you know killed killing
ruggedly in most countries certainly in a big movement even a much better way
than we do
uh... where we're all we do incarcerate turn people the bigger criminals and
drug war
of course factored into this
you know if you get hit again you could've or become the cultural thank
you
people think you know they don't trick garden admitting medicated here at the
deadly weapons they are seriously they are because we glorify god for such a
decree them because we don't teach those black and white ink that all of
interconnected right law
i peeled cored
unification of the come out of court the laws that are passed in washington dc
how we should be candid popular culture
if you don't have the relationship but in the aim the most important thing here
that we have a culture that you don't think the answer to everything it would
have gone which comes straight from the entering box museum and work on the far
right in most cases and and and we've got a situation where we've chosen not
to pack a law that every other country that dealt with became clear that curse
had collapsed
that have nothing to do with god humor in it or not and that's cool
here that maybe the entire were people like often brian fisher come from this
sort of
oh old mail evangelical version of what we're supposed to
but we hope that you were looking at that link that you progress but there
were gay marriage
and abortion rights
in civil rights that every single other thing they've been wrong about over the
last century or
premature for the gift card
s cassettes are firmly at radio also mares against gun violence cliff we're
gonna let you go thank you so much for uh... being for the program today two
segments that hits a day and we know that you got a busy send saturday but
