as posted by the channel

Three days after the mass shooting at the Washington Navy Yard investigations are underway into the gunman Aaron Alexis's deadly rampage that left 12 people dead. Lawmakers are questioning how Alexis maintained a security clearance at the base despite a history of violent episodes and mental illness. But there is little momentum on Capitol Hill to enact any new gun control laws. "We are at a defining point in AmericaWhat kind of society are we going to be?," asks Tom Diaz, author of "The Last GunHow Changes in the Gun Industry Are Killing Americans and What It Will Take to Stop It." Diaz is a former member of the National Rifle Association and is a gun enthusiast.
