The dad who testified the other day; the parents who sat down with Rachel...I don't know where they get their strength and grace.

I also don't know why this issue is so difficult to reach any kind of consensus on, let alone solve. If 20 dead first-graders aren't enough to wake this country up, then I really don't care to know what will.

Mr. Wheeler is absolutely correct: Your right to own a weapon does not override my child's right to his life.
