Time to Stand Up [View all]



Obama Speaks from University of Hartford (Connecticut)

Published on Apr 8, 2013

With time running out on the chance to pass gun control legislation, President Barack Obama on Monday warned Congress not to use delaying tactics against tighter regulations and told families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims that he's "determined as ever" to honor their children with tougher laws. "If you're an American who wants to do something to prevent more families from knowing the immeasurable anguish that these families know, now is the time to act," Obama said from the University of Hartford.

This video is about 25 minutes and he addresses every concern and is well worth the time to watch it. Thank to bigtree for bringing this to DU, posting it with permission.
