When 20 schoolchildren, mostly first-graders, were shot to death at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, 2012, the nation renewed a fierce debate over gun laws.
The slaughter of children, many of whom hid under desks and in closets to avoid a mad gunman stalking their hallways, seemed the tipping point for a sincere re-examination of state and federal gun laws.

Law abiding American gun owners - bad.

Apparently she believes she could pull off what Hitler couldn't.
5. Ban all Confederate Flags in Chicago.
(Hey, it’s the answer for the Charlotte shootings. Why not try it in Chicago too?)
I could not find any comment possibilities at the site.
