speech today because you were busy in newtown? i was, when he made that statement i was at grace s funeral. and by the time i got to the second funeral of the day that i attended, little dylan hockley s funeral, people there had heard or read the statement, and the whispers through that hall of hundreds were frankly in horror. i can t speak for everybody in newtown. but i think there is a lot of shock and disgust right now in newtown, when they heard that the nra came to the table today and said that the solution for what happened to us in newtown was to have more guns on the streets. to have more guns in our schools. that we don t have enough assault weapons out there to adequately protect us. this was as revolting and as tone-deaf a statement as i have ever seen from any political entity in my short time in politics. and as you said, it ignores reality. you know, the shooting in colorado was one example. but there were plenty of guns in
