Country, semiautomatic rifles. Is it a good society that does this, allows it . A country where anyone can get ahold of a rifle that can kill 26 people in ten minutes. Is this a good society . Is it really a free society when you cant be sure your kids are safe sitting at their school desks .

Will politicians who fear the gun lobby bear up under the strain of attack against any measure no matter how small to curb the power of the gun owners . The question tonight, what should and most importantly can be done to stop this kind of gun violence . And if nothing will work, say it. Go ahead, say nothing can be done. I want to hear an american elected official tonight or any night say what happened on friday in newtown, connecticut, is just part of living in the free society of america.
