>> well, i think they're relying upon the idea that the nra and their affiliates here in the state are filing suit and hoping to take that suit all the way to the supreme court and have this law overturned. they won't be successful. we've had, you know, lots of attorneys involved in drafting this legislation. we believe that we will prevail. and if the law of the land here in illinois is in place, these weapons have been banned, you can't purchase one, you can't sell one in this state right now. we're very proud of that fact. and we are truly saving lives. so i'm pleased with where we are. obviously, you know, when these folks lose at the ballot box and they lose in the general assembly they decide they've got to go to court in order to see if they can get it overturned. they won't be successful. >> governor, of course you are the governor. you're also a very prominent face in national politics, and i want to get your reaction to our top story tonight which is the attorney general merrick garland has appointed a special counsel after classified documents more of them were found at pres

>> well, the nra said they were going to challenge this in court because they couldn't win in the legislature. frankly, the vast majority of the people of the state support an assault weapons ban. and it's a lot of political grand standing by elected republican sheriffs. you're hearing from. the truth is there's nothing for them to enforce at this point. the fact is right now we have one year for people to register the serial numbers of their assault weapons that are in existence. we have outlawed the purchase or sale of any of those weapons going forward. i think you're see ago lot of politics and we'll let the courts play it out. >> for the courts saying they -- for the sheriffs saying they're not going to enforce the ban, what do you say to them? >> well, there's no going door-to-door knocking on people's doors, asking them to see their weapons or they've registered them. that's political grand standing. they took an oath of office to enforce the law. when the law goes into effect where someone is caught with a weapon that isn't registered, they'll enforce it. we have lots of law enforceme

they're more interested in the nra point of view and less interested in the victims. and i would be happy to argue that any day of the week, whether we should care about dead school children or wounded school children versus the right to have these guns and when we get into the constitution, that debate will change significantly. >> right now we are still looking at the very most basic level a 6-year-old, a community shattered, a 6-year-old's life shatter and a family shattered and something that you very sadly are very familiar with in a eerily similar case that you had to deal with it. thank you very much. i appreciate your time. >>> we're moments away from hearing from the president biden, a big meeting in mexico city for a summit. we'll bring it to you live. or on the progressive app pretty much anywhere. like a at the coffee shop, at the park, or on the moon. just kidding. it's another coffee shshop. ♪ this rental car is so boring to drive. let's be honest. the rent-a-car industry is the definition of boring. and the reason can be found in the name itself. rent

let's never forget after sandy hook what the nra response was. they turned it into a gun sales bonanza. four days after sandy hook, i believe it was four days, wayne lapierre said for the very first time the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. that was their response to sandy hook. it is time that parents across america stop listening to bs like that and start demanding that we do more to make their kids safe and demand governor youngkin use the word "gun." be honest about the fact that this was gun violence, and we have to be better and do more to stop it. >> yeah. the whole bad guy with a gun versus good guy with a gun doesn't apply when you have a kid in diapers waving a gun around or a 6-year-old bringing a gun to school and shooting a teacher. they've apparently been marketing this new jr15 rifle, that's been in the news in recent -- i know you know about that. we're looking at a picture of that right now. you know, enough with the talking points. this is just completely out of control. fred, i know next mont

but it is true the nra and their affiliates are very powerful, but we've overcome them here in illinois. >> you have another institution here to have a look at, right, and that is a very conservative supreme court. you did have events this week where they agreed to allow a new york handgun restriction law to remain in effect but there was a note from justices alito and thomas, in effect saying that applicants should not be deterred by today's order which some read as an invitation to gun rights groups to challenge these laws. do you worry that state laws like your own will die in the supreme court? >> well, of course, we are concerned about the rightward turn, significant rightward turn of the supreme court, but the note that alito and clarence thomas put out was a note about the procedural context of this law that they left in place. we know the way they're going to vote, but i have to say we have eight states that have passed assault weapons bans. we are the ninth state. so we believe that the supreme court will take into account the fact that these are established law, have been for
