This is not a time for talk about gun control-it's the time to take action & save the lives of other children. http://reut.rs/UOuVLm
We must honor the memories of these innocent children by taking action immediately. The President can and should lead. http://reut.rs/UOuVLm
Every year there are only about 200 legally justified self-defense homicides by private citizens compared with over 30,000 gun deaths.
The 5,740 US kids were killed by guns in 2008-09 (8/day) would fill 229 classes of 25 kids each.
Among 23 populous, high-income countries, 80% of all firearm deaths occurred in the United States.
My thoughts and prayers are with the parents, families and school employees in Newtown, CT who are confronting an unspeakable tragedy.
