And the great, tragic irony of it all was that even on the day that we celebrated our nation s independence, the land of the free and the home of the brave, that was still not free from the terror of a mass shooting. and what s bursting in air only gives proof through the night that our national epidemic of gun violence is still very much here. and this, by the way, is with the new legislation. so what now? when will we feel that freedom? i want to bring in cnn political commentators paul begala and alice stewart. we ve all had these conversations in the past as well, and we continue to have them about these ideas of how we live under this constant sword of damocles. and, paul, i mean, listen to this. look at this picture of a lake county police officer. he s in highland park. he s holding his head in utter shock and despair. i mean there have been 319 mass ....
