1. David Wheeler has me bawling

What is it worth doing to keep your children safe

[malaise]

3. They will represent very well

They understand that it will take generations - loved the comment about seat belts and changing the culture.

[Spazito]

4. It is a very powerful and heartwrenching interview...

I am in tears and have enormous respect and admiration for them. I hope everyone see this interview, it is a must-see, imo.

[malaise]

5. Out of this world

Very sad but they are so articulate and clearly understand what is needed.
We can add the video as it becomes available - gosh this is sad

[gblady]

6. crying here, too.....

very powerful interview...

[Jennicut]

7. Amazing people.

I couldn't get through watching that without crying. My kids are only 1 and 2 years older the Ben Wheeler. I know Newtown fairly well, have lived in CT all 37 years of my life. It just hits so close to home.
This is bigger then politics or parties. They are right, dealing with this issue of violence by guns is necessary for all children in the United States.

8. This slaughter was the last straw

and I thank the Wheelers for understanding that

[nolabear]

9. Everyone who says anything about guns should have to hear this.

Both sides. These people are so loving, so moving and unbelievably brave as they keep their son close and try to make something come of the horror of his death that I cannot imagine not giving them a major voice.

I am in awe of their grace.

the end of the interview when Ben's mom talked about her dad predicting greatness for Ben I just out and out lost it.

[malaise]

12. He didn't expect him to be dead

That was heartbreaking

[sad-cafe]

11. those parents are inspiring.

I don't know if I could be so positive in that situation.
