  • Summary: CLEVELAND, OHIO, UNITED STATES (MARCH 13, 2000) (NBC - NO ACCESS USA/CNN) 1. GV/MV: WIDE OF U.S. PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON AT PODIUM/ AUDIENCE (2 SHOTS) 0.10 2. CU: (SOUNDBITE) (English) CLINTON SAYING: "If we can do more things to keep guns away from criminals and children, that don't have anything to do with the legitimate right of people to go hunting or engage in sport shooting, we ought to do it and we ought not to engage in this kind of political smear tactics." 0.29 3. SV: CLINTON AT PODIUM 0.33 4. CU: (SOUNDBITE) (English) CLINTON SAYING "I'm not trying to pick a fight with anybody. I'm fighting for the lives of our kids. But I want you to see what we're up against whenever we try to change. The head of the NRA said yesterday, I'm going to quote what he said, that my support of these measures was all political and he says that 'I've come to believe that Clinton need a certain level of killing to further his political agenda -- and the vice president too.' Well, he could say that on television, I guess. I'd like to see him look into the eyes of little Kayla Rolland's mother and say that, or the parents at Columbine or Springfield, Oregon, or Jonesboro, Arkansas, or the families of those people who were shot in Memphis." 1.33 5.
