I think this (Newtown) was the tipping point in this country. When moms see 6 and 7-year-old babies shot eleven times each – things don’t go back to normal. That was the 16th mass shooting in 2012. We thought we were being protected by our elected officials. We weren’t. We realize that now. The bell can not be un-rung. We are going to be a force to be reckoned with.
