Because if we cant do that without arousing the call to arms of the nra, then we have to wonder what side this group, the nra, is on. Those who want to keep the scariest guns from the scariest people or those who want to make it easy as possible for the scariest people to get the scariest guns . What side are you on, mr. And mrs. America . We begin with Gadhafi Dan Malloy of connecticut. Governor, thank you so much. I was so taken with your emotional statements recently, the last 24 hours, and talk about it.
