Yesterday morning at 9 30, people paused to remember the loss. They held a moment of silence and in the town Church Bells Rang 26 times. The National Rifle association is finally speaking out on the pass ker in newtown, but the group isnt addressing the idea of banning or limiting guns used to kill the students and teachers at sandy hook elementary.

President obama and communities all over america paused in a moment of silence. President obama is calling for a ban on assault weapons. Today, the nra offered a rather different solution. Publicly breaking the silence. The silence for the First Time Since the massacre, the nra proposed a sweeping plan to have armed guards at every school in the nation. The truth is our society is populated by an unknown number of genuine monsters. People that are so deranged, so evil, so possessed by voices and driven by demons that no sane person can ever possibly comprehend them. They walk among us every single day.

Communications remained open. Both sides of the fiscal cliff negotiations are much closer than you may think despite what law makes say publicly. Jackie calms of the New York Times picked up on something that lawmaker tim cole said recently. The republicans should just declare victory and taking the 98 of the tax cuts that they agree on and work next year on tax reform and see if they cant get the top rate back down again. Its hard to think that thats not where theyre going to end up so why not make it clean instead of ugly. I think its true that many people are saying privatery what tom cole said publicly on the show. But they believe that the politically right thing to do right now is to cut that you are losses, let tax rates go up for the most wealthy and really try for significant tax reform so that 39. 6 is going to be mute. So the good news is that negotiations do continue, there was a meeting today between president obama and House Speaker john boehner. That happened at the whit

Arm teachers and clergymen and nurses. There should be an equal amount of firepower that the teacher would have. Can any good come of all this . One tragedy 16 years ago that continues to save lives. The idea that because the problem is guns, the answer is guns is simply ridiculous. Also, a man who knows a thing or two about guns talks about his new movie and its not about what you think.
