A Father of a Sandy Hook Baby talked to a Senate committee yesterday

I think everyone should spend the time listening to this father speak about his loss.  I have 3 children and helped raise others as well and I would be devastated if these children had been killed by a crazy person with an assault weapon.  (The AK 15 is similar to the WEAPON OF WAR which I was trained in during my time in the US Army)

Around the 5:50 mark Mr. Heslin makes a very important point about the 2nd Amendment:  

"They warn you about the 2nd Amendment. Well the 2nd Amendment says a well regulated militia. Bear arms, freedom of state...It HASN'T been well regulated. It's not being well regulated."

That is a very important observation. The 2nd Amendment may provide the right to "keep and bear arms" but it does NOT afford that right free of government regulation.

And that is all anybody is asking for here. The right to protect our babies from the fanatics who stockpile weapons and may someday use them on their fellow citizens, or worse yet, a classroom full of innocent children.
