It's about time someone stood up to the gun supporters in this country. How many more young people and children have to die before our government puts a stop to it? Check out this piece from the First Draft at the NY Times:
Hillary Clinton on N.R.A.’s Hold Over Republicans: ‘It Is Sickening’
 |
DAVIE, Fla. — A day
after the deadly shootings in Oregon, Hillary Rodham Clinton used a
campaign appearance here on Friday to begin an impassioned attack on the
National Rifle Association and Republican members of Congress who she
said did the group’s bidding.
“It is sickening to me,” she told a crowd of supporters packed into a gymnasium on the campus of Broward College here. “People should not have to be afraid to go to college like this one, or to a movie theater, or to Bible study. What is wrong with us that we can’t stand up to the N.R.A.?”
“It is sickening to me,” she told a crowd of supporters packed into a gymnasium on the campus of Broward College here. “People should not have to be afraid to go to college like this one, or to a movie theater, or to Bible study. What is wrong with us that we can’t stand up to the N.R.A.?”
Mrs. Clinton’s remarks
followed a similarly forceful address Thursday by President Obama,
who lamented that mass shootings like the one earlier that day at a
community college in Roseburg, Ore. — and the responses to them — have
become routine.
“We don’t just need to
pray for these people,” Mrs. Clinton said. “We need to act. It’s
infuriating: Every time there’s another massacre, the Republicans and
the N.R.A. say, ‘It’s not the time to talk about guns.’ Yes, it is. It
is time to act, but Republicans continue to refuse to do anything to
protect our communities. They put the N.R.A. ahead of American families.
