“You had mentioned that day you voted, owners of gun stores that the expanded background checks would harm,” Lafferty said, during a town hall in Warren, N.H. “I am just wondering why the burden of my mother being gunned down in the halls of her elementary school isn’t more important than that.”
Ayotte told Lafferty she was sorry for her loss but did not directly answer the question.
Kelly Ayotte Confronted Over Background Checks Vote By Erica Lafferty, Newtown Victim’s Daughter
Published on Apr 30, 2013
Erica Lafferty, the daughter of slain Sandy Hook Elementary School principal Dawn Hochsprung, confronted Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) Tuesday over her vote against expanding background checks for firearm purchases.
“You had mentioned that day you voted, owners of gun stores that the expanded background checks would harm,” Lafferty said, during a town hall in Warren, N.H. “I am just wondering why the burden of my mother being gunned down in the halls of her elementary school isn’t more important than that.”
CNN’sMartin Savidge investigates how easy it is to buy guns without showing any ID or filling out a single form.
Yes CNN did an illegal purchase out of state and purchased several illegal guns illegally, TO SHOW YOU DUMBASSES THAT IT HAPPENS AT MOST, IF NOT ALL, GUN SHOWS.
The purpose, for you to stupid to comprehend and who are screaming that CNN committed illegal actions, is that this “loop hole” needs to be closed.
Dedicated to the children, families, and victims of gun violence and shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Newtown, Connecticut, Friday, December 14, 2012. A humble mourning and remembrance.

VERY SPECIAL TRIBUTE: Newtown VICTIMS and HEROS that GAVE THEIR LIVES to protect them MUST SEE!
Published on Dec 16, 2012
Apologies to Rachel D’Avino family. While compiling video I waited until I had a photo of Rachel and was happy to see one included in a report. It appears to be incorrect as well as the spelling of her name which I have tried to correct.
I created the video Sat/Sun while there was little info on the victims and very few photos available. The effort was worthwhile to me. I hope it is to others also.
Each week, like many presidents before me, I sit down to record a short address to the nation. It’s something I take very seriously because it offers a chance to bring focus to an issue that needs to be part of the national dialogue.
But today, I’ve asked someone to take my place.
Francine Wheeler is a mother. She and her family live in Newtown, Connecticut. Four months ago, her six year-old son Ben was murdered in his elementary school, along with 19 other children and six brave educators.
Joined by her husband David, Francine shares her perspective about the steps we can take to reduce gun violence and prevent the kind of tragedy she understands all too well.
This week’s address is delivered by Francine Wheeler, whose six year old son, Ben, was murdered alongside nineteen other children and six educators in Newtown, Connecticut, four months ago. Now, Francine — joined by her husband David — is asking the American people to help prevent this type of tragedy from happening to more families like hers.
This week, because people like Francine and like you got involved, the U.S. Senate took a step forward on commonsense reforms to reduce gun violence.
And that’s good. Because this shouldn’t be about politics. This is about doing the right thing for families that have been torn apart by gun violence, and for all our families going forward.
But we’ve got a lot of work to do before Congress finishes the job.
So if you believe that we can take sensible steps to protect more of our kids from gun violence and protect our Second Amendment rights, stand up and join us.
Thank you Mr. President, for an unprecedented approach to COMMON SENSE Gun Reform legislation.
While most of Washington D.C. (especially our 113th Congress) runs around taking an ungodly number of “breaks”, you Mr. President, work diligently to get America’s agenda accomplished.
Thank you From the bottom of my heart for your hard work.
This week’s address is delivered by Francine Wheeler, whose six year old son, Ben, was murdered alongside nineteen other children and six educators in Newtown, Connecticut, four months ago. Now, Francine – joined by her husband David – is asking the American people to help prevent this type of tragedy from happening to more families like hers. Since that terrible day in December, thousands more Americans have died, and thousands more families have suffered the pain of losing a loved one to violence. Now that the Senate has agreed that commonsense gun safety reforms deserve a vote, they must finish the job and pass those reforms to protect our children and our communities. Now is the time for all Americans to help make this a moment of real change.
In no other country in the western world is gun ownership considered an unfettered right. The Second Amendment does not guarantee the right to own whatever ‘arm’ (i.e., gun) you want. If that were the case, then I have the right to own a nuclear bomb. It’s sad and disgusting that people consider the right to own a gun more important than others’ right to live their life, such as the kids at Sandy Hook. The US needs to re-prioritize and gain some empathy and perspective.
And now they’re going to start denying your families a vote when the cameras are off and when the lobbyists have worked what they do? You deserve better than that. You deserve a vote.
On January 16, President Obama issued 23 executive actions to help reduce gun violence, and called on Congress to pass laws that would help keep guns out of the wrong hands and make our schools safer. The President and Vice President have worked for common-sense measures to protect our children and our communities. Both have spoken with families of gun violence, mayors, law enforcement officers, community leaders and Americans across the country.
