Today, Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) issued the following statement in response to the shooting of dozens of elementary schoolchildren in Newtown, Connecticut:

“I am absolutely horrified by news of the cold-blooded shooting of dozens of children in Newtown, Connecticut.  Yet another unstable person has gotten access to firearms and committed an unspeakable crime against innocent children.  We cannot simply accept this as a routine product of modern American life.  If now is not the time to have a serious discussion about gun control and the epidemic of gun violence plaguing our society, I don’t know when is.  How many more Columbines and Newtowns must we live through?  I am challenging President Obama, the Congress, and the American public to act on our outrage and, finally, do something about this.”
