http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entry/jerrold-nadler-now-is-time-to-do-somethingRep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), a strong proponent of gun control, argued in the wake of the Connecticut elementary school shooting Friday that the country must have a "serious discussion" about gun laws.
He said in a statement:
"I am absolutely horrified by news of the cold-blooded shooting of dozens of children in Newtown, Connecticut. Yet another unstable person has gotten access to firearms and committed an unspeakable crime against innocent children. We cannot simply accept this as a routine product of modern American life. If now is not the time to have a serious discussion about gun control and the epidemic of gun violence plaguing our society, I dont know when is. How many more Columbines and Newtowns must we live through? I am challenging President Obama, the Congress, and the American public to act on our outrage and, finally, do something about this."
