Parents of children killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School appeared before a subcommittee of the Connecticut Legislature on Monday to speak about gun control. While some used the platform to promote stricter firearms legislation, at least one parent became passionate, claiming that there are more than enough laws on the books, that current regulations simply need to be enforced and that the nation needs to embrace personal responsibility.

Megyn Kelly showed some of this on Fox News today. It was very moving and quite convincing.

Mark Mattioli was simply awesome. I saw it live. I almost didn’t watch for fear that he was going to call for gun control. I have been waiting for one of the parents to have the courage to stand up and say what he said.

It’s not the guns, it’s the culture.

Let’s have an honest debate over what changed our culture.....crickets.

[I want the USA back]

The media will just ignore it.

It’s not the guns, it’s the culture.

LV Ron you are so right. I remember our culture back in the the 1950s and early '60 when there were few gun laws on the books. As I'm sure you well know, you could order a rifle or handgun through the mail back then, and there were no school shootings or gangbangers shooting up urban streets. A classmate of mine even made a working pistol in metal shop class in high school in 1964 and got an "A" on it from the teacher. Crickets is right.

And up to the early 1960's, there was No Federal-Judicial

law against

Freedom OF Religion in public schools.

And Children with Hyper-activity/A.D.H.D./A.D.D.

and all that other psycho-babble

were not being served with

Selective Seratonin Reuptake Inhibitors

Actually, you have a few years on me (I graduated HS in 1979) but I agree with you absolutely.

I am appreciative of the fact I got to see "How Things Ought To Be", even though things were in a decline even then.

What changed our culture is a long and meaningful discussion that will never be had, because it lays at the feet of Godless, communist, liberal democrats.

What's worse is the ones who profess to be Republicans did nothing but slow the "progress"

I wash my hands of them all, money is the God in DC.

The love of money is the root of all evil

DC proves it.
