Chris Murphy said "It doesn't take courage to stand her on the floor of the United States Senate for two hours or six hours or 14 hours, doesn't take courage to stand up to the gun lobby when 90 percent of your constituents want change to happen. It takes courage to look into the eye of a shooter, instead of running, wrapping your arms around a six-year-old boy and accepting death as a trade for just a tiny little piece of increased peace of mind for a little boy under your charge." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
