So sad, all the babies killed at the school in CT and nothing happened, no new laws passed, all the politicians bowing down to the NRA. What is the aim of the NRA? To sell more guns so the gun manufacturers will line their pockets with more money. The NRA is just like Donald Trump, playing to the fears of weak people.

So glad to see Parker's father step up to the plate. He has my support and I want to contribute to any organization that he forms.

DU members, we are a strong group. Let's help this man get more gun control.
