This transcript is automatically generated

I don't love guns I don't necessarily like guns -- a city girl.

More comfortable in high heels -- boats.

And although I had a pet pig for twenty years that's Wilbur -- there and worked in -- dairy as a kid.

I own guns.

Long guns handguns.

I own guns because it's my right.

It's not a right anyone in Washington gave me it's a natural right confirmed by the very people who founded this nation.

It's a right that no one is going to take away from me.

Hello and welcome to justice -- judge Janine -- This week the debate continues the rhetoric more heated.

As parents a new town testify about innocent children taken from them.

As sheriffs across this country threatened the arrested any federal agent who would enforce unconstitutional.

Gun laws.

As police -- support the ban on assault rifles politicians threatened gun manufacturers.

And the very banks that fund them.

And his gun association -- to protect their guns the cacophony of voices louder and louder.

-- times drowning out.

The very issue upon which we all agree.

Stopping this senseless slaughter of innocents.

The president wants to ban assault rifles he wants to limit high capacity magazines.

Do background checks and close gun show loopholes.

The truth.

Banning weapons to prevent crime doesn't work.

Nowhere is that point more evident Mr.

President that in your hometown Chicago.

We're in spite of the ban on handguns more people were murdered in the last decade than the number of Americans killed in Afghanistan.

-- Afghanistan is a war zone.

Last month in your home city -- one of the toughest gun laws in the nation.

42 people including that fifteen year old major -- who performed at your inauguration.

Were murdered.

End of the 4265.

Murdered in Chicago.

In the last decade.

Less than 1%.

Of them were killed with a long gone.

So I guess that handgun ban isn't working out so well.

The bottom line criminals.

Get guns.

Law abiding citizens get killed.

Why would you give the criminals an advantage over on armed citizenry.

Hell why not just post the map like the journal -- dead and identify where people without guns -- And Rama Manuel.

Another member of that Chicago outfit as though -- spot.

To threaten banks could find the gun industry jobs and then directed pensions being divested all of their money in this industry.

You say that Chicago.

Is leading the effort to keep communities safe.

Rom Emanuel what standing do you have to lead any anti gun initiative.

You're Sydney is the murder capital of America.

Leading the way where you don't believe them to.

You want to stop law abiding citizens from owning guns.

While at the same time the Obama administration was sending free assault rifles of the Mexican drug cartels that they -- used to kill us.

And here in New York.

Mandatory jail time if you're arrested with a loaded gun.

Loaded illegal gun sounds good.

The problem.

Fewer than half of those arrested for illegal possession of loaded handguns even received a state prison sentence.

Mandatory or right.

Unless the judge doesn't think they are you could drive an eighteen Wheeler through that old interest of justice excuse to not -- someone.

And now the president wants to have a dialogue on mental ailments.

We know the Virginia Tech shooter the Colorado movie -- shooter that Gabby Giffords shooter.

Each had serious mental problems or were declared to be dangerous.

Even in -- shooter who would play video games violent video day games for days on end -- mental problems.

But it's interesting that the president mentioned nothing about violent images and video games.

So if we -- assault rifles.

Then shouldn't we banned the images of assault rifles in movies and video games.

What's that you say.

The First Amendment protects free speech.

Of course it does and the Second Amendment protects my right to bear arms.

Neither trumps the other.

And by the way.

What's with this proposed mental illness database who should be -- -- the mentally ill the mentally defective.

Those with a criminal record those likely to engage in crime those involuntarily committed the ones on psychotropic drugs.

Here's one for him.

Many states don't even report felony convictions.

To the federal land CIS database let alone report mental health data.

And all I want to forget -- up our healthcare system is so locked down my own mother is doctor won't even tell me how she's doing.

So what do we do.

-- time.

We need to prosecute gun crimes we need to confined to dangerously mentally ill where there shooting people killing them killing them with cars.

Are pushing them on to subway tracks.

I have fought for civil confinement of the dangerously mentally ill.

Now I didn't say mentally -- I didn't say homeless.

The Supreme Court of the United States has said that civil confinement of the dangerously mentally ill is constitutional.

Kansas vs Hendrix go look it up.

I've been in the trenches for decades I've seen what criminals can do.

The pain of those affected by those massacres is palpable to all of us.

But law abiding gun owners did not pull those traders.

The founding fathers were forward thinking enough to say we have the right to bear arms they didn't say a mosque at or a rifle with a bayonet.

They said arms.

I have a natural.

God given right.

I don't have to explain whether -- hunting deer or defending myself.

-- should say that I can only defend myself.

With a certain number of bullets.

Should I -- might clip and just wait for the end.

I have the right to protect my family and myself.

I don't love guns.

But one day I know I may need them.
