YESTERDAY was the day to debate it. Dont just mourn these poor dead children America get angry and do something to stop these senseless shootings happening. Last 2yrs: movie theatres, shopping malls, temples, a congresswoman, now an elementary school when will America deal with its gun madness? Piers Morgan @piersmorgan - Another day, another horrific shooting this time at an elementary school in Connecticut. Americas gun culture has to change.
