GET OUT A BOX OF KLEENEX

 
MSNBC host Rachel Maddow conducts an interview with David and Francine Wheeler who lost their son Ben, a six-year old, at the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting last month in Newtown, Connecticut.


The video is a tear-jerker and comes with extreme caution, but it is a story that should be told especially on this day when President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden unveil the plans they have formulated to combat the rising amount of gun violence that is sweeping across the United States.


Here is the link to the interview with Ben's parents: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/vp/50464296#50464296


We can only hope the Republicans and their mouthpiece Fox News drop the ridiculous notion that everyone has a right to "bear arms."


Please pass this video on to any of your friends who might be interested in hearing first-hand from a family who lost a six-year old in the mass murder at the Sandy Hook Elementary school.
