    Default Father of Newtown shooting victim, live on Fox news.....

    Watching while at the gym (sorry I don't have a link). Father is obviously VERY emotional, yet still has a clue! Talking about holding parents accountable, and that stricter gun laws will do nothing, comparing Chicago's strict gun laws with the still high gun violence. Will post a link as soon as I can find one.

    Nice to hear that perspective from someone who is actually apart of the tragedy and not just on an agenda

    Here is the link. I didn't actually get to watch the whole video until now, and it was in subtitles while I was at the gym. Definite tear jerker watching this man try and keep his composure, but he's on the right track with things.

    If memory serves me right a father of a student killed at Columbine did the same type of presentation.
    Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.

    That's heart-wrenching to watch. He makes sense, is calm, and brave...and I fear he will be ignored by the legislature.

    Brave man, heart breaking to watch.

    That was very difficult to watch and I have to commend him for being reasonable after such a tragic event. I can't imagine going through that.

    Good on him to stay rational in such an emotional turmoil. That man has character.

    In the analysis following, some Julie Roginsky comes in at 6:50 starts going into wanting more gun laws and states the majority of NRA members want universal background checks....where is she getting that BS?

    I've had to pause that several times now, and distract myself, not even half way through...

    Thinking about the pain those parents are still suffering through, and thinking of my own children, tears me up inside.

    However, he's spot on. No new gun control will reduce the bad things that evil people do to each other when there is no civility in our society.
    My Feedback
    Credit TFOGGER : Liberals only want things to be "fair and just" if it benefits them.
    Credit Zundfolge: The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.
    Credit roberth: List of things Government does best; 1. Steal your money 2. Steal your time 3. Waste the money they stole from you. 4. Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."
