    ACCOUNTABILITY LIKE THIS
  • 00:00:02
    ULTIMATELY BE A DETERRENT IN
  • 00:00:03
    MASS SHOOTINGS HERE AT THE
  • 00:00:05
    TABLE WITH US IN NEW YORK LAST
  • 00:00:07
    NIGHT ON THIS VERY SHOW,
  • 00:00:08
    SITTING RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE
  • 00:00:10
    LAST NIGHT, MONTEL WILLIAMS,
  • 00:00:12
    WITHOUT KNOWING ANY OF THIS,
  • 00:00:13
    WITHOUT KNOWING THAT THIS
  • 00:00:15
    WEAPON WASN'T JUST IN THE
  • 00:00:17
    HOUSE, BUT IT WAS GIVEN TO THIS
  • 00:00:19
    KID. THIS IS WHAT HE SAID SURE.
  • 00:00:23
    >> HOLD THESE PARENTS
  • 00:00:24
    ACCOUNTABLE. LET'S START
  • 00:00:25
    LOCKING THOSE PARENTS UP BY 15,
  • 00:00:28
    20 YEARS. THEN WE'RE GOING TO
  • 00:00:29
    START SEEING AT LEAST
  • 00:00:32
    RESPONSIBILITY AND THE GUN
  • 00:00:32
    OWNERSHIP WORLD THAT IS THE
  • 00:00:36
    QUESTION. TONIGHT. FOUR COUNTS,
  • 00:00:39
    NOT NOT YOU KNOW MANSLAUGHTER
  • 00:00:42
    HE NEEDS NOT JUST MANSLAUGHTER
  • 00:00:44
    BECAUSE HE'S FACING FOUR
  • 00:00:45
    INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER, BUT
  • 00:00:46
    HE'S ALSO CHASING FACING
  • 00:00:48
    MURDER CHARGES STRAIGHT UP
  • 00:00:49
    MURDER CHARGES WILL THIS MAKE A
  • 00:00:51
    DIFFERENCE?
  • 00:00:53
    >> I MEAN, TO BE HONEST, IT
  • 00:00:56
    DOES IN SOME WAYS AND LET ME
  • 00:00:59
    JUST I DON'T HAVE KIDS. RIGHT.
  • 00:01:00
    OKAY. AND I'M NOT SAYING THAT
  • 00:01:02
    YOU HAVEN'T KIDS ARE NOT HAVING
  • 00:01:03
    KIDS MEANS THAT YOU CAN'T BE A
  • 00:01:04
    PART OF THIS CONVERSATION. BUT
  • 00:01:05
    THE PART THAT I WORRY ABOUT THE
  • 00:01:06
    MOST IS WHETHER OR NOT IT'S A
  • 00:01:09
    SLIPPERY SLOPE, I THINK IN THIS
  • 00:01:10
    CASE, THE CHARGES ARE FAIR
  • 00:01:11
    BECAUSE EVEN IF THIS WAS THE
  • 00:01:14
    MOST RESPONSIBLE CHILD OF ALL
  • 00:01:15
    TIME WHY WOULD BUYING A
  • 00:01:17
    MILITARY STYLE WEAPON BE A GOOD
  • 00:01:20
    IDEA TO PUT IN THE HANDS OF A
  • 00:01:21
    14-YEAR-OLD, ANY 40. OKAY. IF
  • 00:01:23
    THEY GOT STRAIGHT A'S, I DON'T
  • 00:01:24
    CARE IF THEY COME HOMO TAB THEY
  • 00:01:26
    VEGGIES SAY THEY PRAYERS. IT
  • 00:01:27
    DOESN'T MATTER. THAT IS NOT
  • 00:01:28
    THE TYPE OF WEAPON THAT BELONG
  • 00:01:30
    IN THAT BELONGS IN AT CHILD'S
  • 00:01:31
    HANDS? BUT I DO THINK THAT I
  • 00:01:35
    THINK ABOUT HOW POTENTIALLY
  • 00:01:37
    SOMETHING LIKE THIS COULD BE
  • 00:01:39
    WEAPONIZED AGAINST THE MOST
  • 00:01:40
    VULNERABLE PARENTS AND THAT'S
  • 00:01:42
    WHERE I GET A LITTLE BIT
  • 00:01:43
    CONCERNED, BUT I THINK IN CASES
  • 00:01:44
    OF OBVIOUS NEGLECT WITH THIS,
  • 00:01:46
    WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN THE CASE
  • 00:01:47
    OF MICHIGAN WITH THE CRUMBLEYS
  • 00:01:48
    AND THE SCHOOL SHOOTING THERE
  • 00:01:50
    YES, THAT MAKES SENSE. WHEN YOU
  • 00:01:51
    ARE KNOWINGLY PUTTING THE
  • 00:01:54
    SELF-DESTRUCTIVE THINGS IN THE
  • 00:01:55
    HANDS OF CHILDREN AND YOU KNOW,
  • 00:01:56
    THEY HAVE PROBLEMS AS A PARENT,
  • 00:01:58
    YOU HAVE TO ANSWER TO THAT.
  • 00:01:59
    I'M JUST NOT SURE IF THE
  • 00:02:01
    BLANKET ANSWER IS ALL PARENTS
  • 00:02:03
    NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT
  • 00:02:06
    THEIR CHILDREN DO KNOWINGLY
  • 00:02:07
    PART IS THE KEY PART HERE
  • 00:02:09
    BECAUSE THE POLICE CAME TO THIS
  • 00:02:11
    FAMILY AND SAID WE REPORTS THAT
  • 00:02:15
    YOUR SON MIGHT BE PLOTTING AN
  • 00:02:18
    ATTACK ON A SCHOOL ATTACKED
  • 00:02:20
    BASICALLY LIKE THE ONE THAT
  • 00:02:21
    HAPPENED. AND THEN MONTHS
  • 00:02:23
    LATER, YOU GO OUT AND YOU BUY A
  • 00:02:23
    WEAPON I PUT MY KIDS ON THE BUS
  • 00:02:26
    TODAY WAS THE FIRST DAY OF
  • 00:02:27
    SCHOOL AND I WAS THINKING TO
  • 00:02:28
    MYSELF, I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR
  • 00:02:30
    EVERY ASPECT OF THEIR LIVES.
  • 00:02:31
    >> I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR HOW MY
  • 00:02:32
    KINDERGARTENER IS GOING TO
  • 00:02:33
    BEHAVE IN CLASS TODAY, RIGHT?
  • 00:02:34
    I'M HOPING THESE NICE TO THE
  • 00:02:36
    FELLOW KIDS. I'M HOPING THAT
  • 00:02:38
    HE BEHAVES. I'M HOPING IS ON A
  • 00:02:40
    BULLY. IF I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR
  • 00:02:41
    THAT, THEN OF COURSE I'M
  • 00:02:42
    RESPONSIBLE FOR SOMETHING LIKE
  • 00:02:43
    THIS AND WHETHER THAT ENDS AT
  • 00:02:46
    17 OR 18, OR 19, THERE'S
  • 00:02:47
    INTERESTING DISCUSSIONS TO HAVE
  • 00:02:48
    ABOUT EXACTLY WHAT THE CUTOFF
  • 00:02:50
    IS. BUT FOR A 14-YEAR-OLD IT
  • 00:02:53
    SEEMS PRETTY CLEAR.
  • 00:02:54
    >> I MEAN, LOOK, I I JUST
  • 00:02:55
    WONDER TO JAMIL'S POINT IN
  • 00:02:56
    TERMS OF CULPABILITY, DOES IT
  • 00:02:58
    STOP? BEGIN END WITH THE
  • 00:02:59
    PARENTS. WHAT ABOUT THE FBI
  • 00:03:01
    VISITED THE PARENTS? COULD THEY
  • 00:03:02
    HAVE DONE MORE? WHAT ABOUT THE
  • 00:03:04
    SCHOOL'S OBLIGATION TO PROTECT
  • 00:03:06
    OTHER STUDENTS SHOULD THEY HAVE
  • 00:03:07
    DONE MORE WOULD ABOUT LAW
  • 00:03:08
    ENFORCEMENT? I MEAN, THERE ARE
  • 00:03:09
    SO MANY QUESTIONS HERE, ABBY
  • 00:03:11
    AND I GET MANTEL'S POINT, BUT
  • 00:03:13
    THERE ARE A LOT OF RESPONSIBLE
  • 00:03:14
    GUN OWNERS IN THIS COUNTRY.
  • 00:03:15
    I'M FROM THE SOUTH, MANY
  • 00:03:17
    PEOPLE THAT I KNOW HAVE KIDS
  • 00:03:19
    WHO ARE VERY YOUNG WHO ARE
  • 00:03:19
    COMPETITIVE SHOOTERS, PISTOLS,
  • 00:03:21
    SHOTGUNS, ARS THEY'RE
  • 00:03:23
    PERFECTLY RESPONSIBLE, BUT I
  • 00:03:24
    DON'T WANT TO DIFFERENTIATE
  • 00:03:25
    BETWEEN THE RESPONSE THAT YOU
  • 00:03:27
    CAN BE. I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND
  • 00:03:30
    WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, BUT BUT
  • 00:03:31
    BUT BUT A CHILD I DON'T KNOW
  • 00:03:33
    THAT EVEN A CHILD WHO IS MAYBE
  • 00:03:35
    YOU DO COMPETITIVE SHOOTING OR
  • 00:03:38
    HUNTING OR WHATEVER. I DON'T
  • 00:03:40
    KNOW THAT YOU COULD SAY THAT
  • 00:03:41
    CHILD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT
  • 00:03:42
    HE DO WITH THAT WEAPON ERROR
  • 00:03:46
    SCENARIOS.
  • 00:03:46
    >> IT'S A CONTROLLED SCENARIO,
  • 00:03:47
    RIGHT? SO I WANT I WANT CLARITY
  • 00:03:49
    THERE. BUT I'M JUST SIMPLY
  • 00:03:50
    SAYING I JUST DON'T WANT TO
  • 00:03:51
    DEMONIZE EVERY SINGLE PERSON
  • 00:03:54
    WITH AN AR 15 OR WHAT GUNS
  • 00:03:55
    GENERALLY SPEAKING. BUT AGAIN,
  • 00:03:56
    BACK TO MY ORIGINAL POINT IN
  • 00:03:57
    TERMS OF CULPABILITY, WHERE
  • 00:03:58
    DOES IT BEGIN? WHERE DOES IT
  • 00:04:00
    END? AND COULD THE OTHER
  • 00:04:01
    ENTITIES INVOLVED IN THIS
  • 00:04:02
    PROCESS, SHOULD THEY? THEY HAVE
  • 00:04:03
    DONE MORE AND I DON'T THINK WE
  • 00:04:04
    HAVE AN ANSWER TO THAT.
  • 00:04:05
    >> I THINK THAT THAT'S A
  • 00:04:06
    REALLY FAIR POINT. IT'S WHERE
  • 00:04:07
    DOES THE CULPABILITY LIE AND
  • 00:04:09
    WHERE IS THE STRUCTURE FOR IT?
  • 00:04:10
    BECAUSE THERE HAD BEEN STATES
  • 00:04:11
    THAT HAVE BEGUN TO PASS SOME
  • 00:04:12
    LEGISLATION ABOUT PARENTS BEING
  • 00:04:13
    MORE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR
  • 00:04:15
    CHILDREN'S ACTIONS. AND I
  • 00:04:16
    THINK TO YOUR POINT AS WELL,
  • 00:04:17
    WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS THAT
  • 00:04:19
    THOSE MOST VULNERABLE MY ALSO
  • 00:04:20
    GET CAUGHT UP IN THIS THERE.
  • 00:04:21
    I'M SURE THERE ARE PLENTY OF
  • 00:04:23
    PARENTS OUT THERE WHO HAVE BEEN
  • 00:04:24
    SOUNDING THE ALARM, BEGGING FOR
  • 00:04:26
    HELP WITH THEIR CHILDREN AND
  • 00:04:27
    JUST NOT ABLE TO ACCESS
  • 00:04:28
    RESOURCES TO BE ABLE TO GET
  • 00:04:29
    THEIR CHILDREN ON THE RIGHT
  • 00:04:30
    PATH. MY CONCERN AS WELL WOULD
  • 00:04:32
    BE IS YES, BEARS WILL BE A
  • 00:04:34
    PAPER TRAIL YOUR RECORD.
  • 00:04:37
    >> HOWEVER, THIS LEGISLATION IS
  • 00:04:38
    WRITTEN BECAUSE I'M SURE MANY
  • 00:04:39
    THESE STATES WILL BEGIN LOOKING
  • 00:04:39
    AT THIS MORE AGGRESSIVELY NOW,
  • 00:04:41
    IS THAT YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO
  • 00:04:44
    SET THOSE STANDARDS FOR
  • 00:04:45
    PARENTS. IS IT DOES IT START
  • 00:04:46
    WITH YOUR CHILD, BEAT UP
  • 00:04:47
    SOMEONE AT SCHOOL. SO NOW
  • 00:04:48
    YOU'RE RELIABLE FOR THE
  • 00:04:49
    VIOLENT ACT OR FOR VIOLENT ACTS
  • 00:04:51
    LIKE, WHERE ARE THESE LINES AND
  • 00:04:53
    THESE GRAVES? THESE ARE ALWAYS
  • 00:04:54
    THE TOUGHEST THINGS TO
  • 00:04:57
    MILITARIES WILL DECIDE THAT'S
  • 00:04:58
    WHAT WORKED IN THE CRUMBLEY
  • 00:04:59
    CASE. BUT THE JURIES. DO YOU DO
  • 00:05:03
    YOU STILL GOING UP TO BLACK
  • 00:05:03
    MOTHERS WHO HAVE YOUNG SONS WHO
  • 00:05:05
    MAY FIND THEMSELVES IN TROUBLE
  • 00:05:06
    IN THE STREET, DO PROSECUTORS,
  • 00:05:08
    MOSTLY WHITE, ARE GOING AFTER
  • 00:05:09
    THEM BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE A
  • 00:05:11
    PROBLEM WITH IT. NOW, WHERE
  • 00:05:12
    THIS PARTY LIVED THROUGH THAT,
  • 00:05:13
    WHEN BLACK FAMILIES WERE
  • 00:05:15
    PROSECUTED UNDER THE NOTION OF
  • 00:05:16
    THE DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY.
  • 00:05:18
    >> SO WE'VE SEEN THAT HAPPEN
  • 00:05:19
    AND IT DOESN'T WORK IN EFFECT.
  • 00:05:19
    THEY'VE WAY I DON'T THINK WE
  • 00:05:20
    CAN TALK ABOUT THIS IN AN
  • 00:05:21
    ISOLATED SOLUTION. I'M A FORMER
  • 00:05:23
    TEACHER. IF I KNEW AND I TAUGHT
  • 00:05:25
    SPECIAL EDUCATION AND I HAD
  • 00:05:27
    CHILDREN THAT WERE EMOTIONALLY
  • 00:05:28
    DISTURBED. AND IF I HAD KNOWN
  • 00:05:30
    THAT ONE OF MY PARENTS BOUGHT
  • 00:05:31
    ONE OF MY CHILDREN GUN AND I
  • 00:05:33
    CALL THEM MY CHILDREN BECAUSE
  • 00:05:35
    THEY WERE MY STUDENTS. I WOULD
  • 00:05:37
    BE TERRIFIED. I WILL BE CALLING
  • 00:05:39
    SO TO EVEN KNOW THAT THEY'D
  • 00:05:40
    NOBODY KNEW THAT. BUT FOR A
  • 00:05:42
    PARENT TO DO THAT FOR A CHILD
  • 00:05:43
    THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN BROUGHT
  • 00:05:45
    SAYING THAT IF YOU LISTEN TO
  • 00:05:47
    THE AUDIO, THE FATHER SAYS,
  • 00:05:47
    I'M OFF TO KNOW THAT MY SON
  • 00:05:50
    WAS TALKING ABOUT A SCHOOL
  • 00:05:52
    SHOOTING. SO IF YOU'RE OFF TO
  • 00:05:53
    KNOW THAT YOUR SON IS TALKING
  • 00:05:55
    ABOUT A SCHOOL SHOOTING. I'M
  • 00:05:56
    OFF THAT YOU BOUGHT HIM THE GUN
  • 00:05:57
    THE PARENTS NOW HAVE WE HAVE
  • 00:05:59
    PARENTS WHO WILL NEVER SEE
  • 00:06:00
    THEIR CHILDREN. AGAIN, WE HAVE
  • 00:06:01
    A WHOLE 2000 STUDENTS WHO WERE
  • 00:06:04
    TRAUMATIZED PROBABLY FOR THE
  • 00:06:05
    REST OF THEIR LIVES WITH PTSD.
  • 00:06:07
    IF YOU LISTEN TO THE STUDENTS
  • 00:06:08
    THAT MANY OF OUR ANCHORS WERE
  • 00:06:09
    IN REPORTERS WERE INTERVIEWING,
  • 00:06:09
    THEY WERE TREMBLING WITH FEAR,
  • 00:06:11
    JUST HAVING TO RELIVE THAT. BUT
  • 00:06:14
    I DON'T THINK IT'S JUST ABOUT
  • 00:06:15
    THE PARENTS BEING RESPONSIBLE.
  • 00:06:16
    I THINK THAT THIS INSTANCES THE
  • 00:06:18
    RIGHT CASE, AND I THINK THE
  • 00:06:19
    CRUMBLEY CASE WAS THE RIGHT
  • 00:06:20
    DECISION. WHY DID THEY HAVE AN
  • 00:06:23
    AR 15? AND THIS GOES BACK TO
  • 00:06:24
    WHY DON'T WE HAVE MORE MENTAL
  • 00:06:26
    HEALTH SERVICES. WE ALWAYS WANT
  • 00:06:27
    TO GO TO A ONE-SHOT SOLUTION
  • 00:06:30
    VERSUS WHAT USING THE WORD
  • 00:06:31
    POORLY. BUT A ONE STOP SOLUTION
  • 00:06:32
    WHEN WE KNOW THAT THESE ISSUES
  • 00:06:34
    ARE MORE COMPLICATED. AND I
  • 00:06:36
    JUST I'VE BEEN THINKING A LOT
  • 00:06:38
    ABOUT LIKE, WHAT WOULD I DO IF
  • 00:06:39
    I WAS ALIVE 50 YEARS AGO. BUT I
  • 00:06:41
    ALSO THINK LIKE, WHAT WILL
  • 00:06:42
    PEOPLE THINK ABOUT US IN 100
  • 00:06:44
    YEARS WHEN THEY SEE CHILDREN
  • 00:06:46
    YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR
  • 00:06:48
    GETTING MURDERED IN SCHOOLS AND
  • 00:06:50
    U.s. ARGUING ABOUT WHETHER OR
  • 00:06:51
    NOT WE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THE
  • 00:06:52
    WEAPONS AWAY FROM THEM. I JUST
  • 00:06:54
    I WONDER WHAT THE ANSWER, BUT I
  • 00:06:56
    WANT TO PLAY WHAT J.D. VANCE,
  • 00:06:58
    THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE, NOMINEE
  • 00:07:00
    FOR VICE PRESIDENT, SAID ABOUT
  • 00:07:02
    THIS WHEN HE WAS ASKED EARLIER
  • 00:07:03
    TONIGHT THE KAMALA HARRIS
  • 00:07:06
    ANSWER TO THIS IS TO TAKE LAW
  • 00:07:09
    ABIDING AMERICAN CITIZENS GUNS
  • 00:07:10
    AWAY FROM WHAT YOU'VE GOT SOME
  • 00:07:11
    STATES WITH VERY STRICT GUN
  • 00:07:13
    LAWS AND YOU'VE GOT SOME
  • 00:07:14
    STATES. THEY DON'T HAVE STRICT
  • 00:07:16
    GUN LAWS AT ALL. IN THE STATES
  • 00:07:18
    WAS STRICT GUN LAWS. THEY HAVE
  • 00:07:19
    A LOT OF SCHOOL SHOOTINGS. AND
  • 00:07:20
    THE STATES WITHOUT STRICT GUN
  • 00:07:21
    LAWS, SOME OF THEM HAVE SCHOOL

    SHOOTINGS TO SO CLEARLY STRICT
  • 00:07:24
    GUN LAWS IS NOT THE THING THAT
  • 00:07:25
    IS GONNA SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.
  • 00:07:31
    >> WELL, THAT'S QUITE AN
  • 00:07:32
    ANSWER AND THAT'S PROBABLY THE
  • 00:07:34
    PART OF THE GENERAL APATHY OF
  • 00:07:37
    THIS. LIKE WE HAVE BECOME THE
  • 00:07:38
    NATION OF LIGHT WHILE WE JUST
  • 00:07:39
    CAN'T DO ANYTHING, WE, YOU
  • 00:07:41
    KNOW, WE HAVE MORE GUNS TWICE
  • 00:07:43
    AS MANY GUNS AS PEOPLE HEAR.
  • 00:07:44
    THAT'S THAT'S THE REALITY OF
  • 00:07:46
    WHERE WE AREN'T TO YOUR POINT
  • 00:07:47
    IT'S, LIKE WHEN YOU THINK
  • 00:07:49
    ABOUT, IF YOU'RE IN A TIME
  • 00:07:50
    CAPSULE, WHEN YOU LOOK BACK NOW
  • 00:07:51
    AT THIS TIME AND WHAT WE WOULD
  • 00:07:53
    HAVE DONE, THE ANSWER WOULD
  • 00:07:55
    HAVE BEEN NOTHING THAT WOULD
  • 00:07:56
    JUST SPINNING THE INERTIA.
  • 00:07:57
    FIRST OF ALL, VICE PRESIDENT
  • 00:07:58
    HARRIS DIDN'T SAY SHE WANTED
  • 00:07:59
    TO TAKE ALL THE GUNS AWAY, SO
  • 00:08:00
    HE STARTED WITH A LAB RIGHT
  • 00:08:01
    AWAY AND PEOPLE THINK THE
  • 00:08:03
    SLIGHTEST BIT OF REGULATION,
  • 00:08:04
    LIKE CAN WE ALL AGREE, NOT A
  • 00:08:06
    GOOD IDEA IF YOU'RE UNDER FOR
  • 00:08:08
    18 TO HAVE AN ASSAULT RIFLE,
  • 00:08:09
    NOT A GOOD IDEA. DON'T CARE WHO
  • 00:08:10
    YOU ARE. IT IS NOT A GOOD IDEA
  • 00:08:12
    TO DO THIS. THERE ARE VERY
  • 00:08:13
    SIMPLE THINGS THAT I THINK I'D
  • 00:08:16
    LIKE TO THANK THE RATIONAL PART
  • 00:08:18
    OF OUR BRAINS WOULD SAY IT'S
  • 00:08:20
    PROBABLY NOT GOOD THAT YOU CAN
  • 00:08:21
    PURCHASE A HIGHLY POWERFUL
  • 00:08:23
    WEAPON BEFORE YOU CAN ACTUALLY
