A handful of people at the packed legislative hearing then shouted about their Second Amendment rights when Heslin asked if anyone could provide a reason for a civilian to own an assault-style weapon.
"We're all entitled to our own opinions and I respect their opinions and their thoughts," Heslin said. "But I wish they'd respect mine and give it a little bit of thought."
"I ask if there's anybody in this room that can give me one reason … why anybody … needs to have one of these assault-style weapons or military weapons or high capacity clips,'' Heslin said.
"The Second Amendment shall not be infringed,'' shouted several male voices in the crowd.
Senate Majority Leader Martin Looney, co-chairman of the task force subcommittee that held the hearing, ordered the crowd to refrain from responding.
Heslin continued: "We're all entitled to our own opinion. I respect their opinions and their thoughts but I wish they'd respect mine and give it a little bit of thought and realize that it could have been their child that was in that school that day.''
he has been through alot, however infringing on the rights of people who had nothing to do with his childs death is alot worse then what they did to him
IMHO the two issues listed above are not remotely compareable.
So this guy from Newtown would rather that that woman in Georgia and her three kids be dead - when that guy broke into their house?
It seems like this guy should call us Suzanna Hupp and tell her he's glad she couldn't defend her parents and keep them from dying.
Seriously buddy - sorry for your loss - but............... arguing that everybody else should lose their rights because of what a CRIMINAL did to you kid - is a non- starter with a lot of people.
I'm glad to see people not backing down on this. No matter how grievous this guy's loss - he should get a massive load of shit for using the pulpit to try and screw over people and take away their rights.
The truth of the matter is - he is using his son's death - to argue that other people should die. Because somewhere there is going to be person who gets killed - maybe even MANY of them - if we were to follow this guy's wishes.
So basically his argument is: My son died - and I think more people should die because of that.
See here's the truth about genocide - genocide happens when you get disparate cultures or belief systems living side by side - that hate each other. Sooner or later one group of people get dominance - they take away the less dominant groups ability to defend themselves - AND THEN THEY KILL THEM ALL OFF.
I assume it's that, but it's not really heckling since he asked a question. Maybe it was an rhetorical question, I don't know.
IMHO the two issues listed above are not remotely compareable.
Do you have any confirmation that she was reckless in storage? I have been able to find little more than speculation but there is so much crap out there I may have missed iti understand his grevin, but please do not blame us, we were not a part
of this mess. His mother was careless in storing her firearms, he was
basicaly nuts and no one did anything to confine him. and this is what
happens.
so F#ck off;

I saw the whole video and he asked a question of the audience, he then turned around and looked at everyone for an answer, when he then turned back and said something to the effect of "no one can answer my questions?" he then looked again and that is when the crowd answered him. MSNBC put out an edited video that seems to show the crowd interrupting him but that was definitely not the case. haven't we learned yet, that all is not at it seems when the media is involved?
This is exactly what happened. When no one answered the first time, he started to use the silence as 'they have no reason to give for wanting an AR, etc.' He used the respectful silence against gun right supporters. He's probably not emotionally great right now so I give him a pass on intent.
