"OUR CHIEF AFFLICTION IS THAT WE LIVE NOT ACCORDING TO THE LIGHT OF REASON,
BUT AFTER THE FASHION OF OTHERS."
Seneca (4 BC - AD 65)
"You had mentioned that day, the burden on owners of gun stores that the expanded background checks would harm. I am just wondering why the burden of my mother being gunned down in the halls of her elementary school isn't more important than that." Erica Lafferty, daughter of Dawn Hochsprung who was gunned down by Newtown shooter Adam Lanza, in speaking with Senator Ayotte at a local town meeting as to why she voted against background checks for gun sales.
