judy, after newtown, the last deadliest mass killing in this country of the dimensions we had in san bernardino this week, there was a sense of personal tragedy in the united states, a loss of the indense, the murder -- a loss of innocence and the murder of children and educators, but there wasn't a sense of wide-spread fear. since paris, i think it's fair to say, politically, the democrats have been tone-deaf. they have not responded, in a sense. it's interesting because hillary clinton, perhaps the most credentialed of the national candidates in this whole area, she did respond by calling this an act of terrorism even before the f.b.i. did. but the response -- and i agree totally on guns. it's an outrage indefensible for those in the senate yesterday saying how far we've gom com from newtown, not a siege vote changed. democrats voted for it in 2013 exactly the same. >> woodruff: for gun control. for background checks for people buying guns. favored by nine out of ten americans and by joe manhcin, a democrat from west virginia, got a grand total of four republicans to vote for it. j
