Nadler: ‘Now Is The Time’ To Talk Gun Control
Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler this afternoon became one of the first elected officials to call for new gun-control legislation in the wake the shooting at an elementary school in Connecticut that has left nearly 30 dead, including 18 children.
In the statement, Nadler says he is “challenging President Obama” and members of Congress to take action.
“I am absolutely horrified by news of the cold-blooded shooting of dozens of children in Newtown, Connecticut. Yet another unstable person has gotten access to firearms and committed an unspeakable crime against innocent children. We cannot simply accept this as a routine product of modern American life. If now is not the time to have a serious discussion about gun control and the epidemic of gun violence plaguing our society, I don’t know when is. How many more Columbines and Newtowns must we live through? I am challenging President Obama, the Congress, and the American public to act on our outrage and, finally, do something about this.”
