CHRIS CUOMO (HOST): And here's the frustration on that level, David Gregory, you would think that whatever they were going to do would be tailored to what this community, this country just suffered through here in Orlando, however, the idea of no fly, no buy or, what they're saying now which is more simplistic, terrorists shouldn't have guns, as if somebody were advocating that terrorists should have guns, is that this murderer would not have been on any list, was not on any list. The FBI and their sources, our sources with them are saying, “we need something else, which is some of the thousands of people that we have in our databases that we've had contact with that then go to buy guns, we should be able to flag those applications.” That that's even more remote. That's even more distant from the current reality. How realistic that a change anything like that happens? 

DAVID GREGORY: I think it's very difficult because exactly that point is what's at the core of the debate which is even if you're off the list, what Senator Feinsten of California is suggesting is for five years from the time you've been on a terror watch list, you should be flagged or not able to buy a gun. The NRA has said in the past they would only support not just barring gun sales from somebody that's on the list, but you'd have to be a federal prosecutor who goes in within three days of that sale and make a case for probable cause to deny such a sale. So there's kind of a blanket coverage that's being suggested that I think is going to be very difficult to pull off. The X factor here is Donald Trump. Is he going to buck -- as the head of the Republican Party, even though it's now very divided, is he going to buck the NRA and try to ram something through, and what impact might that have? 

CUOMO: You know, also -- that's exactly the right term, thank you very much David. So, Errol, Trump says, “look, I know how to do deals, I know how to negotiate, I'll talk to the NRA, they love me.” They don't even wait for the meeting. They put out a tweet immediately, in Trump-esque fashion, and then a statement saying, “yeah, we'll meet with anybody you want. Our position will never change. We believe terrorists shouldn't have weapons.” Again, I find that to be such an insulting supposition, like anybody thinks that that's a strong position, like they go, “I don't know, I might be in favor of having terrorists having weapons,” that's how silly our dialogue is on this issue, and they say, “we are where we are,” so forget them. What does this mean for Trump, in terms of his dynamic in the state of play within the GOP? He reaches out to the NRA they, “say we're not going to change.” He's got the leaders coming at him, he says, “be quiet.”
