“Yet this is an issue that should transcend politics. No one who hears the stories of the victims — those who survived the gunshots and those who did not — can possibly believe that gun violence is an issue to be determined by the politics of the moment. No one who hears these stories can escape the conclusion that the unnecessary loss of life and untold suffering from easy access to deadly weaponry presents not a political issue but a moral issue. The politicians are not hearing, because they are not listening.” – Dennis Henigan
