When President Barack Obama was elected, the firearm community was in an uproar, spreading their fearmongering doctrine that Obama was out to take away their guns.
Now as violent mass-murder gun crimes escalate, it is time to change laws and re-examine which firearms belong under the Second Amendment. By not supervising their own, the unsupervised have brought upon their own community its worst fear — government intervention.
Let us "highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain," that by recognizing that we now live in a different world and that change is necessary, that the tragic and horrific events of Sandy Hook Elementary may never occur again.
