>>catherine: ofriday's tragic shooting in connecticut is re-igniting the debate over gun control in america. what prominent lawmakers are saying. and a local expert weighs in on the effort to prevent future tragedies - by tracking warning signs. >> we had rainfall in the bay area. just trace amounts in livermore with more wet weather, the futurecast coming up after the break.

>>catherine: andnow for a

look at our top stories at eight-thirty. the funerals for 2 of the 26 shooting victims killed in a connecticut school were held today. as that was happening - school supplies were being trucked to a different school building - where classes will eventually resume. and that connecticut community is getting an outpouring of support from around the country. tonight in burlingame, dozens of people attended a vigil for the victims. and many people turned out for gun buy-back programs in both san francisco and oakland. we're learning tonight just how successful those programs turned out to be. people got 2-hundred dollars for every gun that was handed over. nearly 600 guns were turned in gun control has become a hot topic again. in the wake of the school shooting. kron 4's justine waldman has more on what politicians are saying.and what changes are likely. >>reporter: as funerals and candle light vigils take place.across the nation after the massacre at sandy hook elementary school. the debate over control has started again. president obama addressed the issue during a memorial

for the victims. police say the shooter adam lanza was armed with a semi-automatic.223 caliber assault rifle made by bushmaster and two pistols. when he killed 20 children, six staff members and his own mother. all the guns were legally owned by his mother. california senator dianne feinstein plans to introduce a ban on assault weapons.during the new session of congress. >> the purpose of this bill is to just get what blumberg's said, to get the weapons of violence off the streets. >>reporter: new york mayor michael bloomberg. stood next to people affected by gun violence. on monday.as he demanded action. (chanting) shame on nrasot

words alone cannot heal our nation, only action can do that. gun violence is a national epidemic, and a national tragedy that demands more than words. we are the only industrialized that has this problem in the whole world. the only one. and that's why we need immediate national action from the president and from congress. it should be at the top of their agenda. washington. the nra. took down its facebook page friday. after posting a thank you for its 1.7 million "likes" a texas congressman offered an opposing view. saying things might have been different if the school principal had a weapon. >> so when she heard gunfire she pulls it out, and she didn't have to lunge heroically with nothing in her hands but she takes him out, takes his head off before he can kill those precious kids. >>reporter: as the victims are remembered. the debate on gun control is not forgoten. justine waldman kron 4 news >> you may be wondering how the u-s compares to other countries when it comes to gun ownership and regulation. we found that the u-s has the highest gun ownership rate in the world with an average of 88 guns per 100 people. and even the number two country, yemen, has significantly fewer.with about 55 guns per 100

people. and the united states has, by far, the most gun-related homicides of any other developed country. in 2011, the u-s had more than 91-hundred gun-related murders.compared to japan, which had just 11. and that may have something to do with the strict regulations the japanese government has in place. first off handgun ownership in japan is illegal.even holding a handgun, let alone firing one, is illegal and can get you one to 10 years in prison. the only type of gun you can legally own is a shotgun.and the process to buy one is complicated. you have to attend an all- day class and pass a written test. you also have to pass a shooting range class. then you have to take a mental test and drug test.which the police will have on file. then you have to pass a background check. and not only do you have to lock and store your gun.you have to tell the police exactly where in your home the gun will be stored. then the police will inspect the gun once per year.and you have to re-take that class and exam every three years. >>catherine: a local psychotherapist says society is not dealing well problems of men and boys. he says it's necessary to ask the right questions in order to prevent violence. and says it's critically important to notice warning signs. >> some of these are the

conduct and behavior of the boys that we see. and men, that this engagement level of engagement--of disengagement. they will usually go without mental health and when they get treatment we also know that they are less likely to correctly diagnosed depression. we are failing "lots of fronts." >>catherine: he says the only way to turn this around is to pay attention to the unique needs of men and boys. >> in other news. last night's rain in moraga sent a tree crashing into a power pole, breaking it and causing power lines to fall into the street. pg&e crews worked more than 12 hours to restore power. thousands of customers were affected. many got their lights back on within a few hours, but dozens of others had to wait until this afternoon. >> my worry is the freezer.
