GUNS: Listen to mom

Nicole Hockley, mother of Dillon Hockley, murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary, and co-founder of the Newtown Sandy Hook Promise, spoke to Donald Trump at the White House Wednesday saying, “This is not difficult. These deaths are preventable.” Mrs. Hockley shouldn’t have to appeal to elected officials to do something about these deaths. It’s more than disturbingly obtuse.

Children shouldn’t have to worry about going to school and being shot to death. Mrs. Hockley’s request is not unreasonable.
