DURING A PRESS CONFERENCE TODAY FEATURING DEMOCRATIC

MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, REPRESENTATIVE JOHN LEWIS HAD

SOME STRONG STATEMENTS IN REGARD TO GUN CONTROL AND THOSE WHO

REFUSED TO EVEN TALK ABOUT IT.

>>THERE'S NO AMOUNT OF BLOOD OR PAIN OR DEATH OR SUFFERING THAT

WILL MOVE THIS CONGRESS TO ACT.

WE HOLD MOMENTS OF SILENCE, WE

OFFER OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS, BUT IT'S ALL A SHOW, A

PLACEHOLDER, UNTIL PEOPLE FORGET AND AS CONGRESS WE MOVE ON TO

ROLLING BACK RESTRICTIONS ON SILENCERS OR MAKING IT EASIER

FOR THE MENTALLY ILL TO PURCHASE WEAPONS.

DON'T TELL ME

OTHERWISE, I'VE BEEN AROUND TOO LONG.

>>THIS CONGRESS DOES NOTHING.

DON'T TELL ME, DON'T TELL ME WE

NEED MENTAL HEALTH REFORM WHEN YOU WON'T PROVIDE EVERY AMERICAN

ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH CARE.

DON'T TELL ME IT'S ABOUT

PROTECTING THE SECOND AMENDMENT WHEN YOU WON'T STAND UP FOR THE

FIRST AMENDMENT.

DON'T TELL ME THIS IS ABOUT ANYTHING OTHER

THAN GREED, GREED, MONEY, AND FEAR.

I SAY TO EACH ONE OF US,

TO ALL OF THE MEMBERS OF THE CONGRESS, HAVE COURAGE.

BE

UNAFRAID.

DO YOUR JOB.

BRING COMMON SENSE GUN CONTROL

LEGISLATION TO A VOTE.

WE NEED IT, AND WE NEED IT NOW.

>>I LOVE THE FIERY SPEECH FROM REPRESENTATIVE JOHN LEWIS.

HE IS

HONESTLY THE STRONGEST MEMBER OF CONGRESS WITH HIS SPEAKING

STYLE, AND JUST HOW AGGRESSIVE HE IS AND DEMANDING SOME CHANGE

FOLLOWING THIS MASS SHOOTING.

ALSO --

>>I FEEL LIKE THIS IS AS COMMONSENSE AS YOU CAN POSSIBLY

GET WHEN IT COMES TO GUN LEGISLATION.

YOU CAN PURCHASE

THAT PRODUCT ONLINE FOR $45, AND OBVIOUSLY IT ALLOWED PADDOCK TO

CAUSE MUCH MORE DAMAGE THAN HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CARRY

OUT. AND EVEN THOUGH THAT'S COMMON SENSE THERE IS A LOT OF

RESISTANCE FROM REPUBLICAN NUMBERS OF CONGRESS, AND WE WILL

GET A COUPLE OF THEIR STATEMENTS IN JUST A SECOND.

>>PEOPLE LOVE TO CHERRY PICK.

YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE TYPE

OF WEAPONRY, WE LOVE TO FORGET THAT WHEN THE SECOND MEMO WAS

WRITTEN IT WAS BACK WHEN IT TOOK MAYBE 20 MINUTES TO LOAD YOUR

GUN, AND WHEN YOU HIT SOMEBODY WITH IT THEY SAID OW AND HAD A

BRUISE.

WE'VE ADVANCED A LOT FROM THEIR, AND THESE TYPES OF

WEAPONS, THESE MAGAZINES, THESE SEMI-AUTOMATICS, THEY ARE

NECESSARY TO PROTECT YOUR HOME FROM A POTENTIAL BURGLAR.

THEY

ARE CERTAINLY NOT NECESSARY TO HUNT DEER.

SO THERE'S NO REASON

WHY CITIZENS SHOULD JUST BE ABLE TO GET THEM.

>>YOU KNOW, SOME GUYS, THEY GET THEIR ROCKS OFF BY HAVING THESE

FANCY WEAPONS.

THEY GO SHOOTING WITH IT, IT MAKES THEM FEEL GOOD

ABOUT THEMSELVES, AND I GUESS OUR COUNTRY HAS DECIDED THAT

THAT'S MORE VALUABLE THAN INNOCENT LIVES BEING TAKEN FROM

THESE CRAZY MASS SHOOTERS.

AND BY THE WAY THE ARGUMENT YOU

ALWAYS HEAR FROM REPUBLICANS, REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS

SPECIFICALLY, AFTER A MASS SHOOTING LIKE THIS IS THE

PROBLEM IS THE FACT THAT THESE PEOPLE CAN BUY THESE CRAZY

WEAPONS, THE PROBLEM IS MIDDLE HEALTHCARE.

WE HAVE TO PROVIDE

MIDDLE HEALTHCARE.

REALLY?

YOU WANT TO PROVIDE MENTAL HEALTH

CARE?

WE JUST FINISHED MONTHS AND MONTHS OF SENATE REPUBLICANS

TRYING TO TAKE WHATEVER LITTLE COVERAGE WE HAVE UNDER THE

AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, WHICH WOULD EVEN FURTHER MINIMIZE MENTAL

HEALTH CARE FOR AMERICANS.

YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH

CARE.

THE ONLY TIME THEY CARE ABOUT IS WHEN THEY CAN USE IT AS

A SCAPEGOAT SO WE DON'T TALK ABOUT COMMON SENSE GUN

LEGISLATION, THAT'S THE ONLY TIME THEY CARE ABOUT IT. AND BY

THE WAY HOUSE REPUBLICANS PASSED A 20 WEEK ABORTION BAN BECAUSE

THEY SAY THEY BELIEVE IN THE SINK AT THE OF LIFE.

YOU BELIEVE

IN THE SINK AT THE OF LIFE?

HOW MANY PEOPLE JUST GOT MURDERED

BECAUSE OF YOUR INACTION AND YOUR PROTECTION OF THE NRA AND

OTHER LOBBYING GROUPS AND WEAPONS MANUFACTURERS THAT SEEK

TO PROFIT?

AND THEY PROFIT OFF THIS TYPE OF CARTAGE?

IT'S

DISGUSTING.

LET'S HEAR FROM THESE DISGUSTING POLITICIANS --

>>LITTLE COULD BE ACHIEVED THROUGH LEGISLATION?

THEN GET

THE FUCK OUT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING AS LITTLE CAN BE ACHIEVED

THROUGH LEGISLATION.

YOU ARE A WASTE IN THE SENATE, THEN LEAVE

--

>>HOW ARE YOU GOING TO STAY

SAFE WHEN SOMEONE HAS

ESSENTIALLY AN AUTOMATIC WEAPON BECAUSE OF THE DEVICE HE USED,

AND IS SHOOTING AT A CROWD FROM THE 32ND FLOOR OF MANDALAY BAY.

SHOULD BE ALL STAY IN OUR HOMES AND NEVER LEAVE SO WE STAY SAFE?

BECAUSE YOU KNOW, LEGISLATION WILL ACHIEVE ANYTHING.

LET'S

HEAR FROM MITCH MCCONNELL --

>>IN OTHER WORDS, DON'T DISCUSS IT, AND DON'T EXPECT US TO EVER

DISCUSS IT.

>>THERE'S NEVER A GOOD TIME TO TALK ABOUT SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS

APPARENTLY WHEN YOU ARE OR REPUBLICAN LEADER.

LET US KNOW

WHEN THAT TIME IS, MITCH, AND WE WILL MEET YOU THERE.

MITCH

MCCONNELL'S IDEA OF GUN LEGISLATION IS MAKING IT EASIER

FOR THE MENTALLY ILL TO GET GUNS, MAKING IT EASIER FOR GUYS

WITH PSYCHOTIC MINDS TO CONCEAL WHAT THEY ARE DOING BY USING

SILENCERS.

>>WHAT AN EMBARRASSMENT THE AMERICAN CONGRESS IS.

>>THESE GUYS WHEN THEY GO ON, AND MITCH MCCONNELL SAYS THINGS

LIKE THAT, LEGISLATION WOULDN'T HELP ANYWAY -- THE ONION PUTS

THIS OUT EVERY TIME THERE'S A MASS SHOOTING, THEY TWEET OUT

THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN STOP THIS, SAYS THE ONLY COUNTRY IN THE

WORLD WHERE THIS STUFF HAPPENS.

I'M PARAPHRASING WHAT THEIR

HEADLINE IS BUT EVERY TIME THERE IS A MASS SHOOTING, THERE'S NO

WAY WE COULD STOP THIS -- IT'S THE ONLY COUNTRY THAT HAPPENS

IN.

THEY DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT IN AUSTRALIA, GUESS

WHAT, THEY DON'T HAVE THIS HAPPEN IN AUSTRALIA.

THAT'S A

FACT.

DOESN'T HAPPEN IN THE U.K., CANADA, AUSTRALIA, JUST IN

THE UNITED STATES.

WE ARE A SPECIAL KIND OF SICK I GUESS, OR

IS IT BECAUSE OUR GOVERNMENT IS EXTRA CORRUPTED?

I THINK IT'S THAT ONE.

>>IF REPUBLICANS BELIEVE THAT LEGISLATION IS SO USELESS, COULD

THEY PLEASE APPLY THAT SENTIMENT TO A WOMAN'S BODY TOO?

APPLY IT

TO ALL THAT, ALL SOCIAL ISSUES, EVERYTHING ELSE THAT THEY

BE CONSISTENT.

>>THEY LOVE TO APPEASE THEIR EVANGELICAL VOTERS, AND THEIR

EVANGELICAL VOTERS LOVE THE IDEA OF BEING ABLE TO CONTROL WOMEN,

THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.

AND IT'S NOT JUST CONTROLLING WOMEN,

IT'S PUNISHING WOMEN.

YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE SEX UNLESS

YOU WANT TO PROCREATE, OKAY?

AND I'M TIRED OF THEM PANDERING TO

THEIR RELIGIOUS BASE AND PASSING THESE NONSENSICAL VIOLATIONS OF

OUR REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY MAKING ARGUMENTS

THAT HEY, WE'VE GOT TO LOOSEN GUN RESTRICTIONS BECAUSE SECOND

AMENDMENT.

LET'S DEAL WITH ALL THESE MASS SHOOTINGS ON A DAILY

BASIS.

FINALLY JUST A FACTOID FOR YOU I THINK IS RELEVANT TO

THE CONVERSATION --

>>BY THE WAY, REALLY QUICKLY LET'S EMPHASIZE WHAT THEY NAMED

THIS LEGISLATION, THE HEARING PROTECTION ACT.

BECAUSE YOU

KNOW, ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO SHOOT THEIR GUNS HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE

TO PROTECT THEIR EARS IN ANY OTHER WAY, SO WE HAVE TO MAKE

SURE THEY HAVE SILENCERS.

HOW ABOUT YOUR MOST?

PEOPLE USE

THOSE HUNTING OR AT GUN RANGES, WE DON'T HAVE TO LOOSEN

RESTRICTIONS FOR SILENCERS.

I'M SORRY, I DON'T LIKE GETTING THIS

ROWDY AND LOUD ON THE SHOW, BUT --

>>I DON'T BLAME YOU.

I SEE ACTS LIKE THIS THAT ARE OUT THERE, I

SAY WE HAVE FAILING INFRASTRUCTURE, EDUCATION IS IN

THE TOILET, HEALTHCARE IS A DISASTER, LET'S TALK ABOUT

GETTING RID OF THE TAX ON SILENCERS?

THAT SHOULDN'T BE ANYWHERE NEAR THE LIST OF PRIORITIES.

>>WOW.

>>IT'S FRUSTRATING.

>>AGAIN, I WILL SAY IN HERE, WE WILL SEE IT AT THE YOUNG TURKS,

THAT IT'S BECAUSE OF CORRUPTION IN GOVERNMENT, BUT BRIAN

WILLIAMS WON'T SAY IT.

JAKE TAPPER WON'T SAY IT, RACHEL

MADDOW WON'T SAY IT.

DAVID MUIR MIGHT SAY IT IF HE UNBUTTONS ONE MORE BUTTON,

DAMN HE LOOKS GOOD --

>>THAT HAIR.

>>AND I THINK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO BE TOLD THAT,

THEY HAVE TO UNDERSTAND IT'S CORRUPTION, IT'S THAT THING THEY

WANT TO MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE, YOU

CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

WE CAN, WE CAN GET RID OF THE

CORRUPTION IN OUR GOVERNMENT.

MAYBE IF WE START LAUNCHING THAT

KIND OF IDEA INTO PEOPLE'S HEADS IT WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE

BECAUSE RIGHT NOW PEOPLE THROW THEIR HANDS UP.

JUST LIKE YOU

KNEW THE EXACT SAME CONVERSATION WOULD HAPPEN, AND IT IS.

>>LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF A LAWMAKER WHO IS PUTTING HER

HANDS UP, IT SEEMS LIKE SHE IS GIVING UP AND IT'S FRUSTRATING.

LINDA SANCHEZ OF CALIFORNIA SAYS --

>>YEAH, HOW ABOUT BE A LEADER?

DEMOCRATS, BE LEADERS.

BECAUSE

GUESS WHAT, REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS ARE NOT GOING TO WORK WITH YOU.

THEY NEVER HAVE ANY INTEREST IN WORKING WITH YOU, THEY DON'T

CARE ABOUT BIPARTISANSHIP UNDER ANY AND ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, SO BE

A LEADER.

IF I WERE A DEMOCRATIC MEMBER OF CONGRESS, I WOULD FUND

A CAMPAIGN THAT SHOWS THE BLOOD HE, GRUESOME REALITY OF THESE

MASS SHOOTINGS ON A DAILY BASIS.

THERE WAS A TIME IN AMERICA

WHERE ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL CORPORATIONS WERE THOSE BEHIND

THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY, AND IT WAS -- NO ONE THOUGHT THAT WE WOULD

DECREASE THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO WERE SMOKING CIGARETTES.

BUT

THERE WAS A VERY POWERFUL AND AGGRESSIVE EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN

OUT THERE THAT SHOWED PEOPLE REALITY OF WHAT TOBACCO WAS

DOING TO US, AND THOSE PEOPLE WERE AGGRESSIVE IN SOMETHING

THEY BELIEVED IN, AND NOW UNFORTUNATELY I FEEL LIKE WE

HAVE FEW DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS WHO FEEL STRONGLY ENOUGH TO

STAND UP AND BE LEADERS AND NOT RELY ON DEMOCRATS -- I'M SORRY,

REPUBLICANS -- PLAYING PATTY CAKES WITH THEM BECAUSE THEY

AREN'T INTERESTED IN WORKING WITH YOU.

THEY ARE TOO CORRUPT, THEY RECEIVE TOO MUCH MONEY FROM

WEAPONS MANUFACTURERS AND THE NRA, AND IF YOU ARE GOING

TO EXPECT THEM TO MAYBE ONE DAY WORK WITH YOU WE ARE NEVER

GOING TO GET ANYTHING DONE.
