>>> LET ME FINISH TONIGHT WITH A MORAL ECHO OF WHAT HAPPENED ON
THIS DAY SIX YEARS AGO.
IT WAS ON DECEMBER 14th, 2012,
THAT 20 FIRST GRADERS AND SIX
TEACHERS WERE GUNNED DOWN AT
SANDY HOOK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN
NEW TOWN, CONNECTICUT.
REMEMBER?
REMEMBER? OF COURSE YOU DO.
HERE’S PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA
THAT DAY ADDRESSING THE COUNTRY.
>> THEY HAD THEIR ENTIRE LIVES
AHEAD OF THEM.
BIRTHDAYS, GRADUATIONS,
BIRTHDAYS, GRADUATIONS, WEDDINGS, KIDS OF THEIR OWN.
AMONG THE FALLEN WERE ALSO
TEACHERS, MEN AND WOMEN WHO
DEVOTED THEIR LIVES TO HELPING
OUR CHILDREN FULFILL THEIR
DREAMS.
DREAMS. SO OUR HEARTS ARE BROKEN TODAY.
>> IT IS IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE
THAT TODAY, THOSE LOST FIRST
GRADERS AT SANDY HOOK WOULD HAVE
BEEN SEVENTH GRADERS.
ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WE SHOULD
ASK EACH OF THE 2020 CANDIDATES
FOR PRESIDENT IS, WHERE DO THEY
STAND ON GUN SAFETY?
WE ALREADY KNOW WHAT THIS
PRESIDENT STANDS FOR.
