here from colorado. their daughter jessie was one of those who lost their lives in that awful mass shooting in aurora. now, to try to transform their grief, they went to court where sometimes progress does happen when you file in court, but in this case you want to talk about a rigged game, senator? the game was rigged. a man had sold 4,000 rounds of military ammunition to this person that killed their daughter riddled her body with five bullets and he didn t even ask where it was going. not only did their case get thrown out of court, they were slapped with $200,000 in court fees because of the way that the nra gets its way in our congress and we take a back seat. he just mentioned their names, and here they are joining me from las vegas, sandy and lonnie phillips, following their daughter jessica s death in aurora, they have made it their life s mission to travel the country and make progress on gun
