"I'm sorry that a Congressman was shot. I'm sorry that Trayvon Martin was shot. I'm sorry that those Amish schoolchildren were shot. I'm sorry that Gabby Giffords was shot. I'm sorry that the Aurora theater victims were shot. I'm sorry the kids at Sandy Hook elementary were shot. I'm sorry that Congress voted to give mentally ill people guns. I'm sorry that the NRA means more to Republicans than anyone's child. I'm sorry that Congress didn't extend the assault rifle ban. I'm sorry that you can get a gun and be on the no fly list. I'm sorry that you can take a gun into a bar. I'm sorry that people would rather send their thoughts and prayers instead of actually doing something to end this! I'm sorry that we are all so desensitized to violence in our country that everyone's first question is, who did the perpetrator vote for? I'm sorry that there is such a stigma regarding mental health. Until we actually make changes, all any of us are ever going to be is sorry."
