In bad taste and very bad manners. Regardless of anyones view on the subject, there is no excuse for anyone to treat this father of a dead son like this. Mr. Heslin deserves to have his say without any interuption, more so than most in attendance. If you disagree with what is said, okay then, but give him the respect he deserves, then have your own say on the matter.

I can see why people want action on school shootings,and I do too.But,if we don't address the problems of the mentally ill first,and secure our schools from these threats,they will still occur with just what is available in any kind of weapons,which are plentiful!Taking my rights away,because somebody drove drunk,and weren't responsible for their habits would be the same as taking our guns because somebody killed illegally. Drugs are illegal,and how are you going to get the guns from druggies and Cartels?If we enforced the laws we already have and stopped taking liberty from the law abiding,we would not be so divided in this Nation. Ask anyone who survived the halocaust about self defence from a tyrant. Six million Jews can't be wrong!
