1. Devastating

[MicaelS]

2. Stunning.

Should be mandatory viewing for every public official in the country.

[Sinistrous]

3. Every morning while they sip their coffee

or latte, as the case may be.

[Gothmog]

11. I agree

This ad should be mandatory viewing for public officials

[TreasonousBastard]

4. I've seen that, and it is brilliant and terrifying...

NSW my rosy red ass-- it's the new Duck&Cover, but this time it's for real.

[Initech]

5. Such a fucked up society we live in where guns are preferred to safety.

These kids deserve better.

[Wounded Bear]

6. I'm a pretty stoic guy, and that gets to me...

[RainCaster]

7. There is a whole series of these, and they are all great

They need to be spread to one and all

[Vinca]

8. That's a really powerful ad. I don't understand why gun control is so difficult. Surely

there are some kids from Republican homes who have been injured or died. If I had kids I'd be worried all the time when they were at school.

12. Many Republicans don't seem to understand until they have direct experience themselves

They can’t put themselves in the shoes of others until it happens to them.

Not all, but many.

9. If Sandy Hook could not move this nation to pursue even reasonable gun control,

what will it take?

15. I hate even typing this, but the only thing that might finally be the tipping point

would be pictures/video from a mass shooting. Most of those on the left have enough empathy without it, but I think conservatives seeing something they can’t unsee might finally get them to re-evaluate their priorities.

Would I personally want something like this released? No. But as you said, even Sandy Hook wasn’t enough, and video may not either. It probably wouldn’t. But it’s about the only thing left at this point.

16. There are those who already claim Sandy Hook was a hoax,

so the claim would be the photos were fake as well.

[Gothmog]

10. This is a powerful ad that is painful to watch

This is a truly great ad that is also really hard to watch

[MicaelS]

13. Replies are not allowed, thank God.

But some of the posts on other videos about this one are just filled with hate and bile. Disgusting.

[Hekate]

14. Nicolle Wallace played it for her guests today. She looked like she was at a funeral; asked them...

"How many of you have a child in elementary school?" Nobody raised their hand. She's the only one and she has a 7-year old who has to do active shooter drills.

It's a great and heartbreaking ad. 💔

They are hunting our children down like beasts.

[cwydro]

17. Damn.

[orleans]

18. heard about this on the morning news today

i really hesitated to watch it, but i did.
