what you're talking about in chicago and wherever it's playing out, it is horrible, but from a public opinion standpoint, because the violent crime rate has dropped, it took guns in a lot of ways out of the public debate. so now it's these spectacular individual incidents and the growing number of them that's putting it back in the debate and i think creating that pressure again that we last saw in the early '90s. >> karen, this was mayor michael bloomberg today. please take a listen to this. >> this is not a partisan issue. this is just a bunch of people who i think are cowed by the nra, and as i said yesterday, if you think the nra has power, just remember their number one priority was to defeat barack obama. last time i checked, he's going to be inaugurated again. >> karen, we called the nra asking for a response to the newtown tragedy along with their thoughts. we spoke with a person asking for a comment or statement. we received nothing, silence. >> how shocking that cowards would hide when asked the tough questions. i think mayor bloom during is right -- >> these are the same co
