and our streets and streets across the country which it is action should help cut down the daily traffic in guns however unless we adopt a national restrictions gun runners will simply move to other states law enforcement authorities in west virginia for example are already concern the gun runners will next turn to the states a one gun a month law could put a real dent in the gun running business and with anyone skeptical about it we have to take a look at what happened in the state of south carolina for many years south carolina was the source of many of a hand gun purchases that found their way to the northeast region than the state adopted a one handgun among law and that's applied today very few handguns found in our region come from south carolina not that anyone and certainly not i are claiming
that at one gun a month for would be a cure all for germany as a matter fact a lot of people won dunham of sounds like one gun a month to many but one we see the violent traffic in gun purchases transportation distribution and you see guns in the hands of a ten year old son and the people who have terrible criminal records and other we have to do something to try and curtail that traffic one gun a month won't make a difference what would make it harder for gun runners in what could make a difference in the numbers of guns that are out there there is a gap i've introduced a loyal listener simon but those senators son of the law to make federal gun license dealers pay a heavier price for that they now
pay thirty dollars for a three or a license and have no tests of reliability or standards which they have to meet they can sell on from their car from their homes from the schoolyard if they want they can trap them around by the dozens in a van a magic thirty dollars for three license and not only that we have them just absolutely no background check so what i want to do there is to work at least limit the number by raising the annual three to seven hundred and fifty dollars ten dollars that tells us we may be able to reduce the number of federal license gun dealers down to maybe twenty thousand from over two hundred thousand there are both there are more federal gun license do it then there are gas stations and so we have to work on that we have to work hard on
making it likely that there'd be fury of the last forty years that is fairly easy and everyone knows that we have an uphill battle the nra still as opposed to this even this modest rational step in my view they're going to have to fight them every step of the way and i'm deeply committed to it and i'm really an ear that they can fight because when you get right down in this isn't just another public policy disputes can be a matter of life and there's a lot to consider these figures in nineteen ninety and guns kill twenty two people and grape or thirteen swing at a seven in japan japan has almost three quarters of the size of the state's ten people died from handguns in australia sixty eight in canada and over a
ten and a half thousand in the united states that is more than thirty six gun violence is a deadly cancer in our society and the longer we let that cancer spread the more innocent people well the next one from it it's taking this important step to make sure that one gun a month purchases will be the law and also it's not just a few like virginia and now i'd like to call on supporting that distinguished the new jersey state police protest in the state not going to you know start with ben i really there and the fighter thank you jack white to concerned citizens who support
gun legislation we appreciate your approach also like to introduce a detective sergeant first class robert so go and protect the festiva phil graham who can sign around her new jersey state police law enforcement sirens work very hard to provide several hours to for special projects for the new jersey state police and will forester such as operation road site and any drug interdiction programs that has successfully working to stop illegal narcotic trafficking and the state of new jersey has sought after as you well know in nineteen eighty two the new jersey state police the law confiscated over ninety one million dollars in drugs and
six million dollars in cash as a result of your portion operation roads we certainly appreciate now siler is working to keep service is safe why wanting a number of illegal guns and that's available to limit the number of illegal guns it's available for now quite frankly handguns will with the shawl and rapid fire weapons or the weapons of jewish liberals and asked three so the search was the purchase of ten dollars to one of her mouth ross coming to the local traffic of handguns that crosses state lines from coast to coast and coming years war ii's estate least a little less display of pawns is canceled all confiscated from non new jersey residents for aquarius cries of we caught one ahead of purchases is that side of
this legislation does that perhaps we can reduce the tragedies associated with little handguns perhaps through cyber well first legislation we can save some lives and at the same time this are some criminals while protecting the rights of our citizens and sports and let's get our place was orphaned personnel and services edge yes last less plaque down on the little to act online business and five revenge this is weekend
edition one the state police caesar it is nice job the serbian nation is this
your purpose your more women walking while wearing out someone who's working for any questions unless as a liberal new jersey's will we have the strongest gun laws in the country that i think the listener work a little bit farther out one hundred percent behind because and it goes beyond the borders of new jersey rock talk about nationally i think it's the first that some gun legislation actually sometimes that then the state has tried to get a piece of legislation done that when it's viewed in the context of a national responsibility these
things are easier to get guns but the odds are pretty good and there is a certain time and this factor we have an anti crime bill that we'd love to get past it's been stymied by only political machinery one of the obstacles to passing an anti crime bill is the brady bill waited five days five working days to see whether or not the person who's making that hurt the furthest is a reliable that'll work mediation or that the kinds of things that might lead ultimately to a killing that doesn't sound like a terrible burden on society and so we have to get these things in order and there is a year there is a violation of anti crime legislation like
that but this bill one of one gun a month we'll maybe included an avocado the omnibus act a crime bill or maybe later point what we're introducing a new radio diary the one now a month requires a certification from mali local police to where the individual as a resident of that a review has been made of their record and i think you know that day that there can be up to eight thirty days that during which time the investigation maybe made i don't believe that we have a specific period of time just has to be sufficient time for the race to reject any violation of the process is a violation that constitutes criminal violations can be a two year in jail or a five thousand dollars fine or both or you know i don't think so i don't think so
you know let's say the that the arctic up cases involving system but the fact is when there is a lot hey overmyer of the individuals that he says he wrote after year if you do this that's a pretty good deterrent so i think that they know it will be it might take some time but the fore structure and in place nevertheless we can stop the process and you're going to see it mark change in virginia as a result of that law being in place that we saw in the south carolina example of it is when they went from a very high failure of the next quarter very low for european experts say these expect in virginia we believe say they will have a persistent well i guess that no complaint can be registered by to that emergence by cigarette manufacturers say that we're taking the table we did with his guests
we all want because it was killing people and that we're a giddy after smoking is the man on the author's most of the airplanes because sixty thousand people a year i'm sorry sixty billion dollars a year is used in dealing with the results of the health effects of smoking and over three hundred thousand people a year die from cigarette smoke and so were saying you can't do it anymore and so it has certain to be with those gun dealers we are in a position where they're selling material system oh well there there there will be at a system for making reference to the individual's record what happens a gun dealer will be responsible for checking their
records to see if this individual has been a producer before and going back to the residence that's claimed in the apartment that the year versus user well that invaded they wouldn't but the deal in idaho would not people and it's continuing to sell and the person who's buying also makes a declaration that day this is a bit of the only purchase a maid in that month and they are immediately in violation of the law if a mexican purchase washington that's one of the things they talked to us that we didn't win the presidential level what we are as representatives of those people that have really tried hard to get kids involved in math and science over the question why save those be aggressive in getting used in effect as you already know what is it that other teachers
across this country need to learn what is it that you can jump ship i think my math test makes five five and i think when you when you're dealing with children things need to be interesting and things need to be fun and when i can work with teachers and show them that ninety five the chance that it can be fun for them to really support creativity and teachers that they go back to the questions and they say i can do this and that's what i wanted to teach someone to make it simple so they can go back and try it themselves in their questions because i know that i haven't only affected my twenty kindergartners nineteen twenty why they're in south texas and plenty more that you're in corpus christi that way that's
interesting creative at the same time it's something that we need to teach through the scientific method add water dam at the real science is fb fb
