Some of the parents and family of the 26 children and adults killed in the mass shooting in Newtown, Conn., tell Scott Pelley their mission for gun control will last throughout their lifetimes. Several parents and a husband of one of the victims of Adam Lanza's murder-suicide rampage last December spoke to Pelley in Newtown for a 60 Minutes report to be broadcast Sunday, April 7 at 7:00 p.m. ET/PT.
A portion of the report was broadcast on the CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley. The following is a transcript:
Among the families, we spoke with Nicole Hockley who lost 6-year-old Dylan and Bill Sherlach whose wife Mary was the school psychologist.
Scott Pelley: In terms of the things that are being considered in Washington, are any of them at the top of your priority list? If you could have one thing or you could have two, what would you choose?
Bill Sherlach: Personally, I would-- I would think the ma-- limiting magazine size and universal background check. If I had to pick two-
Nicole Hockley: And anything that helps reduce-- gun trafficking as well, in the straw purchases, to know that you can't buy a gun for someone else.
Scott Pelley: Straw purchases are those when a person who has a clean record buys a gun for a person who would not have been able to pass a background check?
Nicole Hockley: Correct. And that--
Scott Pelley: It happens all the time.
Nicole Hockley: That's common sense, isn't it?
Scott Pelley: Do any of you fear that after only four months the impact of this on the Congress is beginning to fade....

But no, it don't jive with current admin’s goal.
Appears that about 20 pro-gun comments are posted for every anti-gun comment. Anti-gun remarks seem to follow the usual “you’re just so stupid” line of logic.
Last year at a pro-gun rally, I spoke with one of the protesters with a “ban assault rifles” sign. When it became painfully apparent that she knew nothing at all about guns, I suggested that she could go onto Wikipedia and pick up some basic gun facts. She told me “I know all I need to know” and then told me “You’re just so stupid” and stomped off. Pretty amusing. With that level of arrogance and ignorance she should consider a career in politics!
Puppets all. Incoherent thought is the game of the day. Reason and logic and facts have no place in the discussion. AT ALL! Only feeling count.
This is exactly why I haven’t watched even ONE minute of “60 Minutes” in the last 20+ years. Libtards on parade.
Never let a good crisis go to waste. More useful servants for the lib plantation.
What’s next, a knife, axe, hammer, an automobile? The possibilities are endless.
My sympathy is with the deceased children, not the parents.
As a parent, too-I’m so very sorry for the loss of their children these parents have experienced. That said, the perpetrator is the only one to blame, period-and he is dead. They need to stop blaming people they have never met and never will-and Leave. Everyone. Alone..
“How can all these people, seemingly of sound mind and normal intelligence, be so clueless?
How is it they anticipate having the time and resources to run ‘the marathon’ the rest of their lives to push this legislation? Don’t they work? Have other responsibilities?”
The MSM has elevated “fame” above all else. It does not matter how you get it, becoming “famous” is what has become the highest possible good that you can want. One of the direct consequences of this are the mass shootings.
It seems very strange to me, because “fame” seems to be a dubious thing at best. There is a very heavy price to be paid for fame.
How come none of the families who were spotlighted in interviews following the massacre are in this group? Parkers, Phelps, etc..????
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
I'm sorry for your loss but I guess we will be enemies now.

The family members are tools of the commies (and probably some are commies themselves).
If it looks like a commie... talks like a commie and acts like a commie...

Leave it to the commies down at 60 Minutes to want to dance the Newtown Rag in the blood of these children. What a disgrace.
That's why Obama and MSM flew in to make their "statement".
Hey great! So nthey’re going to start in Chi-Congo first?
Really disgusting, even for CBS. Are they worried about Piers Morgan beating them in the ratings or something? This is MSNBC level garbage.
The new 9-11 widows(britewiser? et al).
My impression, many, NOT ALL, families of victims,especially victims made famous, become quite
attracted to the teevee circuit,possibilities of bigmoney
lawsuits and potential “books” and all the attention in general.
Maybe I’m wrong.
I have more questions than answers.
