 Today is Tuesday, January, 22nd, 2013. Another day of guns in the headlines. A lot of people think that when you go to a gun show, all you're going to see is mouth breathing, camo-wearing, red-necked, fat, old, white guys driving pickup 1 trucks and that's not ture.


A day to learn why iphones are such a popular target foresees. It's never something that cross my mind that somebody found it and didn't turn it in. And the day scientists found a new way to study the brains of football players.
"The only way you can specifically know that the protein existed in a brain was an autopsy 2 unfortunately."
I'm Barbara Hall and this is CNN radio news day.
We begin with the shooting at a community college in Texas just north of Huston. Officials say at least three people were hurt, two students and the shooter, after an argument, apparently 3 gun out of hand. A fourth person suffered a heart attack. As of this afternoon, the injured shooter was in custody 4, another was still on the lose. Witnesses told CNN affiliates 5 KPRC and KTRK, the scene was chaotic 6.
"I saw three people, just, you know, arguing and then but I didn't pay attention, I thought they were just, you know, playing around. And immediate 7 after I passed by the library I started, you know, listening to all the shoooting and when I look back, I saw, just, people running towards me.
A student ran into the bookstore, screaming there was someone with a gun, and we didn't really take it seriously, but she was crying and kind of stumbling all over herself when the, I guess the owner and the runner of the bookstore lock the doors and told her to buy a backup, we started taking it seriously and everybody kind of got bad.
You won't believe how scary it is to actually be here, and he is right outside your door, we don't know if he came inside the building or not, our building, this is very scary.
Today's event is the latest in a string of shootings and will most certainly add to the debate over gun control. Last month, killing 8 of 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown Connecticut, led Senator Dinne Feinstein to call for a new federal ban on assault weapon. The California Democrat 9 promised to introduce a bill in the senate this month and she says a similar bill will also be proposed in the House. Some states are waiting on Washington. New York and Marryland have already taken steps at gun control, but those two states are heavily Democratic. Gun rights are necessarily a partisan 10 issue, but gun restrictions 11 are a tough sell in states controlled by Republicans legislatures. Virginia is one example, as CNN's Libby Lewis reports.
Yesterday was a big day, not only in Washington where inauguration 12 festivities were happening. But in Virginia, for a completely different reason.
It's the legislature's annual lobbying day for Virginian, it's like an open house for citizens who want to share their views with lawmakers. Lobbying day, a month after Newtown has brought out Virginians who don't want gun restrictions, and it's brought out some who do. By kind of gentleman and gray man, the gun rights folks have the morning to lobby. The afternoon, guys of Virginia who want to see background checks on sales at gun shows, another kind of restrictions on guns.
"And we're going to see if I can go through." Peter Matt is here this morning. It's his third time here.
"I've been pro-gun since about 2003. I'm a libertarian, I'm a libertarian bad boy hate one who think that it will make you pro-gun. It didn't necessarily, I grew up in anti-gun family in anti-gun northern New Jersey 13. I was scared of gun for a long time."
Now he has five of his own, he also has a master degree in international relations and work history in Florida investigation 14 and data analysis. He hangs out with his friends sometimes at vegetarian 15 restaurants. Usually wearing one of his Glocks on his belt. There are some signs of diversity in the gun rights crowd, there is a young interracial couple in their 20s, but the college grades here to lobby for guns. There are number of women, last week at a planning meeting of the Virginia citizens defense 16 league. There was a guy in a business suit, a state department employee and an intelligence analyst 17 in a videographer. Bruce Jackson is on the board of directors for the Virginian citizens defense league, its motto is defending your right to defend your family.
